Complaint sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Our first mortgage went into COVID-assisted forbearance in XX/XX/2020 and US Bank automatically included the XXXX in the programs as well. It took 6 months to get them to send us the required paperwork on the first mortgage and we've been repeatedly told there's another relief program coming for our XXXX. 

Then, 2 weeks ago I received notification that my credit score had dropped over XXXX points thanks for US Bank reporting the loan over 120 days past due. THIS IS WRONG! 
I have spent over 25 hours on the phone but have repeatedly been put on hold, transferred, disconnected but even when I finally get through to the right person, no progress, just more misinformation and confusion. 

PLEASE HELP ME! This bank is so incompetent and they are ruining my credit. 

Thanks, XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Through annualcreditreport, I purchased the Equifax XXXX credit score for {$7.00},  however, the website instructed me to call Equifax customer service.

My credit card was charged 3  times by Equifax and yet they are saying there is no such thing. I am still unable to access my credit score with them. Checking my credit score using XXXX, Equifax shows they dropped my credit score by 78 points with 5 good changes of on-time payments that decreased my balances and one increase of {$32.00}  on a store credit card. This drastic drop on my credit score for a {$32.00} increase on one card seems horribly wrong! Please help!
