XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Experian and XXXX ) Multiple accounts still marked as charged off after disputes were resolved.

XXXX XXXX ( Experian and XXXX ) The account is listed as a resolved dispute, though I disagree with the outcome, and the derogatory mark is incorrect.

5. Duplicate or Repetitive Accounts : XXXX is reporting duplicate entries for the following accounts, which unfairly impacts my credit score : XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Multiple listings for the same account appear on my XXXX report. 
XXXX XXXX  The same account is reported more than once, and the duplicate entry contributes to an incorrect number of derogatory accounts.

6. Outdated Information : Some accounts, such as XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, appear to have been listed as derogatory for an extended period, longer than the statutory XXXX years for charge-offs and collections. These outdated entries should be removed.
