I disputed with Equifax and answered my own questions correctly but could n't dispute because it said I answered them wrong. I think I know about my own history. I disputed with XXXX but they have yet to even acknowledge my dispute- the information is either not an account of mine because I have n't had an active cell phone in my name in years or is time barred for reporting purposes/legal ramifications. The company, XXXX XXXX itself withdrew the collection and sent back to whatever company ( XXXX? ) that it bought the debt from. Yet the damage has been done to my score - on XXXX I lost XXXX points! Unbelievable that people -with no actual proof -can damage someone 's credit reputation. Good job credit bureaus!
