Account Number: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 Credit Grantor '', whereas XXXX and XXXX indicate " Canceled by credit grantor. '' Although similar, the wording could impact how the account status is interpreted and might affect your credit score. 
Date of Last Activity : Equifax shows the date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX and XXXX show XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, respectively. This is a significant inconsistency, as the last activity date should be the same across all three bureaus.

This discrepancy in records may impact the interpretation of your payment history. 
Inconsistencies in Payment Dates ( XXXX and XXXX ) : Although the last payment date is the same between XXXX and XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), Equifax shows a different date ( XX/XX/XXXX ). Even though its a minor difference, the inconsistency in dates can be a reason to raise a complaint.
