2 Names but Same SS on Equifax

Curious as to whether or not anyone else has gone through this.

We went through a bankruptcy and were discharged almost two years ago. Have been straightening our information out on the credit bureaus. After the bk, though the debts are discharged, a lot of them don't add the line "discharged in bankruptcy" so just adding that line to most of my entries raised my credit score over 75 points total.

What I found was, a GREAT deal of inaccuracy in my equifax as so far, I have not been able to correct it. What it came down to was this.

Without using real names of course..
I am listed TWICE under the same social security number but two different accounts..

So I am John Doe.
My first one is listed as John Doe 5th
The second is listed as Johnathan Doe

So now, one has a bit of good credit that we have established and it doesn't show up in a real estate report. The second name has all my bad stuff in it which I have never been able to edit since my bankruptcy. So its killing my score. I mean to the tune of 75 points lower than the other 2 reporting agencies.

This not only is myself, but they have my wife split into two different accounts as well.

I have tried endless faxing, they lost the information twice. I have mailed physical proof to consolidate these two accounts into one. Nothing. I have kept records. Nothing. Each time they require 30 days in which they can fix the issue.

So sorry for the long post. My questions are, has anyone dealt with a situation like this? Is it time to get a lawyer involved? What are some recourses. It is getting tiring frankly.

Also, does anyone have a good 3 report agency that they can literally track credit reports with? I have had all 3 at the tune of $60 a month for my wife and I to monitor and dispute, but I found Equifaxs to be uselss. They charge extra just for a fico score. I have also found most programs to be biased to just one credit agency, I would like to find one monitoring all three.

Thanks for any input.
