Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

XXXX XXXX, XXXX  I am currently looking at my credit report and to my own detriment, I see that your company STILL is reporting my student loans very inaccurately and unlawfully, and I firmlyafter many disputed attempts to have this corrected with your company -- request an immediate deletion of these discrepant items ASAP. 
I can attest to the fact that I have never paid ANY of my student loans late for the entire lifespan of the loans, including years before the pandemic, during and afterwards as I have been on an approved forbearance/deferment. 
I contacted the US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION in XXXX of this year, and they show that there was a discrepancy in process ( no fault of my own, and ) my loans are current, no history of late payments and theyve recently traded my student loans to another loan servicer. They stated that they will refresh my credit reports within 45-60 days, which is far too long for me to have to wait as it is adversely affecting my credit accounts. 
Each of my credit reports by all three of the major credit agencies reflect a totally different payment history in regards to my student loans, however, one of t he agencies have no reports of late student payments the entire duration of the loan. 
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act : The list of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 U.S.C 1681.
