Complaint:
The Credit Bureaus still have incorrect information on my credit report past the legal 30 days they have to remove false or incorrect information they can not prove. I have never been late on a student loan in my life and there fact that all the good standing loans with the same dates as the derogatory listings that was consolidated in XXXX are still showing on my report is insane to me considering I have disputed this information several times yet due to them having my account mixed with so much false information which makes it unable to b authenticated via internet or phone automated system, and in some cased by their own agents depending on how they pull up my account, the knowledge of the representative or the agents willingness to correctly handle my account. All of my Dept of Edu/XXXX XXXX have been paid on time and consolidated yet since XXXX up to today which is over 7 years they have been knowingly and falsely listing false information on my report. There is no way my loans can be consolidated XXXX and always in good standing from XXXX until that date yet in XXXX I have multiple listings of delinquencies and accounts open in XXXX when all of those loans despite being opened at different times are all handled at the same time when it comes to my consolidation and payment history so how it is that despite it being evident both things can't be true they are still falsely reporting this information and will not provide me with written proof of how this information was verified despite it being contradicting. To make matters worse all the delinquent accounts are showing as still open when all of my loans were consolidated and it's past 7 years and they are still on my report which is also against the law. I have been trying to correct this issue with them since XXXX and they refuse to abide by the law. Back then I did not have time to look up the laws or even know where to look them up. Most of the times laws are abused by those who are in place to enforce them so it doesn't surprise me these agencies are allowed to get away with this. They cause people to have higher interest rates, get denied for business opportunities, not qualify for things they may need, look uncredited worthy all be cause they chose to outsource to foreigners who do not know the American Legal system, can barely understand the account holder or comprehend what the person is stating due to cultural differences. How is that even legal, they have staff who aren't even qualified to manage consumer accounts due to lack of knowledge of American Laws and processes, so these things just stay on a consumers report while these agencies get paid for reporting negatively despite knowing the information is false and the consumer gets screwed for years with no restitution for what has been done to them.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
