I have filed a request with Equifax multiple times with respect to the removal of a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy from my record. XXXX and XXXX have already removed the item. However, despite my repeated efforts, Equifax continues to issue a investigative response that is irrelevant to the basis of my dispute and request. It is my position that, for whatever reason, Equifax ( i ) is not reading the specifics of my dispute and ( ii ) is improperly servicing my account, and I am suffering irreparable damage as a result. Indeed, they are incorrect for not XXXX but XXXX reasons ( i ) it is my understanding that, while this type of item may legally remain on my credit report for up to 10 years, it is typically removed after XXXX and ( ii ) I DID NOT actually go through with the bankruptcy. The item in question was dismissed by the court on XXXX XXXX, 2007 BECAUSE I did not proceed with the bankruptcy after filing the initial paperwork. As I have explained to, and provided documentation of to, Equifax on multiple occasions, after filing for Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy, I sought the advice of legal counsel who explained that ( i ) I did not need to file and ( ii ) a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy was not the appropriate mechanism to address my concerns and was unwarranted. I, thereafter, decided NOT to proceed with the bankruptcy, and it was dismissed, meaning that ( i ) my creditors were NEVER notified, NO workout was arranged, NO discharge of any debts was applied and ( ii ) that I continued to service my bills. 

Equifax continues to issue me a response letter with their investigative findings simply stating that they have reviewed the information and confirmed that it was mine.
