There is an account on my credit report that I have disputed several times with Equifax. XXXX and XXXX have deleted the item from my credit report because it is past the statute of limitations. However Equifax persists to have the item remain on my credit report. I do n't know how long they plan on reporting it, however, at this point I can not afford to wait. I have loans pending and this item is holding me back. The item is a dismissed Bankruptcy from 2007 ( Case No. XXXX ). From all of my research this item is supposed to be removed 7 years from the filing date. We are now at over XXXX years!!
