What happens if a creditor stops reporting to a bureau?

We're in escrow on a property and the lender is using the average of the three scores.
Now, one of the lenders (a local bank) stopped reporting to EQ since November. Both auto + CC. This is problematic because that card is maxed out when the balance has been zero for a month or so now.

I spoke to the loan department last week and they're not very knowledgeable about what to do. I could dispute it but the risk would be Equifax removes that entirely. 

Transunion and Experian are fine. Is there any way to update this somehow, quickly? Rescore might work, but that would involve another pull to a lender that can do a rescore.

@wonton1 Yes there is a way to do this.  The first option below is expensive which would initiated by the lender not the consumer.

The second way is less expensive but the time it takes is longer. Get a copy of your credit report and dispute that trade line with  the credit bureau. Submit with that dispute the proof (a copy of a statement that shows the balance being at zero.)
