Creditors will often choose to subjectively report delinquencies to only one or two CRAs, and not to all three.
While a consumer can technically dispute either or both the accuracy or completeness of reporting, and thus could dispute the lack of a complete payment history profile if an actual late is removed from that individual CRA, as a practical matter, consumers rarely choose to dispute the accuracy or completeness that results only in the addition of a delinquency to their report, and thus do not normally file a dispute asserting the lack of reporting of a delinquency for a given month under payment history profile.
If you do choose to dispute, the lack of accuracy or completeness would be the lack of reportng with a given CRA, and NOT the required deletion of an accurate delinquency with one CRA based on its deletion with another CRA.
The only exception would be if you had filed a dispute with a CRA, and the creditor, upon their investigation, had made an explicit finding in the dispute that the delinquency was per se inaccurate, and thus was deleted by the creditor for that reason (i.e., it was inaccurate, and could not be verified or corrected so as to overcome the inaccuracy, and thus was deleted as unverifiable).
When information is corrected or deleted with any one CRA as a result of finding of the creditor in a dispute that it is unverifiable/uncorrectible, then they are also required to report that deletion/correction with any and all other CRAs to which they have also reported the disputed information. Correction or deletion only of the reporting with the single CRA with which the dispute was filed is not sufficient if there is an actual determination of unverifiability. See FCRA 623(b)(1)(D),
It does not appear that the posted scenario resulted in a decision by the creditor that the reporting of the delinquency to any CRA was factually inaccurate, and thus their decision to delete with only one or two CRAs, and not with TU, was improper, and imposed any requirement to delete the TU reporting.
If there were a specific determination by the creditor that the delinquency was not per se accurate, you would have received that specific finding in a Notice of Results of Investigation of the dispute.
I assume that you did not receive an specific Notice of Results that shows that the reported delinquency was not verifiable by the creditor, and thus deleted by the CRA as a formal result of a prior dispute?
