Complaint:
Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX is furnishing inaccurate and incorrect information to the consumer reporting agencies. 
The reporting of such inaccurate information has caused severe damage to my character, my reputation, my general mode of living and my ability to obtain credit for personal and house purposes. 
You and your inaccurate reporting have damaged my livelihood. 

As Defined by The IRS Even if you didn't receive a Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as gross income on your tax return. 

The IRS Clearly defines a charge off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes your reporting of this account inaccurate! 

By Definition The IRS Clearly says a Cancelled debt or Charge off is Income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate. 
15 USC 1681 s-2 Says Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX is a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency. 
Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX IS PROHIBITED BY LAW to furnish inaccurate information. I demand Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX to Cease and Desist the reporting of incorrect/ inaccurate information immediately.

Complaint:
XXXX, I financed the purchase of a couch financed through Fortiva from XXXX XXXX XXXX furniture for almost {$1400.00}. The couch wasn't delivered to me until XXXX.

In XXXX, XXXX XXXX came took the couch because they didn't have the color I ordered in stock.

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: COLLECTION SERVICES OF ATHENS, INC.
State: GA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
On or about XX/XX/2022, I was notified through a credit monitoring agency that an account was submitted as a collection account by CSA of XXXX in the amount of {$100.00}. I disputed this account as not belonging to me. Within a few days, I was notified the account was verified. In an attempt to narrow down how and who this account belonged to, I reached out the collection agency. I spoke with XXXX, A representative at CSA. XXXX of CSA advised the account belonged to my minor son. I requested a copy of documents indicating I signed as a guarantor, original creditor, and an itemized statement. 

The collection company advised they did not have the requested information except the name of the original creditor. CSA was unable to provide me any information for the original creditor except the name and amount. I asked to explain how they received my order to receive my information or my sons, the agency was unable to provide the information. I researched the original medical creditor on my own. I was then advised, not only did I not owe any bills for myself or my son, the medical creditor advised they never used this collection agency. I was advised medical accounts for myself and my were paid in full and never submitted to any collection agency. 

The XXXX bureau should not have been able to verify this account as belonging to me without violating HIPPA rights for both my son and myself. I spoke with an agent named XXXX, at XXXX on XX/XX/2022 to determine what methods XXXX used to verify the account belonged the account belonged to me. XXXX advised me that the methods used was simply calling the creditor to determine if the SSN and DOB were correct. XXXX advised XXXX doesnt request supporting information from creditors to verify accounts. XXXX advised if I wanted to dispute further, I would need to file a police report or file a complaint with FTCA.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act XXXX Account XXXX ( old XXXX XXXX loan that is closed ) & XXXX which is XXXX on experian has violated my rights. 

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A section 2. States consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

15 U.S.C 1666B A creditor may not treat a payment a credit account under open end consumer credit plan as a late payments Ive had many troubles with Experian improperly or inaccurately documenting my credit report once I became aware of my report with experian. Due to their negligence and inconsistencies and reporting its affected me greatly when applying for credit. Upon checking my reporting it was riddled with so many errors. I send disputes electronically and state what Im disputing has been verified? Verified by what and whom? Its MY credit report about ME. I show them docs to counter the inconsistencies and without human interaction or real investigation I get abysmal results. I submitted an attachment showing various inconsistencies. 
Example 1 A & B show my new car loan with XXXX ( which has reported many inaccuracies in conjunction with experian ) I started my loan XX/XX/2021 paid on time but they messed up the loan process. So it shows two payments and what experian is reporting is my loan started XXXX and only one payment to account on wrong month. Due to the XXXX mix up my loan is was redone in XXXX. Just to further make my point the information experian is producing with XXXX is terrible. 

Example 2 A & B is experian taking a charge off and RE-AGING the closed file which is illegal and entire account needs to be removed immediately Example 3 A, B, C is my old loan with XXXX that shows late payments on my account. Which I never had a late payment. I show pictures of the times paid which was less than 30 days and was agreed upon with customer service at XXXX. Also I never received a correspondence or inferred through conversation with XXXX that my credit report would ever be affected when I made payment plans during the COVID pandemic which Im pretty sure the CARES act made sure of that

I noticed a renewel charge for XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$210.00} charged to my card on XX/XX/XXXX. I have not been to XXXX XXXX in over a year and did not authorize any renewal services. I was unable to get through to XXXX XXXX, so I disputed the charge on my American Express portal page. American Express sent me an automated response saying they would not reverse the charge. I have never had this happen with any other reputable credit card. American Express should reverse the charge if I do not recognize it, especially since it is some renewal service charge, I did not even go out and purchase anything. It's not like this is for some TV I just bought, or an online purchase.
