Equifax Reporting Discrepency..anyone with the same problem?

[Anonymous]

ok, i talked to an EQ rep like ten mintues ago and she told me that a particular collection account was removed from my report. so, i purchased an updated credit report on the EQ website. to my surprise, this account was still being reported and with the past due amount. so, i called them back and talked to a different rep and she said the same thing..."that it wasn't being reported." so, i had her send me an updated report via the mail. anyone had the same problems? what should i do? if i would purchase an EQ report through myfico.com would it be the same one i got through EQ (with the account still being rerported) or would be the one with the account removed?

Maybe you need to wait until the next business day to see the change on your end.

michael, i'll just wait and see when i receive my updated report. i think you're right. their system hasn't been updated because when i called the first time i used an old confirmation number (7/20) and the rep said that it was being investigated. then, i told her that when i called last week (7/24) the rep said it had been removed. now, after i purchased another credit report on their website. which still had the listing. so, i called back and gave the confirmation number (8/03) of the report i just purchased and she said that its not listed. so, that's what confused me but yeah i'll just wait and see.
