Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AK
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Once again, I submitted my complaint, and once again, less than 2 days sent a message saying they were " investigating '' and then sent an email saying it was " updated '', but did NOTHING! It is like NO ONE is actually LOOKING or READING any of the attachments, including the discharge from the BANKRUPTCY COURT showing ALL Student loans, including XXXX  were discharged. It was discharged due to hardship because of an injury. 
Not ONLY did XXXX turn around and SELL OFF the discharged debt for someone else to try and collect on AFTER discharge, which is illegal, XXXX is now claiming I owe {$20000.00} additional in fees. In 3 years it went from {$21000.00} to {$43000.00}? That's AMAZING! 
As previously stated. I will submit all my paperwork EVERY DAY until THIS IS PROPERLY taken care of as it is FRAUD and WRONG! it goes against EVERYTHING CFPB is set up to do and so much for protection to me under Federal law!!!!!! These companies are getting away with breaking FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY LAWS and NO ONE seems to give a XXXX! I am injured and disabled and this is incredibly frustrating to have to explain the obvious and NO ONE READS!!!! 
Submitting my Complaint AGAIN and WILL CONTINUE to do so EVERY DAY until SOMEONE LOOKS at the documents and these two companies are REMOVED from my report or at the VERY least, reported CORRECTLY!!! 
Due to an injury, I am NO LONGER ABLE to work. Under my chapter XXXX, I lost my business, my retirement, everything I had. The judge declared by case to be a hardship case and ruled that even the student loan to XXXX was discharged. XXXX was aware and, as indicated in the paperwork I am RESUBMITTING, at one point they had reported the account to all the credit bureaus as CLOSED/CHAPTER XXXX BANKRUPTCY. 
2 years later, they decide to pass it off AFTER DISCHARGED BANKRUPTCY to a XXXX  for " collection '', which is totally ILLEGAL! Now, both XXXX AND XXXX  are reporting to all the credit bureaus that this DISCHARGED DEBT is PAST DUE! It was NEVER past due! EVER. It was deferred or in forbearance, but NEVER LATE! It is bad enough that my credit report is showing a bankruptcy that hurts me, but to now have these TWO companies reporting FALSE information and CONTINUING to get away with what is a CLEAR violation, is just baffling and infuriating to me! That has the ENTIRE point of Chapter XXXX and DEFEATS the purpose! 
I am REALLY, REALLY tired of these companies getting away with reporting something that was LEGALLY under FEDERAL LAW DISCHARGED. I am about to file a lawsuit and I will drag in every doctor, judge and person I know for the pain and infliction these companies are causing to me over my credit report. I have had ENOUGH! 
HOW MUCH DOCUMENTATION does it take to get SOMEONE to REALLY DO SOMETHING?? 
LOOK at the attachments! THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! You asked for Documentation and I have given it. AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! 

THE DISCHARGE PAPER FROM THE COURT IS CLEAR! THEY CAN NOT COLLECT on a DISCHARGED DEBT!!

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
