I have a couple different accounts listed and honestly I’m wondering if they are duplicates? The amounts are so similar, even the dates are similar and they’re bothreporting very negatively. BUT I’m not sure and I’m afraid to ask them because I’m still within SOL and don’t want to annoy them or make them “notice” me and sue (I haven’t been contacted by them in a while). Any advice? Thanks!

I'd get more info first. Try pulling your reports directly from each CRA and you may be able to piece together a full acct. number, addresses, dates, etc. by which to compare.
They are related. There's other posts in here about them.
