Generic or boilerplate responses will not fulfill this obligation.

XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX affirmed in XXXX v. Equifax XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX Trans Union XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), credit reporting agencies and furnishers are obligated to conduct meaningful, independent reinvestigations not merely rely on automated verification systems. 

If these entries can not be fully verified with original, date-stamped records, I request their deletion and the update of this account to reflect a status of Pays as agreed. 

Procedural Request ( if verified as accurate ) : If you verify the late payments as accurate, I formally request a full procedural disclosure as outlined in FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), including the method, sources, and documentation used in the verification process.
