Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Reinserted previously deleted info
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Paid/satisfied judgment was investigated and deleted about XXXX years ago but reinserted XXXX months ago. Several attempts have been made to correct situation. I was told by Equifax that I needed an attorney to be given proof of previous investigation records that reflect claim. I have spoken with several employees of company that informed me they were all supervisors and there in no higher point of escalation. 

There have been trade lines deleted from my credit report with perfect payment history which has subsequently lowered my credit score. XXXX has opened their own investigation to determine why this has occurred. 

My XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX care loan with excellent payment history has been marked " not reported '' for duration of loan. The loan has perfect payment history and was paid in full. This is affecting my credit score. 

I have paid off XXXX car loans with XXXX credit union since XXXX and the report only reflects XXXX car loan. 

All of my student loans have been marked as payments " not reported '' for the entire XXXX month history after speaking with XXXX XXXX approximately XXXX weeks ago. I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX days ago and was informed that the items would be investigated but they are not reflecting investigation status on my report and I have been blocked from online disputing. 

Many of my revolving accounts are reflecting inaccurate payment history. The payment history was deleted and marked as " no history available '' XXXX hours after speaking with XXXX XXXX. 

It would appear that I am disputing inaccuracies with this credit bureau every other week and my credit score fluctuates XXXX-XXXX points from week to week and has rendered my creditors unable to make lending decisions. I am constantly disputing old information that should not be reflected on my credit report. Each time I am told to open a new dispute and wait an additional XXXX days.

I am being denied a loan because of a " Dispute '' Status on my credit report. It was removed by the other XXXX Credit Reporting Agencies. 
XXXX has stated they are working to remove this. 
The remark is false. XXXX failed to close my account as requested and charged me fees for years without contacting me. They admitted fault and paid all the fees. It was resolved. XXXX promised they would remove this from my credit about ten years ago. My report shows it was in dispute and XXXX settled for less than the owed amount. I never did anything wrong. They are now " working on it '' again. 
This needs to be removed from my report. The fact that it only on XXXX report, shows there is a clear error.

Complaint narrative:
I filed bankruptcy and it has been discharged, and am continuing paying my mortgage on time -- it is current. But SETERUS does not send me statements and nor can I download them. When I make payments to them, I have no idea about my new balance, etc. Providing a customer with a statement does not constitute a request for payment. My second mortgage lender, XXXX, provides me statements without payment request, so I know it is possible. I do not understand why SETERUS does not, but at this point I feel it is unlawful to not inform existing mortgage holders of balances, etc after payment is received. They will not talk to me over the phone and insists they can only speak with my lawyer. Again, my bankruptcy has been discharged.
