Experian Credit Reporting Complaint

Experian Credit reporting department,

Credit reporting company's investigation No notice of investigation status/result North Carolina

I have recently applied for credit and did not get approved. It prompted me to pull my reports and go over the information in them. Upon looking into things, I noticed there is a bankruptcy on my credit reports with information that does not make sense. I imagine no one would ever have a bankruptcy for $0.00. I then went to the credit reporting agency Experian and sent them a letter to fix this information. After doing so I went to the local county clerks office to see what information they give out to the reporting agencies that ask for it. I was informed that they do not talk to the reporting agencies at all. This confused me because when I looked on my report it said that the dispute of the bankruptcy was investigated and they found it to be all correct. If they do not go down to the clerk 's office at the court or at least call and find out all applicable information then the investigation was not done and they have broken the law. In addition the incorrect information is still on my credit report and I am unable to qualify for any credit products which is making it impossible for me to eventually buy a home. I need the information in my credit file to be correct, and I need Experian to do the job they are required to do by law or remove the incorrect backruptcy off my credit file. Please help because talking to Experian directly has proven to be futile.
