My complaint is against the credit bureau Equifax. Several attempts have been made to all three credit bureaus in an attempt to have a negative item removed. Equifax has repeatedly failed to properly investigate my dispute and I have provided more than enough documentation to prove me claim is true and accurate. Had Equifax seriously investigated my claim, they would have found the proof of the error is in the credit report itself. 
In my credit report in the " Closed Account '' section, there is an account with XXXX 's ( XXXX XXXX ). The information states ; ACCOUNT OPEN XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, LAST PAYMENT XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, CLOSED ON XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX acquired the debt at some point and fraudulently re-aged the debt. On the credit report, they have FALSELY reported the following ; Account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), DATE OPEN XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, DATE OF FIRST DELIQUENCY XXXX, DATE OF FIRST MAJOR DELIQUENCY XXXX. 
I received notice from Equifax on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that this account is not reporting on their file. However, in violation of Federal Law FCRA Part ( A ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) they have reinserted this negative item onto my credit report on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. This violation of Federal Law caused my credit score to drop XXXX points. 
Equifax is in violation of several Federal Laws and has neglected to properly investigate my claim. From my understanding of Federal Law, Equifax is obligated to do the following ; Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. 
Consumer reporting agencies may not report outdated negative information. In most cases, a consumer reporting agency may not report negative information that is more than seven years old, or bankruptcies that are more than 10 years old. 
You may seek damages from violators. If a consumer reporting agency, or, in some cases, a user of consumer reports or a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency violates the FCRA, you may be able to sue in state or federal court.
