Over the past few years, I've made a point of checking my credit history with the three major Credit Reporting Agencies (CRAs). I began doing this after I was denied credit by a bank for overdraft protection on a checking account. While I was able to correct an error on the report from the CRA that originally provided that information, I subsequently noticed that my other two reports contained slightly different information about this account. Its complicated by the fact that the original debt was to a bank that was taken over by another bank and I was not able to pay at the time I received a collection summons in the mail from a collection agency. A few months later, though, I was able to pay and sent off payment, but this "paid chargeoff" was only placed on one CRA report. I've disputed this with the other two CRAs, but both inform me that, after verifying the information, they believe it to be correct even though it contradicts information reported to the third CRA. Any advice?
