Complaint narrative:
This is my fourth formal dispute regarding the continued reporting of false and inaccurate derogatory information on my credit file. I am exercising my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX U.S.C. XXXX et seq. ), demanding immediate correction or deletion. Your failure to correct these errors after multiple disputes demonstrates willful noncompliance and reckless disregard of my rights under federal law. 

HD CREDIT XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am beyond frustrated that despite multiple disputes, this account continues to report inaccurate derogatory remarks. The account has a {$0.00} balance, is paid and closed, yet you are willfully reporting false late payment notations. This is a blatant violation of FCRA XXXX ( b ) and XXXX, which require maximum possible accuracy, as well as XXXX XXXX compliance guidelines that prohibit knowingly reporting incomplete or misleading data. 

You have already had ample opportunity to correct this error. Your continued verification of false late payments constitutes reckless disregard of my rights under FCRA XXXX and XXXX. I demand the immediate and permanent deletion of all late payment notations and an update of this tradeline to reflect Paid as agreed/ Pays as agreed. 

If you can not fully verify each late remark with documented proof that meets FCRA standards, then the inaccurate information must be permanently deleted without delay.
