    What Compliance Condition Code XE means

    • The combination of XA with the completed-investigation-consumer-disagrees state.
    • Both facts must hold. If the account was not closed at the consumer's request, report XC instead.
    • Typically the last compliance condition a closed, disputed tradeline carries before XR.

    When to report XE

    • 1A consumer closes a credit card, disputes the final late payment, and rejects your investigation findings.
    • 2A borrower requests closure of an account and continues to contest the charge-off amount after review.
    • 3A closed retail account remains contested after a documented direct-dispute investigation.

    Reporting rules

    • Populate Date Closed.
    • Do not report XE before the investigation actually concludes -- while it is open the correct code is XD.
    • Clear with XR if the consumer subsequently withdraws the dispute.
