FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING - SUNTRUST TO TRY TO GE THEIR HELP REMOVING A REPORTING FROM MY CREDIT BUREAUS THAT THEY ARE REPORTING TO. AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL EMPLOYEES TO JUST SEND OVER A COPY OF MY CREDIT REPORT AND A WRITTEN LETTER REQUESTING THE ACCOUNTS TO BE DELETED AND THEY WILL HAVE THEM REMOVED. THESE ACCOUNTS ARE ALREADY CLOSED AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS. AND I AM APPLYING FOR A HOME LOAN. IN ORDER TO GET APPROVED THESE ACCOUNTS NEED TO COME OFF. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT I CAN DO THAT SUNTRUST HAS ASKED ME TO AND THEY HAVE BROKEN THEIR PROMISE TO ME AND LIED TO ME BY TELLING ME IT WAS ALREADY REMOVED. WHEN I CALLED SUNTRUST TODAY AND SPOKE WITH - EMPLOYEE ID -. HE SAID THAT HE IS SORRY FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING BUT HE WILL NOT BE HELPING ME REMOVE THIS FROM MY ACCOUNT ALL THOUGH I WAS PROMISED THAT IT WOULD BE REMOVED. BECAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE TO. AND IT IS THERE REGULATIONS TO KEEP IT THERE FOR 7 OR MORE YEARS. WHY HAVE I SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL EMPLOYEES AND NON OF THEM E-CEPT HIM KNOW THIS POLICY? AND WHY WAS I PROMISED IT WOULD BE COMPLEATLY DELETED AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING NO? AND THE FIRST COMPANY WAS CLOSED DOWN AND SUNTRUST TOOK OVER SO WHY ARE THEY STILL REPORTING IT TWICE? AND REFUSING TO STICK TO THEIR PROMISE TO ME TO DELETE IT FROM MY CREDIT HISTORY?
