Complaint:
Subject : Dispute and Resolution Request Incorrect Reporting by Credit Reporting Agencies for XXXX XXXX XXXX : Personal Loan ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally file a dispute and resolution request regarding inaccurate reporting by credit reporting agencies, specifically related to a debt cancellation event supported by a 1099-C Form. This dispute centers around an account for which I have received a 1099-C Form for the cancellation of debt from the bank that identifies itself as the loan servicer. However, the outstanding balance on this account has not been correctly reported as XXXX XXXX despite the debt discharge. 

Account Information : Company : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Holder Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : Personal Loan ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX Date of 1099-C Form : XX/XX/2023 The issuance of the 1099-C Form by the bank that claims to be the loan servicer signifies the cancellation of the debt associated with the aforementioned account. However, credit reporting agencies have not accurately reflected this significant event in their reporting. I believe that these agencies need to demonstrate a good faith effort to display the XXXX balance as the debt has been duly discharged. 

Enclosed with this complaint is a photocopy of the 1099-C Form for your reference. It provides clear evidence of the cancellation of debt associated with the account in question. Therefore, I respectfully request that the CFPB intervene to facilitate the following resolution : Resolution Request : 1. Immediate Removal or Correction of Reporting : Credit reporting agencies must promptly remove or correct the reporting of the account in question to accurately reflect a XXXX balance, consistent with the debt discharge as indicated on the 1099-C Form.

2. Cease Negative Reporting : Credit reporting agencies should cease any negative reporting associated with the XXXX debt, including but not limited to late payments, defaults, or other derogatory remarks related to this account. 

3. Confirmation of Corrected Reporting : Credit reporting agencies must provide written confirmation to me within 30 days of receiving this dispute and resolution request, affirming that the account has been accurately reported with a XXXX balance and that negative reporting has ceased. 

I firmly believe that this dispute and resolution request will lead to a fair and accurate resolution of this matter. I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this issue and ensure that the credit reporting agencies comply with the applicable regulations and guidelines governing accurate and fair credit reporting. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a swift and accurate resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
