Still makes my blood boil that it took me, the consumer, 6 letters to finally get them to fix something so blatantly false.
I'll be sure to do that.

The implication that by updating they admit inaccuracy may be true, but it does not necessarily establish that their prior verification was knowingling inaccurate.
It may have been a less than thorough first investigation, but they have now agreed to correct.
Thus, I would not assert a violation of the FCRA on the basis that they knowingly falsified their prior verification.
As to whether or not what is remaining is accurate, they have verified it to be so. It may not fix their reporting in the manner you consider to be accurate, but if they stand by their position, that concludes their obligation under the direct dispute process.
To get resolution as to the contested accuracy is beyond the scope of the dispute process, and in my opinion, not an issue for the CFPB unless you have support for asserting that their position is blatantly incorrect, and thus knowingly false.
The next step might require getting the evidence before a court who has authotity to review all the evidence of both parties, and make a binding determiantion as to accuracy or inaccuracy.
As always, thank you. It is very disappointing the OC can be at the very least "sloppy" in fulfilling their obligations and our options, without significant time and perhaps costs, are somewhat limited.
I will take one more swing at the ball to see what I can do.
You would think that after so many letters, it would have been passed on to someone else.
Why "reconsider" after being told it was accurate and now it is not?
They do have an obligation to report accurately. At the very least they should include something showing why they are stating it is accurate. Regulations, guidelines etc.
I completely agree. At the very least lazy and sloppy. But as I said, I'm formulating my next step and I will put on the full court press.
