Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

On XX/XX/XXXX I had a credit report pulled by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX,XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , FL XXXX. XXXX   An account that we have been trying to get straight with XXXX and the credit bureaus since last XX/XX/XXXX, with numerous attempts including a prior CFPB complaint, is still showing negative information, including late payments, even though this account was discharged in CH XXXX bankruptcy inXX/XX/XXXX. Credit accounts that are discharged and released in bankruptcy are not supposed to show any past due payments or negative information. I previously complained about this with CFPB and the company responded that it was fixed, but apparently it is not. Here is the prior complaint # from XX/XX/XXXX : XXXX about XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. My previous complaint was against Equifax as much as XXXX as I think XXXX has properly notified Equifax, but I think Equifax is refusing to fix it or it is due to Equifax incompetence. Equifax still shows this item in dispute on this report, however I have not disputed any items with Equifax since XX/XX/XXXX, so all prior disputes should have been resolved by now. This extends way beyond the legal limits of time that Equifax can keep a dispute open and unresolved. It has been in dispute for almost 1 year. Equifax needs to find out what data repository this errant record is in and get it fixed. It is interesting that Equifax shows one thing to the consumer on the consumer report, and then when someone pulls my credit different information is displayed. How deceptive. I do not fault XXXX   as I feel they contacted Equifax in XX/XX/XXXX to correct the record however I feel that Equifax did not fully correct the records in all their data repositories and so XXXX needs to contact the higher ups and their inside connections at Equifax and make sure this is taken care of. I will re-pull a credit report with XXXX  to make sure it is done, once all the parties respond and tell me this has been fixed. I have been trying to get our credit records straight since XX/XX/XXXX, almost 1 year. Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX, XXXX, www.equifax.com/XXXX. I have pasted below what the record reads on the credit report and have attached the actual report. It should not say " consumer investigation in process '' 1 year after the dispute was filed. This is in violation of credit laws. Disputes are supposed to be resolved within a certain time frame or I can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. If I were XXXX, I would not want to deal with these liabilities and I would just have these records removed from our file to avoid future complaints and fines especially considering the time limit for them to be reported is coming up anyway ( 7 years ) or may have already arrived. These records are almost 7 years old I think as of XX/XX/XXXX, maybe they are already. We are just a few months away, please just remove them from our file. I do not recall if this was a joint account but if it was, please fix my wife 's record as well, XXXX XXXX XXXX.
