Respectfully Submitted, XXXX XXXX From my previous dispute i also mention regarding the inaccurate and misleading late payment history reported on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account referenced above. This account is listed as joint, and your records fail to reflect proper legal compliance in how this data is being reported and shared. 

Under FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers of credit information must ensure that all data is accurate and complete. The late payment history on this account includes multiple inconsistent entries, including duplicative 30-, 60-, and 90-day lates, and repossession entries that are chronologically impossible. These are not only misleading but violate case law precedent : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) : Even technically accurate entries are unlawful if they give a misleading impression. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) : Repeated charge-off and delinquency reporting found to violate the FCRA. 

Additionally, as this is a joint account, both parties are entitled to all legal notices and disclosures under : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, requiring formal notice of ownership transfer, charge-off, or material changes. 

FDCPA 809 ( a ), mandating debt validation and notice to each responsible party.

You have not produced any documentation showing that both account holders were properly notified, nor have you provided validation of the alleged delinquencies, auction sale figures, or any accounting breakdown required by UCC 9-210.

Given the unverifiable, misleading, and legally deficient reporting, I am demanding that all late payment history entries be removed immediately. If the data can not be fully verified with proper supporting documentation, it must be permanently deleted under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

Please provide written confirmation of the deletion, or a comprehensive breakdown with full validation, within 15 days of receipt of this letter. 

your company denied my demands and written instruction.
