State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate information contained in my Credit Report - XXXX, date XXXX. Upon reviewing my Equifax credit report, I discovered multiple issues regarding the accuracy of the account for the XXXX listing. There are multiple inaccuracies, to include inaccuracies regarding the reason for transferring the account, the date of account transfer, the company to which the account was transferred to, the accuracy of the account payment history status, and possible duplicative entries- XXXX and the Dept of Ed reporting the same information and account balance on the same dates. I am requesting that Equifax investigate and verify the items outlined below. 

I have attempted to address these items in previous disputes and had to contact the CFPB for further support. These issues are unfairly harming my credit score and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which ensures that credit reports contain only accurate, complete, and verifiable information.
