XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX, CA XXXX XX/XX/2023 To whom it may concern : Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Subject : Dispute of Charge-Off [ XXXX  ( XXXX ) - ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX  - XXXX XXXX ] Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the charge-off listed on my credit report for [ XXXX ( XXXX ) - ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX  - XXXX XXXX ]. I have carefully reviewed my credit report, and I believe that this information is inaccurate and misleading. I kindly request that you investigate and remove the charge-off from my credit report as it is negatively impacting my creditworthiness. 

I am disputing the charge-off for the following reasons : 1. Lack of Validity : The information regarding this charge-off has not been properly validated. I have previously requested documentation from the original creditor validating this debt, but they have failed to provide adequate proof of ownership and verification.

2. Inaccurate Reporting : I have identified discrepancies in the reported dates, amounts, and details associated with this charge-off. I have supporting evidence, including bank statements and correspondence, which contradict the information on my credit report.

Based on the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into the accuracy and legitimacy of this charge-off. Please provide me with copies of all documentation supporting the validity of this debt, including the original contract and any subsequent assignment or purchase agreements.

If you are unable to validate the debt within the allotted time frame or find inaccuracies in the reported information, I kindly request that you remove the charge-off from my credit report promptly. I emphasize that I am seeking fair and accurate reporting as mandated by the law.

Enclosed with this letter, please find copies of the relevant documents supporting my dispute, including correspondence with the original creditor and any relevant account statements. I appreciate your attention to this matter and your prompt resolution.

Please provide me with written confirmation once the investigation is complete, along with any updated credit reports reflecting the removal of the charge-off. Additionally, please inform me of any actions you have taken or plan to take regarding this dispute.

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter. I look forward to a swift and favorable resolution.

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Credit Karma, LLC
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Allegedly I opened a XXXX credit card account on XX/XX/XXXX. Both the date ( being exactly XX/XX/XXXX ) and the opening balance ( Only {$6.00} ) are suspicious. I did shop at XXXX on or around this time ; however, I did not knowingly open a new credit card. Furthermore, I have never received a physical card or any other information related to this account. I have never activated such card or used it for any purchases. 

After seeing this negatively impact my credit report, I contacted the merchant directly in XX/XX/XXXX to resolve. I even tried to pay the alleged {$6.00} at that time and was told I could not pay b/c the account was closed. Apart from this incident, I have a stellar credit history and a great income, so paying a {$6.00} balance would never have been an issue for me. However, my only option then was to trust the merchant that this had been resolved. 

I even disputed this account with all 3 credit bureaus at that time. Until last month, all 3 had marked the account as closed. I monitor my credit through Credit Karma which shows the account as closed ( screenshot attached ). However, today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I was declined by XXXX XXXX for a student loan refinancing opportunity due to a negative account. After looking at my Credit Karma report, there we're no negative accounts to speak of and my scores we're excellent : XXXX for XXXX and XXXX for XXXX. Noticing that XXXX was missing, I went directly to XXXX 's website to discover the issue and that's when I saw the negative item from XXXX. 

It appears that the merchant, XXXX, re-opened this closed account as of last month and reported negative history to the credit agencies. The merchant 's neglect in this case has now caused me damage in the area of falsified negative credit reporting resulting in a loss of student loan refinancing.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report.

Company: Choice Recovery, Inc.
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I checked my credit report and a company called Choice Recovery , Inc was on my report. It stated account placed for collection opened XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$1000.00}. The credit bureaus showed the name of this company and the address. I disputed this with XXXX and XXXX, and both marked it as a valid debt. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a certified letter to Choice Recovery, inc. asking for proof of what they are saying I owe them. I used the address that was listed on my credit report by both credit bureaus. I did not receive a response so I sent another certified letter to Choice Recovery , Inc. on XX/XX/XXXX. Today, XX/XX/XXXX I received my 1st certified letter back, which was dated XX/XX/XXXX, stating that it was not deliverable to this address. How can these credit bureaus report this as a valid debt when the address they are reporting is not a deliverable address? I'd like to file a complaint against XXXX, XXXX and Choice Recovery , Inc., as all three agencies have failed to provide any proof of this debt and have violated my consumer rights and have damaged my credit.

I do not want to sound harsh that nor do I want to cause friction, but this place never did any services I came in for a consultation and they showed me around and showed me a sample of what they could do.

If it continues, I am going to file the state of Texas against both as a medical facility and you for collecting practices.

I will not hesitate to write to the State of Texas about this. And to the Federal Government.

Complaint:
My problem has been with BMO Harris Bank. I have paid off my loan over a month ago and they have not sent me my payoff letter. I called and went through the channels and requested it from them. They had deleted my account online so I could not get the letter from their online portal like I am supposed to. So they said they would send me the letter so I could get my title. After a week they sent me what I thought was the letter, I went to my secretary of state and they informed me it was a statement they sent me not a letter. I called back to get an immediate letter sent to me as I needed to get the letter in order to sell my car to the dealership that has it. They said they would send it to me within the day by fax, they still have not. I called back and they said I don't even have a request on record. The people refuse to transfer my call to the correct channels, they keep making promises and don't follow through, I now I have my car at a dealership waiting for a letter that I don't know will ever come.
