Credit Report

I am lost. Need some understanding.

 

Equifax removed 90% of my accounts and added an old collection back to my report. My report looks like I barely have any credit history. I have been working on my credit for the last year or so. What is that about? Can someone explain?

 

There were 4 collections that were two years old.

 

Open accounts - 8 student loans that were in good standing ( currently making payments). And some credit cards that are 6 months or older.

 

And quite of bit of closed accounts.

Re: Credit Report

Speculation based on no data provided. Account removed is a closed account ~10 years old from closed date?

Re: Credit Report

If current/active accounts are missing, it may be a split file.  Best bet is to call Equifax to have them investigate and correct.  If you have a copy of a recent, complete EQ report, it'd be helpful.  You're also going need a lot of patience. 

 

*Also speculation based on limited info.

Most likely split, or software related. Another DP the other day, solved with phone call.

Okay, and so now those accounts are missing but an old collection was re-inserted?
