Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

I am filing a complaint against XXXX for inaccurate credit reporting, potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and fraudulent practices that have caused me statutory damages. 
My credit report shows an account with XXXX as " charged off ''. However, I have not received a Form 1099-C from the creditor, which is required by the IRS when a debt is forgiven or canceled. This inconsistency raises serious concerns about the accuracy of the information being reported and the creditor 's practices.

Under the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers of information to credit reporting agencies have a duty to provide accurate information4. The discrepancy between the " charged off '' status and the lack of a 1099-C form suggests a violation of this provision.

Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) requires furnishers to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information. I believe XXXX has failed to properly investigate and correct this inaccuracy, despite my attempts to resolve the issue directly with them. 
I am concerned that this situation constitutes fraud and extortion. By reporting the debt as " charged off '' without issuing a 1099-C, the creditor may be attempting to collect on a debt that has been forgiven for tax purposes, while simultaneously damaging my credit. This practice could be seen as an unfair or deceptive act under 15 U.S.C. 45 ( a ).

The inaccurate reporting has caused me significant harm, including statutory damages as defined under the FCRA. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681n, I may be entitled to actual damages, punitive damages, and reasonable attorney 's fees for willful noncompliance with the FCRA. 
I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and require XXXX to : Provide documentation supporting the " charged off '' status Issue a Form 1099-C if the debt has indeed been forgiven Correct any inaccurate information on my credit report Cease any attempts to collect on this debt if it has been forgiven Compensate me for the statutory damages incurred due to their inaccurate reporting The failure of XXXX to address these concerns has caused significant damage to my credit and financial well-being. Their actions appear to be part of a pattern of behavior that the CFPB should investigate, as credit reporting issues continue to be the most common complaint received by your agency. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a resolution that ensures compliance with federal law, protects consumers from such practices, and provides appropriate compensation for the damages I have suffered.

" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. 

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (VA)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (TX)

Please refer to my earlier CFPB complaint XXXX dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
As per that : XXXX Please refer to my earlier complaints about Citibank. It seems there is no way this bank can improve and do something better. The latest issue - the customer service folks are not even aware of the correct XXXX Routing #. I called them via phone during XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX. As I was not having the online access or my check book - I simply asked them about my account # and the XXXX routing # to setup a direct deposit. The gentlemen on the phone told me that XXXX routing # is : XXXX though he provided me the right account #. I setup in my employer 's portal for the direct deposit. For the pay on XXXX XXXX XXXX - i realized the direct deposit is not happening and then reached out to their customer service again. Only to realize that the routing # is wrong. He told me that if the routing # and the account # is not matching - then money will be refunded. My employer might charge me penalty for this. And I have no idea what happened to my {$100.00} direct deposit which went into somebody 's else 's account. This is so careless mistake by the customer service. Citi has a usual habit or pattern of making simple things complex. Moreover Citi has  grown so big and expanded into so many geographies that they ca n't manage very simple stuff also. It 's just too difficult to deal with this bank. 

================================================================= Essentially speaking Citi customer service gave me wrong information about the XXXX routing # and thus the direct deposit failed. 
This failed direct deposit was totally Citi 's fault and they accepted it also. 
When i was opening this account - it had a promotion of {$500.00} - i fulfilled that by applying the right promotion also. It was opened using the webpage that they had at that point of time. 

Once again citi is trying not to honor their words and deprive me of the promotion.
