I am writing to formally lodge a complaint concerning inquiries on my credit report that I neither recognized nor consented to. These unauthorized inquiries are not only concerning but also damaging to my financial reputation. It has come to my attention that certain inquiries have been made on my credit report without my consent or knowledge. I want to emphasize that I have no association with these inquiries and have never authorized any entity to access my credit information in this manner.

I am writing to address the lack of response to my previous notice, dated XX/XX/year>, regarding the request for a copy of the 1099-C filed for the charged-off debt. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX failure to provide a response leaves me no choice but to assume that you have neglected to comply with FEDERAL law by not filing a 1099-C as mandated. Consequently, I am compelled to inform you that I will report XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to the IRS for potential tax fraud using Form 3949-A if prompt action is not taken. 

Furthermore, it is imperative that you notify XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax to delete this information from my credit report immediately. The account in question is detailed as follows : XXXX XXXX  As per IRS regulations, a canceled debt of {$600.00} or more necessitates the filing of a 1099-C form by federal or government agencies, or applicable financial entities. Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes tax fraud, a serious offense that I will not hesitate to report to the IRS. 

It is essential to understand that a canceled debt is considered ordinary income by the IRS. Consequently, any failure to file a 1099-C form, or any attempt to conceal such actions, constitutes inaccurate reporting. Income is not to be included on a credit report, and any such inclusion violates consumer laws and regulations. 

Your company 's actions are in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681s-2, which outlines the responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. Under this statute, it is prohibited to furnish inaccurate information knowingly or with reasonable cause to believe it is inaccurate. 

It is evident from my previous communication and this notice that there is reasonable cause to believe the information provided is inaccurate. Therefore, it is imperative that you take immediate steps to rectify this situation by deleting the inaccurate information from all consumer reporting agencies. 

Failure to comply will result in legal action being pursued, including holding the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, accountable for willful noncompliance under 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). This statute stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with FCRA requirements may be liable for damages sustained by the consumer. 

I am currently in the process of securing housing, and the inaccurate information on my credit report is hindering my progress. I urge you to act swiftly and cease reporting this item to avoid further complications.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NY)

Navient used highly deceptive practices on my XXXX  student loan that I co-signed for. The college and its staffs utilization of terms like XXXX XXXX basically coerced a teenager into a very serious lending agreement with no explanation of terms. A portion of my social security has been withheld since I retired. I am XXXX. 

After only attending for 2 years, he began receiving collection calls stating he owed XXXX, which went up to XXXX. My son felt legitimately scammed, and filed numerous disputes with the credit bureaus along with Navient. Luckily he had the loan relieved and removed from his credit in XXXX. 

Navient still however has not removed it from mine, and has been withholding it from my social security since my retirement. I have reached out dozens of times, called the XXXX, requested school misconduct discharge application, no responses from Navient. 

Please add transparency guidelines to the financial aid offices of these colleges. Students and parents have to fully understand the terms of these loans being that are disguised as quick financial aid for books, by the teachers etc. Many working class parents know as little about finance as the kids do. Nobody ever called me outlining terms. No explanation of penalties, interest, nothing. How is this not a crime? XXXX accountability for the fraud being committed here. 

Please have Navient remove me from this student loan, I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX American taxpayer. Stop with the scams, any other company would be in jail for XXXX XXXX minded criminality.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NE)

In XX/XX/XXXX an alleged debt originated with XXXX XXXX was reported by XXXX XXXX. I demanded validation because I knew the debt was either too old to be my debt or it simply was n't my account. I have not authorized any utilities in my name since I married my wife. Those types of accounts always go in her name. XXXX XXXX did not validate the account they removed the account from my credit report because they lacked the evidence to support their claim. Now XXXX XXXX has purchased the same debt and is reporting the open date asXX/XX/XXXX. I did not authorize the account and on top of that they are intentionally reporting the unauthorized debt as a much newer account than what it actually is.I have included a copy of my old credit report to prove at a minimum the account opening date is invalid. XXXX XXXX needs to validate this debt prior to continuing its collection efforts. Additionally, XXXX has re-added this negative information although the previous owner has failed to provide any form of debt validation after being requested. Finally, I have filed an identity theft report to report this theft. .As stated previously, I did not authorize the opening of the account which is why I demanded validation of the debt in the first place.

They have not mailed me anything or emailed me documentation but still call every other day harassing me as well as my mothers cell phone.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MA)

I applied for my mortgage loan with a local agency called XXXX XXXX out of XXXX Massachusetts. A couple of months later the mortgage was sold to Wells Fargo. The initial mortgage was {$620.00} a month. Wells Fargo " readjusted '' the mortgage by saying we were overpaying and dropped the monthly payment to {$580.00}, I asked them if this was true and wanted to make sure it was accurate and no one would tell me why the mortgage was re-evaluated. Then about a year later I received a letter that my mortgage was increasing from {$580.00} a month to {$870.00} a month! I never would have purchased a house for {$870.00} a month because that is about half of my monthly income, and I know my finances well enough to know I ca n't afford that! I have been fighting with Wells Fargo to re-evaluate my mortgage payment and to explain the reason for the increase. I do no have a variable rate, either. At this point they are talking about foreclosure despite paying {$600.00} a month instead of the {$580.00}. I have asked them to run a report to explain why the increase and have received nothing. I have spoken with my town and the treasurer/tax collector said that city taxes run from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX and Wells Fargo is calculating taxes on a calendar year from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX which actually is taking into account two calendar years. I have been dealing with them since XXXX of 2014 and at this point am ready to try to hire a lawyer.
