myFICO reports DOES not match the actual credit bureau report

In my most recent 3B report I found an item under Equifax that is not on the credit report directly from Equifax. Thus, I cannot obviously dispute something that does not exist.

 

That brings up an interesting question, where is myFICO getting their data from? It clearly in my case is NOT from Equifax, so where is it from?

 

Is there a method to have myFICO correct their reporting when it does not match the credit bureau report. Let's be honest, they are generating a score based on information that does not exist.

I would be interested to know if it got resolved as well. I have several times gotten "here's your new score" and I immediately log into equifax to find that they don't match.
