Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the failure to conduct a proper investigation into my dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681. My dispute concerns the inaccurate late payment information reported on my credit report by XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Nature of the Dispute : On [ XX/XX/XXXX ], I disputed the accuracy of the late payment information reported by XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX with your agency. Specifically, I contested the late payment notation for [ XX/XX/XXXX ] as it is incorrect. Despite my detailed dispute, I received a notification that my dispute was resolved without any changes to my credit report. I believe the investigation conducted by your agency was inadequate and did not comply with the requirements set forth by the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Request for Method of Verification : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ), I am entitled to receive a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information. Therefore, I am formally requesting the method of verification used in your investigation into my dispute regarding the late payment reported by XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX. Please provide detailed information on : The sources contacted during your investigation The documentation reviewed The process followed to verify the information Request for Re-Investigation : In addition, I request that you re-investigate this matter promptly. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), you are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information or delete the item from my credit report. 

Supporting Information from Original Creditor : I have also disputed this late payment directly with XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX, and they have confirmed that the late payment notation will be deleted due to inaccuracies in reporting. This further substantiates my claim that the information is incorrect. The original creditors acknowledgment of the inaccuracies indicates a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which mandates accurate reporting. 

Request for Update and removal of late payment : In light of the aforementioned inaccuracies and the failure to comply with the FCRA guidelines, I am requesting the immediate deletion of the late payment information for XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX from my credit report. Continued reporting of this inaccurate information is a violation of the FCRA and the guidelines of the Consumer Data Industry Association ( CDIA ).

Conclusion : Please respond to this complaint in writing within 30 days of receipt, as mandated by the FCRA, with the results of your reinvestigation and the method of verification. If you fail to comply, I will not hesitate to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seek legal remedies. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift response and the correction of my credit report as well send me a new report with the new changes thank you
