Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Equifax, Experian and Transunion about the incorrect reporting from XXXX and none of them corrected the obviously incorrect payment information, nor updated the incorrect reporting information from XXXX. 

After multiple disputes, the information was sent back as verified. It was obvious the investigation was not conducted by Equifax, Experian or Transunion. They refused to provide the information that they gathered but kept the reporting as verified. 

Both XXXX and the credit bureaus instructed me to contact one another to change the record. For the last year and a half the record was not updated correctly. 

I've suffered damages from this inaccurate, incomplete and erroneous information that was reported for so long. I have lost job offers with the police department, I've been charged astronomical amounts of interest on credit and denied opportunities that would enhance my families quality of life. 

I am seeking for this account to be REMOVED after all the damage I've incurred and/or monetary compensation for each month this account was reported incorrecting discrediting my credibility.
