Complaint:
Black Friday Furniture purchase. Apparently my billing cycle ended same day of purchase with payment due on the XXXX of the next month. I did not receive statement until after due date only to be charged card security, late fee and interest. Advertising on Black Friday sale states interest free on all purchases over XXXX. My ticket was XXXX. Creditor lowers credit limit resulting in being put over new credit limit. 

So just to recap, purchase, payment due, lowered credit limit and interest on advertised sale in 26 days. 

I submit complaint with them through email, they refund partially but still have fees due and minimum payment XXXX $ for the next month plus interest. I make a payment based on what I can afford and the charge more fees, interest etc.

Complaint:
This company continues to report negative and derogatory information disregarding the fact that I already had the account transferred and rehabilitated by XXXX in which I am paying XXXX a month due to me being on XXXX. They continue to falsely abuse the law and continuously disregard any information and mail that I send them. I have called them on the phone and they ask me to send a letter with information they are the ones illegally reporting the information continuously to XXXX and XXXX. XX/XX/2012 was the date the loan was open I was advised the statue of limitations doesn't apply to certain loans but it is already been 7 years reporting negative. The point I am trying to make is that I already did my part by rehabilitating the loan and allowing it to get transferred to XXXX it was with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I did what they told me to do so I can get it removed from my credit and the only one that is blatantly disregarding the law is Great Lakes XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WI XXXX they continue to report the information and they already know that it should not be reported due to the fact that I have rehabilitated my loan. The keep finding ways to continue reporting information that is not true and is incorrect. I'm getting to the point where I want to sue them in open court for not following the law and also not caring it is also keeping me from getting a home from my family in which they do not care. Mental anguish is something that I am affected by this horrible situation and I intend to follow suit if it is not removed within the next 7 days. I am not going to allow this to happen to me by this company.

This is a medical collection that is being reported illegally. No PHI release form has been provided. this is violating my privacy and HIPPA Law. My latest request was completely ignored.

They are now reporting me to credit bureaus and my XXXX score has been reduced. I have always had outstanding credit and never had a dispute like this with any credit card company or mortgage lender.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
This company is violating the Fair credit reporting act by improperly using my credit reports for the accounts stated in the attached dispute letter. 

Those accounts that are being reported are charged off/canceled debt and because they are canceled/charged off, this is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS Publication. The IRS Clearly defines a charge off/cancelled debt as Gross or Ordinary income, and INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON A CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes the reporting of this information inaccurate. Furthermore I was NOT provided with ANY 1099c copies which violates the IRS. A screenshot from the IRS website has been provided. As your company know it is against the law to report any information not proven accurate pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I demand that you provide me with concrete evidence of my obligation to said account. Please be aware all negative remarks found on my credit report is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA when your company can not furnish the validity of the remark. I am not in dispute of the ownership of the accounts so there is no need to " verify '' it, but if your company insists on " verification '' then I request that you mail me a copy of the complete consumer file that you maintain concerning me after you act on this dispute. Note, the term file means all of the information on [ me ] and retained by [ you ] regardless of how the information is stored. 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( g ). Therefore, it is unlawful to send me a partial disclosure and not the entire file. If you verify or deem the item of information that I disputed above as accurate and complete, then I request a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy or completeness of the information including the business name and address of any furnisher contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, pursuant to the provisions of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), in no later than fifteen ( 15 ) days after making such determination. See 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ).

Complaint:
This debt was sold from XXXX  XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX who sold the debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I know this because I called XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX to make the payment, who sent me to XXXX, who told me they did not have this account with me, which explains why I never received any collection activity from them. They sent me to XXXX XXXX XXXX. This debt was paid in full to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2001. This is not an OPEN account with XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX has no right to have this account listed on my credit report which is exactly why NONE OF THE INFORMATION MATCHES ACROSS AGENCIES. Yet all 3 National Credit Reporting Agencies XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Equifax ) continue to ignore my disputes and continue to mark it as verified as accurate. When, in reality, they can not even accurately or LEGALLY VALIDATE the account. I have reported this account multiple times and the investigation has never yielded true and accurate results. Therefore, we are well beyond the 30 day limit that the reporting agencies have to investigate, and I demand it be removed immediately! The inaccuracy of this account has affected my ability to get a credit card, a loan, a mortgage, and it is negatively affecting my military security clearance!

I've recently reach out to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2021 for the XXXX time about verifications of account number XXXX thats reporting on my credit reports. I provided my social security number and account number but the XXXX stated he was unable to find or verify that account.

Please send me your verification method and original signed contract in 10 days. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for credit bureaus reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 
Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the account.

Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2017, I ( XXXX XXXX ) paid an amount to Ford Motor credit to settle my loan. My vehicle was repossessed, and there was a large deficiency balance owing. We came to an agreement on an amount, I do not recall the exact amount, but it was around $ XXXX I was told if I paid this amount, my loan would be considered paid in full. I did this, they gave me a letter stating I owed them no further money that I will attach- and my loan reports as Paid in full to the credit bureaus. Last week, XXXX XXXX and myself received a notice from the IRS stating we failed to file a 1099C for forgiven debt. We had no idea this was a requirement, or that more monies would be owed to the IRS if we paid less than the actual amount on our loan. Ford Motor Company did not do their diligence as a company to inform the consumer there would be adverse affects and more money to pay if an agreement was made to pay less. We were told this was resolved. No further obligations. Now we are being charged {$3400.00} in back taxes for not filing the 1099C- Ford should have communicated this requirement to us, they did not. We want a letter from ford waiving the 1099C- as this was not properly disclosed.
