Complaint:
I am writing to you with an urgent demand regarding the removal of a charge off from my XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX and a charge off from my XXXX XXXX  account number XXXX from my consumer report. I believe that these accounts are fraudulent, and I am facing extortion, as defined by 18 USC 894, in relation to them. As such, I insist on their immediate removal from my consumer report.

Therefore, it is of utmost importance that this matter is resolved with urgency and efficiency.

I demand that you take the following actions within 4 busi
ness days from the date of this letter : 1. Initiate a thorough investigation into the XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX and the XXXX XXXX  account number XXXX to verify the legitimacy of these accounts and the associated charges. 
2. Remove the charge off status from my consumer report for both accounts immediately.

3. Block any further reporting of these fraudulent accounts.

4. Provide me with written confirmation once the necessary corrections have been made.

Failure to comply with this demand within the specified time frame will leave me with no alternative but to pursue legal action to protect my rights. According to the provisions of 15 USC 1681n, I am entitled to seek damages of {$1000.00} per violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Enclosed with this letter, please find copies of relevant documentation supporting my claims, including any evidence of fraudulent activity. I kindly request that you give careful consideration to this evidence during your investigation.

I expect to receive your written response confirming the removal of these accounts from my consumer report within 4 business days from the date of this letter. You may contact me at the provided phone number or email address to discuss any further information you may require.

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

Complaint:
I am writing to dispute the information reported on my credit report regarding the account with account number XXXX. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), it is explicitly stated that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instruction.

Furthermore, I would like to bring to your attention the violation of 15 U.S.C. 1666b, which prohibits a creditor from treating a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose without a valid reason.

It has come to my attention that Equifax has reported inaccurate information regarding the account in question, which has had a detrimental impact on my credit score and financial well-being. I have not provided written authorization for this account to be reported, and there is no valid reason for the late payment designation. 

I kindly request that you investigate this matter promptly and correct the inaccuracies in my credit report by removing the account XXXX. Please provide written confirmation of this dispute resolution, and ensure that any future reporting complies with federal regulations.

Failure to rectify this situation may result in legal action to protect my rights under the FCRA. I trust that Equifax will address this matter promptly and efficiently, adhering to the legal requirements outlined in the FCRA.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to the swift resolution of this dispute. Please feel free to contact me at [ Your Phone Number XXXX XXXX if you require any further information or clarification.

Complaint:
I closed on my loan with XXXX XXXX  XXXX on XX/XX/2022. Our first payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX. Since we closed, I have been trying to figure out how to make payments to the mortgage company. They've given me contacts to 2 servicing companies but neither of this servicing company has a my loan information. I have not received any correspondence from XXXX XXXX  XXXX. I've sent XXXX payments to XXXX with extra to cover principal but I have not received any notification on whether my payment was received or applied to my mortgage. Furthermore, I never have trouble with my other mail being received but XXXX insists they have not received checks that were mailed more than 2 weeks ago. My gut tells me is that they are not posting the check so that the interest they are charging on my {$640000.00} loan at 7.5 % can keep accruing. Please help me address this problem. This is the 21st century. Any mortgage company worth it's salt should have online access to me to pay and view my mortgage information. This is XXXX and I do not have any of my loan information

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Verification request letters were sent on XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023, and XX/XX/2023 regarding the Conn 's Account. Conn 's never responded by mail. I used the Chat Box on the Conn 's website to request for the account history. They finally emailed the information on XX/XX/2023. Conn 's is reporting a charge off on my credit report and that I owe a balance {$1600.00}. However, you can see on the account information that Conn 's sent shows I do not have a balance. Page 4 of the document, Balance due .... ________ I completely paid off this account as requested and this document shows that. This has prevented me from obtaining a loan and I will proceed with an attorney if needed. 


Now, the company is saying I need to authorize a third party. I am not working with a third party. I need this completed ASAP. I personally called Conn 's and requested for the documentation. They know it is me filing the complaint. 

Conn 's needs to respond to this complaint.
