Credit reporting — EQUIFAX, INC. (OR)

Account terms. My Equifax and XXXX reports are saying that I am utilizing over half of the available credit I have, because they are reporting that XXXX of my cards that have a zero balance, still have the balance prior to my paying them. What 's odd is that right after I paid these XXXX cards off, my credit score reflected as such. Now they are reporting the inaccurate amounts again, and it has caused my credit score to plummet down and cause me to be unable to qualify for a private student loan to finish school. I need this fixed, as soon as possible.
