This account has been disputed multiple times to no avail ; with the credit reporting agencies as well as the furnisher directly!

The furnisher is also reflecting a false credit limit, they are stating my credit limit to be XXXX however my credit limit was only {$350.00} and I never received an increase. I have asked the furnisher to provide me with the original documents surrounding this account and have not received it.
