I am in dire need of your help. My credit was ruined as a result of suffering from " HURRICANE XXXX '' in XXXX XXXX. The Flood insurance only reimbursed me {$23000.00}. after I had submitted all the paid receipts for work I had to have done on my house and all of the losses that occurred, totally over {$120000.00}. ( my house still is not finished, because I ran out of money ) By XXXX XXXX my22.5 year marriage ended, & mostly due to the financial impact from the Flood insurance. So now I am divorced & living in an unfinished house that I had put a tremendous amour of money in to repair & it 's not even worth what we paid for it, {$560000.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. I desperately need to re-fi but my credit is not good enough. My mortgage ( {$380000.00}. ) is at 4.5 % & a XXXX ( {$53000.00} ) at 6.99 %. If things do n't get better I will lose my house. 
I have worked very hard at cleaning up my credit but I just do n't seem to get a head because of things I can not control or understand. There are numerous problems with this CREDIT REPORTING SYSTEM, but for now I am only addressing this XXXX instance. 
I subscribe to XXXX credit reporting agencies on line, XXXX is " XXXX '' & the other is " EQUIFAX ''. I watch my credit scores & the reports closely & earlier in XXXX according to EQUIFAX MY SCORE WAS # XXXX & on " XXXX '' it was # XXXX, under EQUIFAX. WHY ALL THE DIFFERENT SCORES FROM THE SAME PLACES IS BEYOND ME, & VERY DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH, NEVER KNOWING WHAT IS CORRECT! ( but that 's a different topic ) XXXX of the necessary things I need to do is establish NEW CREDIT. I looked up & found that with my scores I would be able to acquire a CREDIT CARD from XXXX XXXX. I applied & to my surprise I GOT REJECTED! I got rejected because when XXXX XXXX inquired about my score FROM EQUIFAX, THEY REPORTED MY SCORE AS XXXX! I NEVER WOULD HAVE APPLIED IF I SUSPECTED THAT THEY WOULD REPRT SUCH A DIFFERENT SCORE THAN THE ONE THE GAVE ME! I called EQUIFAX, & explained what happened & they did n't know why. They knew my score was higher than XXXX but they did n't know why they told XXXX XXXX it was so low. Then they gave me a phone # to tell XXXX XXXX THAT EQUIFAX MADE A XXXX & THAT XXXX XXXX COULD CALL & VERIFY THAT IT WAS HIGHER. XXXX XXXX, thought I was stupid & told me that they were not going to call EQUIFAX! 
And the BEST PART, AFTER I WAS REJECTED, EQUIFAX LOWER MY SCORE FOR TRYING TO GET A CREDIT CARD. 
I have attached all the pertentant documentation. Thank you for your help. I look forward to hearing from you! XXXX
