You have exhausted the ordinary FCRA procedures for correcting erroneous information, and they have ignored you. Waiting and hoping will not likely fix this. Document your damages (denied credit, notice of increased rate on existing CC, etc.), file complaint with your AG for their continued collection attempts (verifying with CRA) without validating, and send ITS.
