The 'verified — no change' stonewall
- The situation
- A collector's tradeline shows a re-aged DOFD across two bureaus. First-round §611 comes back 'verified.'
- The play
- Escalate with §611(a)(7) method-of-verification demand, cite the DOFD variance, file a parallel §623(a)(8) direct dispute with the furnisher.
- Recognized outcome
- In documented CFPB complaint outcomes, forced disclosure of MOV frequently results in the reinvestigation being reopened or the item deleted.
