1 collection reporting different on all 3 bureaus. How to attack??

Here is how the same one collection account is reporting on each of the 3 bureaus:

 

 

EQUIFAX

Account name: Credit Prot Assoc

Acct #: 1430XXXXX

Acct type: collection acct

Balance: $607

Date Opened: 10-1-07

Acct Status: Closed

Payment Status: Unpaid

 

TRANS UNION

Account Name: Credit Protect Assoc

Acct #: 1430XXXXXX

Account Type: Collection Acct

Account Balance: $607

Date Opened: 10-27-07

Account Status: Open

 

EXPERIAN

Account Name: Credit Protec Assoc

Acct #: 1430XXXX

Account Type: Collection Acct

Balance: (nothing listed)

Date Opened: 10-1-07

Acct status: Closed

Payment status: paid; was a collection account

 

All 3 show something different! I never paid this (old Mediacomm cable acct). And on the one that’s closed, and still showing a balance, isn’t that not right?

 

What would you guys do if this was reported so differently on each of your 3 reports??

I would send a direct dispute to the creditor. There is a blue sticky here on the rebuilding forum that our other wonderful Community Leader Guiness56 had provided for everyone to use Smiley Happy
