Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Description of Investigation Process - Disputed Accounts on My Credit Report To : TransUnion Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to request a detailed description of the investigation process followed by your agency regarding the disputed accounts on my credit report. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies are obligated to provide a description of the investigation within 15 days of receiving a consumer 's dispute. 

I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed an account that was not reporting accurately. Specifically, I had 1 late payments on an account ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) that, in fact, were paid on time. Credit reporting agencies are required to report all information with complete accuracy. This account has never been late on payments. 

I have attached a copy of my report highlighting the disputed payments on the following dates : ( XX/XX/2023 ). I kindly request that you investigate this account and update the payments to " paid on time '' immediately. Thank you for your understanding and prompt action. 

Additionally, I request that you provide a description of the procedure used to investigate and verify this account. If you can not update the payment status to reflect " on time, '' please provide the required documentation and explanation. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this request and look forward to receiving a response within the timeframe established by the FCRA, the Consumer Protection Act, and the Truth in Lending Act. 

I have identified discrepancies in the reporting, and it appears that there may be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The reported late payments on the aforementioned account are inconsistent with my payment history. To the best of my knowledge and records, I have consistently paid this account on time and in accordance with the agreed-upon terms. 

Per 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), my consumer report should not contain information solely related to transactions or experiences between the consumer ( me ) and the entity ( you ) making the report. Payment history, including the reported late payments, negatively impacts my consumer report and is considered part of my transactions and experiences with your company.

Furthermore, I am requesting that you provide me with a written explanation of the reasonable procedures [ according to 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ) ] that you have adopted to ensure that each periodic statement is mailed to me ( the consumer ) no later than 21 days before the payment due date. Please also include all the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of Title 15.
