Equifax Credit Reporting Complaint

Incorrect information on credit report account status

Equifax Credit reporting department,

Incorrect information on credit report Account status Pennsylvania

This dispute and investigation is for Equifax Credit Bureau. I had - accounts with - - - as a - in college. These cards were opened at separate times, - in the - - and the other in - -. After losing my job at - I maintained the cards for a little bit but eventually fell behind and let everything crash. The cards were delinquent by the end of - of -. Equifax has it documented that the accounts were opened in - and the other in - which is completely inaccurate. The accounts are way older than that and should have been deleted no later than -. I have disputed with Equifax that the dates are inaccurate and that they be deleted but they failed to do a thorough investigation and to comply. Equifax also is stating the accounts were being paid on time from - to - where then I fell behind which is also untrue. The accounts have been delinquent for years prior. I believe they were allowing the creditor to falsify documents and misconstrue payment history to have the continuous right to keep pursuing me. Also in - - Equifax reported the same - accounts


have held me back. How can Equifax not recognize this debt as being old given that I was - at the time and I am now -. I just wanted to be done with the whole situation where they could n't drop my score anymore by citing " late payments '' so I paid the debt off earlier this year. These accounts still remain on my report and I DEMAND they BOTH be removed once and for all! I am also disputing the fact that they have - reported on my credit file. This account should NEVER have been to collections because I was charged twice for this debt before it went to collections ( hence the lack of payment ) because I was n't paying a third time. I had it deleted from my credit file a couple times but as the debt holders changed Equifax keeps allowing it to come back on my report as collections which effects my score drastically. I paid the " debt '' off AGAIN in - - just so it would n't appear again and to protect my credit score. This account still remains on my report and I DEMAND it be deleted!
