I accepted the settlement agreement, signed the contract and paid the XXXX in full on XX/XX/2023. I even contacted Exeter via customer support email to make sure the correct reporting would be updated to the account by the next reporting which should have been XX/XX/2023, the representative assured me that the account balance would be updated to XXXX and the account would be reported as closed, she also sent me a receipt via email to confirm they received my payment. I see on my XX/XX/2023 report that Exeter finance reported to XXXX the incorrect balance of XXXX and an incorrect charge off reporting. That is completely against our settlement agreement and this is a clear violation of my rights to accuracy, privacy, and fairness and inaccuracies on a credit report can hurt my opportunity at credit. The actual balance I owe is XXXX according to the settlement agreement, the XXXX was paid in full on XX/XX/2023, the account is supposed to be reported as closed and paid.

Now, I have emailed and chatted with your rude customer service reps and emailed this so called dispute team more times then I can count asking for whatever information you used to deny my disputes and I have yet to receive any of the documents. I have contacted the merchants explaining the situation to them and they have told me that current never even tried to contact them about any disputes I filed. Every merchant advised me to have currents dispute team call them while Im on the phone so that I would know that they did in fact verify that all the charges I disputed were fraudulent, but obviously theres no way I can do that when you people wont even return phone calls but just go ahead a deny disputes XXXX after they were filed and then not give the customer the documents you used to deny the claims. 
Someone needs to reopen my closed denied disputes and contact the XXXX merchant so that I can get my money back asap!
