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 ![]()
