Practical next step
Determine why the transfer failed, whether another payment was made, and which reporting month is disputed. Challenge only a fact contradicted by the records.
Verify the result
Keep the original report or statement, your supporting records, and any response. Compare the same account and dates after the next update. Accurate information generally cannot be removed just because it affects a score.
