Credit Limit Discrepancy : o Equifax reports the credit limit as {$0.00}, while XXXX lists {$500.00}. Inconsistencies here should be clarified. 
Last Reported Date : o TransUnion ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and Equifax ( XX/XX/XXXX ) report different last reported dates. If a more recent update exists, this should be corrected. 
Date Last Active : o Different dates are reported for this field : XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), and XX/XX/XXXX ( Equifax ). Only one can be correct.
