Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: Despite my previous 4 written requests, the unverified items listed still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. They stated in their responses to my 4 dispute letters that they have verified that the items listed are accurate but you failed to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that they have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like they said they did. Their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of their willful disregard of Federal Law.

Consumer Complaint: I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concern regarding the information on my credit report. After a recent review of my credit history, I have observed some inaccuracies that I believe require immediate attention and correction. Upon careful examination, I have identified late payments listed on my credit report that are not accurate. I understand the importance of maintaining an accurate credit history, and I am committed to ensuring that the information on my report reflects my financial behaviour accurately. I kindly request your assistance in investigating and, if necessary, removing or correcting the following late payments from my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. If there is any confusion, I suggest you contact myself or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX customer service representative. XXXX and XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. I understand the importance of maintaining a good credit history, and I am committed to resolving any discrepancies promptly. I kindly request that you initiate an investigation into this matter and update my credit report accordingly. I am confident that, upon review, you will find the necessary grounds to remove or correct the inaccuracies. Please provide me with a written confirmation of the actions taken to rectify this matter once the investigation is complete.
