I needed a credit report for a state bar application and I chose Experian. Their records were not current in some instances and so I submitted a dispute. This was resolved but the closure dates on XXXX accounts changed from the original date that each creditor had on record to the date of the dispute. I filed a second dispute to correct this issue and the dates merely changed to the date of the new dispute and did not reflect the original date of closure. For XXXX days from XXXX to XXXX I called Experian and the XXXX card companies getting conflicting information and endless blame shifting and stone-walling to correct a simple record-keeping error. The credit card companies also informed me that disputing inaccurate information would harm my appearance of creditworthiness! Experian refused to consider that both XXXX and XXXX had the correct dates and that the card companies had never changed these dates and had consistently reported the correct and original date of closure in all three instances. The changes were happening only at Experian and they gave me conflicting procedures on how to 'change the date back to the original date, ' a problem that only ever existed in their system. The card companies happily offered to send letters to me with the original dates, but could not send an update to Experian because their own records already reflected that they had sent the proper updates, including the original closure dates. There was no change to be made 'in fact ' only in the record keeping of this one reporting agency. Each time I spoke with Experian the procedure for fixing the issue changed. I only wanted accuracy and honesty for the benefit of my bar application. Little did I know I was harming my credit by filing disputes on long since closed and good credit accounts. This is an ongoing Orwellian nightmare, and if it is not soon resolved it may harm my bar application process!
