Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I became delinquent with a business credit card account with XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX reported my delinquency with the three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, Transunion ). They also hired a collection agency to collect the debt. I reached a settlement agreement with the agency and paid the agreed amount in full per the contract. As soon as I paid the full settlement amount, that is when all my problems began. It has been a nightmare of process that is still ongoing and has severely hindered my ability to get credit and financing ... things that I rely on and need both personally and for my business. In short, as soon as the settlement was paid, all three bureaus reported incorrect dates on my personal reports essentially " re-aging '' my debt. The issue solely stems from the DOFD or " Date of First Delinquency ''. The correct date of the First Delinquency is XX/XX/XXXX. Currently, all three of the credit bureaus have different dates listed for that delinquency. The most damaging is XXXX, who has the First Delinquency date of XX/XX/XXXX. They also removed all the history of the XXXX XXXX account with an exception of one date ... that being XX/XX/XXXX. Please note that I personally contacted XXXX XXXX and they have CONFIRMED the First Date of Delinquency as XX/XX/XXXX. Now, after the confirmation with XXXX XXXX, I sent registered letters to all three bureaus TWICE to dispute the incorrect information. The first was in XX/XX/XXXX ( as soon as the saw the drastic change in my report and massive drop in my credit score ). All three bureaus responded with letters stating that the account was " updated ''. However, nothing was updated in all three reports. I then sent the SECOND set of registered letters to all three bureaus in XX/XX/XXXX stating the information I provided to them was verified by the creditor ( XXXX ). Additionally, I asked them all to please tell me how they were able to " update '' or " verify '' the account. I also stated that because they all have the information incorrectly reported, even after my disputes, BY LAW and the FCRA, they must delete the entire account since they can not get it correct. Unfortunately, I received the SAME EXACT RESPONSES from ALL THREE OF THE BUREAUS with no change to my report. They just sent me generic letters with absolutely no answers whatsoever. As it stands today, my personal report is still incorrect and even more frustrating, all three bureaus have different information for the same XXXX XXXX account. The entire process has been a nightmare and has wrecked me both financially and mentally. I DO NOT know what to do at this point. I hope that the government will assist me in this matter.
