Complaint:
Regardless of the multiple written requests, the ITEMS listed below are still reporting on my credit report which is a violation of FCRA.

Complaint:
The company XXXX XXXX has been attempting to collect a debt from a credit card I obtained when I was unmarried. I worked as a bartender and lost my job and became behind on all bills during Covid-19. They served my husband with the court documents when I wasn't home. The credit limit for the card was {$3000.00} and they are requesting I pay {$4200.00} because of late fees, etc. They have submitted a judgement to try to hold my husband accountable for this debt as I got married in XXXX of 2020. We had a mediation and the company did not accept my lump sum offer of {$1500.00}. They are willing to settle for {$2900.00} ( after supposedly speaking with their client XXXX XXXX ). They did not notify me that they had declined my lump sum offer. They also stated I could make payments for the total amount {$4200.00} with no negotiation. I have been settling other debt with companies for less than half of what I owe. They again, declined my offer. The website makes you agree to certain terms and conditions before you can log in to see your account. They submit paperwork with XXXX XXXX listed but they clearly bought this debt and are trying to get as much as they can, in the most incessant ways. The terms and conditions aren't listed. Their business practice is aggressive, unethical and shameful.

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I am following up on an issue with XXXX, a XXXX loan provider. I was working on my XXXX. and a student in school. XXXX kept sending me your letters, and bills and they were calling me that I had to pay them back from XXXX My university confirmed I was in school and working on my XXXX XXXX  kept billing me. The vice president of my university and I called XXXX and it was cleared up. It took many months and over XXXX hours of discussion between XXXX and XXXX XXXX  to finally get XXXX 's misinformation finally got it settled. 
An issue with XXXX came up again in XX/XX/XXXX. I began getting calls from XXXX that XXXX XXXX payments were due. I was still attending my graduate program. I understand that post-graduation, graduates have a six-month grace period. This would be estimated from XXXX XXXX XXXX at which time I was scheduled to complete my program and graduate. I communicated this information to XXXX representatives, which was ignored. 
XXXX  representatives continued to call and bill me demanding pay even though I was in school and later within the grace period. I contacted my lawyer and despite many communications and documents showing their error with the repayment period, XXXX continued to send me emails and bills of past due payments. They also reported them to credit bureaus the mis information. The bills show overdue payments even though I am in the grace period. I have consolidated all my student loans however XXXX refuses to correct the credit bureau reporting errors. 

My credit report is significant for XXXX, which I qualify as a XXXX XXXX XXXX I am requesting to remove the late payment reports from XXXX as soon as possible to ensure my credit is restored so it does not affect future XXXX or other credit concerns. 
Kindly confirm this will be corrected at your earliest convenience. I am attaching previous documents demonstrating the reporting error to my credit report. On a related note, XXXX sent a letter with a return address stating the " Department of Education. '' The letter stated I could not consolidate my loan because I had a past due payments balance with XXXX. I learned that the letter was not from the Department of Education it was from XXXX which is XXXX XXXX  affiliate. This is clearly fraudulent misinformation and their unwillingness to correct their errors, is a serious concern. 

I went back to my employer to let them know and they told me to file a report with the CFPB. I filed a complaint to get my loans consolidated and report XXXX XXXX bad-faith communication/ practice. I'm concerned as they may be reporting overdue payments to the credit bureaus which is untrue. They are stating I owe {$840.00} and other fees that are past due but am still in the grace period. I hope to clear this misinformation that is affecting my credit from the misreporting by XXXX XXXX  reports removed from my credit reports.

Complaint:
CC : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) CC : South Carolina Attorney General ( Complaint Filed ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) XXXX : Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) CC : Experian, XXXX, XXXX Dear XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ), I am writing to dispute the charge-off that appears on my credit report for account XXXX. I believe that this charge-off was the result of multiple violations of federal law, including the Uninformed Decision Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1601 ( a ), the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law ( 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( g ) ( 2 ), and the Adequate Notice Law ( 1643 of 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( k ). Therefore, I am requesting that it be removed from my credit report. 

Firstly, I was not properly informed of my rights and responsibilities under the Uninformed Decision Law. This law requires that creditors provide consumers with certain information, including the cost of credit and the consequences of non-payment, before they can legally charge off an account. I believe that I did not receive adequate information regarding my rights and responsibilities, and as a result, I made an uninformed decision. Such notice may be given to a cardholder by printing the notice on any credit card or honest on each periodic statement of account issued to the cardholder or by any other means reasonably assuring the receipt thereof by the card holder. 

Secondly, I have not received any documentation from the creditor showing that I owe the debt in question, which is a violation of the Lack of Evidence of Indebtedness Law. I am therefore unable to verify the accuracy of the charge-off. The only evidence of this debt was the agreement but the agreement, but that agreement was null and void because I made an uninformed decision, I did not understand this agreement and it was not clear and conspicuous. 

Lastly, I do not believe that I received adequate notice from the creditor regarding the status of the account, which is a violation of the Adequate Notice Law. I did not receive any communication or notification from the creditor regarding the impending charge-off, and I was not given an opportunity to rectify the situation before the charge-off occurred. 
Given these violations of federal law, I request that you investigate this charge-off and provide me with a detailed explanation of why it was reported. If it was indeed the result of violations of federal law, I ask that you remove it from my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this issue as soon as possible. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
