Consumer Narrative
I have an entry on my credit file which doesn't belong to me with Equifax for a closed account with an actual payment of {$1700.00}, opened on XX/XX/XXXX being reported by Missouri Higher Educ Loan Auth on XX/XX/XXXX ( account number XXXX ). I sent a dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX challenging the accuracy, compliance and reportability of this entry. I never received any form of correspondence from Equifax or Missouri Higher Educ Loan Auth addressing my dispute and they failed to provide a resolution for the inaccurate reporting on my credit file. I sent a follow up letter on XX/XX/XXXX informing them that Equifax and Missouri Higher Educ Loan Auth has failed to provide me with copies of any documentation associated with this account, bearing my signature within the 30 days allotted to complete an investigation plus the extended 15-day period.
