Complaint:
Equifax is reporting reporting a delinquent account from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX which was beyond the 7 year statute of limitations. According to the information Equifax is reporting the last payment on the account was in XX/XX/XXXX. As of XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax refuses to remove the negative information which is over 10 years after the first delinquency. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX continues to report the account as of XX/XX/XXXX, which based on their records is over 20 years after the first delinquency. Their refusal to comply with the law is having a significant negative impact on me. I believe they are discriminating against me due to my age, gender and/or race.

Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I was told it is a gift voucher and was given a store card by forever 21 which involved a lot of paperwork. Back then I did not know what a store card was. This was on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I received mails from them and I thought they were promotions for forever 21. When I received these mails every month. I opened a mail on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to find that I had to pay XXXX USD. I called customer care the very next day and it is very hard to reach them. I paid the amount and asked them to close the card on XXXX XXXX XXXXThey promised me that I wont incur anymore charge from their side since the card was closed. To my horror I incurred XXXX USD by the month of XXXX. I call them up just to find out that there was a hidden XXXX USD which accumulated interest and a late fee to become XXXX USD. They promised me that there wont be any more fee if I pay this XXXX USD. I paid the same hoping this matter is closed once and for all. I receive a mail from them in XX/XX/XXXX that I have to XXXX USD by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am bleeding and this is not fair. Neither customer support nor their chat is useful. I need justice. When I narrow down on the statements. They are just interest and late fee on the interest even after the card and account are closed. How many times should I keep paying.
