Complaint narrative:
I disputed the account on my credit report for XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/24 and Equifax refuses to remove it from my report. It's been over 7 years. Its actually been 7 years and 23 days to be exact. XXXX website says Most negative information generally stays on credit reports for 7 years. They are in violation of their own written statements! XXXX XXXX has continued to falsely report on this account to keep it active. No other company has done that to me. Ive previously disputed incorrect information being reported by XXXX XXXX. Equifax has done nothing to protect the consumer. Im not sure what monetary agreement XXXX XXXX and Equifax have between the XXXX of them, that makes Equifax do this. The other bureaus have removed it, due to the 7 year history. Equifax is intent on keeping this negative, false information following me. Its not right and the account should be removed!
