Account XXXX While I appreciate your response indicating that the information has been verified, I believe there are still significant inaccuracies that require further investigation. Specifically, Date of Last Report : Equifax shows the date of the last report as XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX and XXXX show XX/XX/XXXX. This appears inconsistent, as the date of the last report should be the same across all three bureaus. 
Account Status : Equifax lists the account status as " Account Closed by XXXX XXXX '', whereas XXXX and XXXX indicate " Canceled by XXXX XXXX. '' Although similar, the wording could impact how the account status is interpreted and might affect your credit score.
