Consumer Narrative
I am accusing Equifax of fraud. Equifax has deliberately removed three XXXX student loan accounts that were in good standing and closed in XX/XX/XXXX. These accounts were to be on the credit report until XX/XX/XXXX, thus Equifax violated its own regulations. Also, Equifax fails to give an explanation for the deletion. In addition, Equifax reports payment history information in a misleading manner, such as high balance amount running from year to year or a series of years without change. A credit reporting representative admitted that the early removal of satisfactory accounts negatively impacts a consumer 's credit score. I have been trying to resolve my disputes with the agency since XX/XX/XXXX to no avail.
