XXXX derogatory reports from the state of SC were expunged from my credit report without any problem. Afterward, Equifax decreased my credit score by XXXX points. I had no other changes in my report that would cause this to happen. My credit score should have increased rather than decreased. I tried to talk with someone from Equifax , but the conversation went in circles without being resolved. I also faxed over a letter requesting an answer to explain why an improvement in my credit history would cause my credit score to decrease. I feel that I will need to get a higher authority involved to solve this problem. I feel that I have been discriminated against and my rights are violated.
