I am concerned that XXXX, XXXX and Equifax are intentionally reporting my credit scores at the lowest level due to the fact that I am an XXXX XXXX. I believe that it may be possible that a comparability of my credit history with others could produce a higher credit score. I have 6 months of late payments from XXXX to XXXX from XXXX, however, have made on time payments since XXXX of XXXX and currently now have XXXX credit cards. I also have significant school debt which is paid on time. In addition, my utilization rate is high, however, if you review my credit score it doesn't move at all? Over the last two years of on time payments it has remained relatively flat? It appears that after two years of on time payments this has no significant positive affect on my score? Currently my XXXX score is on XXXX? I don't believe a score this low accurately affects my ability based on my past to repay a loan?
