Complaint:
I am writing regarding errors that appear on my credit report. It is my understanding that you must provide a complete and accurate account of any tradelines that you are reporting. However, there are several pieces of missing information that are adversely impacting my credit score. I have outlined below, in detail, what is missing. As a result of several missing payments, the date of first delinquency is not reporting. Therefore, the estimated date of removal is not calculating correctly. The date is being calculated based on the charge off date. However, the date should be calculated based on the first time the account went delinquent and never resumed positive status.

35 % of my credit score is my payment history. On each of the accounts listed above, several years of positive payment history were erased. Additionally, 15 % of my credit score is average age of accounts. Although the date opened is listed correctly, the account age appears to be significantly shorter than it is by redacting several years of history. 

The number of times that I have disputed these accounts to have them come back as confirmed reported accurately is excessive when the errors are blatant.
