I placed yet another dispute as of XX/XX/XXXX because now I am being denied a credit card based on this incorrect information. I will include the denial letter from the credit card company stating Experian is the bureau they reviewed, as well as the only negative impact on my credit report being this XXXX incorrect line from XXXX. XXXX acknowledged they messed up rolling over my lease amount into my new car loan, and removed it from both XXXX  and XXXX. Experian has also been updating dates and it shows current, when XXXX  and XXXX  removed this in XXXX, XXXX  years ago! This is fraudulent and negatively impacting my life. I also see that lawsuits have been brought forth regarding Experian not properly investigating disputes and not removing correctly, just as I am experiencing now.
