Issue: Communication tactics — Threatened to take legal action
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc. (TX)

I have an account from national credit systems that was originally for XXXX dollars for a broken lease for apartments. I resided in the apartment homes for one month and moved due to the environment, at this time I had gotten a phone call from national credit systems around XX/XX/2010 saying I had been sued and owed them XXXX dollars. I disputed this account on this basis that I never received notification prior to it reporting to my credit as well as that the balance was inaccurate, I requested at this time a debt validation within 30 days which was never received, at this point I requested the account to be removed from my credit report. It was not. I have disputed this account on 9 separate occasions throughout the years following and continue to get a response from the credit bureaus stating " national credit systems has validated this account with OUR company '' I have never received a debt validation from this company and I have all accurate up to date information for correspondence on my credit report. This is in violation of the fair credit reporting act to not send debt validations and say the account is validated. My last dispute was about 30 days ago on the basis that the company violated the law stating that a landlord must seek a new tenant when previous tenant breaches a contract and terminates lease before completion. This community charged me for the remainder of the lease and never made reasonable attempts to re-sell the property.

Today I received a letter that states that " the current mailing address you provided is not listed in our records '' and for that reason I would have to submit XXXX forms of verification of my current address. I am complaining because the last XXXX credit reports that I received from TransUnion were sent to me at my current address, and they DID include my current mailing address in the address history. I 've been at my current address for seven years and I have never requested that my current address removed. TransUnion 's record keeping is shoddy at best.

Subject : Second Request for Investigation of Inaccurate Late Payments Reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

( Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ) and 15 U.S.C. 1637 ( a ) ) I am writing to formally request your assistance in resolving an issue with inaccurate late payment reporting by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This letter serves as my second request after an initial dispute with the credit bureaus and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to resolve the matter. 

As a co-signer on my son 's student loans, I am responsible for ensuring the monthly payments are made. Maintaining an excellent on-time payment history is critical to me, and this erroneous reporting is damaging my otherwise flawless credit record. 

The accounts in question are : Account No : XXXX ( Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX, Last Updated : XX/XX/XXXX ) Account No : XXXX ( Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX, Last Updated : XX/XX/XXXX ) Account No : XXXX ( Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX, Last Updated : XX/XX/XXXX ) The issue involves a reported XXXX late payment for XX/XX/XXXX. However, my records indicate that I was : On time for XX/XX/XXXX, Incorrectly marked as 60 days late for XX/XX/XXXX, and On time for XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 

This discrepancy suggests that the late payment for XX/XX/XXXX is an error. Under 15 U.S.C. 1666 ( b ) of the Fair Credit Billing Act and 15 U.S.C. 1637 ( a ) of the Truth in Lending Act, I have the right to dispute this inaccurate information. Despite my previous efforts, XXXX XXXX has not provided accurate verification of this late payment, and it continues to negatively impact my credit.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

I called and upfront the loan officer said that they did n't offer a loan like that for a loan of my amount, I stated to him that they came to me with this offer with the loan amount on the offer. After a couple of days of back and forth with him they decided to keep their word and do our VA XXXX at the previously stated 3.25 %. They also stated that there was no loan origination fee 's, credit check, no appraisal, no income verification, and once we signed our loan documents acceptin the offer we would close on the loan mid XXXX. Yesterday I was received a letter stating that my loan was denied due to credit unworthiness, now if there is no credit check how am I being denied for credit unworthiness. I was upfront with the loan officer and stated I was injured at work and was in the process of preparing for XXXX. He assured me that the loan was going to close in XXXX. Now I called him today XXXX XXXX to find out what the issue was he said hat the credit underwriter denied the loan due to a late payment on my current loan in XXXX, I stated that the VA XXXX guide states there is no credit underwriting for this loan so how is it that they are the ones denying my loan. That 's when the conversation switched from his company 's unfair practices to a personal attack on myself. He said that I am still have an issue questions my integrity, as a veteran that is a huge issue for someone to call my integrity into question for simply asking for answers as to why they are differing the procedure from what he himself stated and what the VA website states as to be the normal.

I did not receive the XXXX and as far as I can tell they never even made an effort to sent it to me. The did send it to the IRS. I just received a letter from the IRS with my income adjusted for the additional amount and it made me owe {$560.00} more in taxes. I feel that I should have received the XXXX so I could include it on my tax return. This came out of nowhere and I was not even sure it belonged to me as I had no knowledge of an account with TD Bank until several phone calls and transfers later and I finally spoke to someone that said it was a Target card and then I knew what it was about.
