Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MI)

Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ) continued reporting of a charge-off on my credit report. This is more than a simple reporting issueit reflects a disturbing pattern of double-dipping and potential fraud designed to manipulate both consumer reporting agencies and the U.S. tax system. 

XXXX  has classified this alleged debt as a charge-off, which should signify its closure and removal from my credit report. Yet, they persist in reporting the account, benefiting from it in multiple ways. It is clear they are attempting to exploit the system by claiming the charge-off as a tax deduction, while simultaneously inflicting harm on my credit profile. This contradiction not only raises ethical concerns but also puts them in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), which mandates accurate reporting. 

Let me also make this abundantly clear : I have a legal right to privacy under these laws. XXXX 's failure to verify and remove this alleged debt is a violation of my consumer rights, and I am entitled to {$1000.00} per violation under the FCRA. These violations continue to accumulate each day this illegitimate charge-off remains on my credit report. 

XXXXs actions represent a deliberate attempt to double-dip by simultaneously taking advantage of the tax benefits from a bad debt deduction under 26 U.S. Code 166 ( Bad debts ) while profiting off the damage caused to my credit. This kind of conduct could very well constitute tax fraud, and I fully intend to bring this matter to the attention of the IRS if it is not resolved immediately. 

I demand the following : Full documentation of the procedures XXXX  has followed in verifying this alleged debt and their basis for continuing to report it as a charge-off. This includes every step of their process, the employees involved, the internal communications, and the exact e-signature procedures used to verify this account. I want to know who signed off on this, down to the managers managers, their lunch breaks, and the step-by-step actions taken to ensure accuracy. 

Proof that XXXX  has not claimed this debt as a tax write-off while continuing to report it to the credit bureaus. If XXXX  is attempting to benefit both waysby claiming the account as a loss while still using it to harm my creditthis is a clear case of tax evasion, and I will report it to the IRS for further investigation. 

Immediate removal of this charge-off from all credit reporting agencies. The continued reporting of this account as a charge-off, while XXXX  derives other benefits from it, is a blatant violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692 ). If not removed promptly, I will pursue further legal action under the FCRA, FDCPA, and any applicable state laws.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I am filing a complaint against XXXX, Experian, and XXXX for failing to respond to credit disputes filed over 30 days ago. Despite multiple efforts to address inaccuracies, I have not received any acknowledgment, investigation results, or updates regarding the disputes. These inaccuracies involve the XXXX account and an erroneous bankruptcy reference, which have not been properly verified or corrected. 

XXXX removed the XXXX tradeline after my dispute through CFPB Case # XXXX, but Experian and XXXX failed to address or resolve the issues. The continued reporting of these inaccurate items has severely impacted my credit score, resulting in denials of credit and ongoing financial harm.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL)

On XX/XX/year> PayPal Credit decreased my credit limit from {$2500.00} to {$420.00}. The way they notified me was by an email sent to me on XXXX  that ended up in my email junk folder, so I never saw it. The email indicated it was because of a review of the account, and the decision was based in part on information about my PayPal account, my Venmo account if one has been established, and a scoring system that was used to predict my credit worthiness. The reasons listed were : Average Difference In Payment To Minimum Amount Due On Paypal/Venmo Credit Account In Last 2 Months ; Average Difference In Payment To Minimum Payment Due On Paypal/Venmo Credit Account In Last 3 Months ; Number Of Unpaid Collection Items ; Changes In Balances On Bank Card Accounts In Last 24 Months. 
I dont have any collection accounts, and if I did it was there when they originally extended me credit. I dont have a Venmo credit account. At the time of their email, the balance on the account was {$110.00}. The payments on the account never significantly changed because the balance was low. This has significantly impacted my credit score, lowering it by almost 50 points, and will impact my ability to obtain credit elsewhere for no other reason than paying and managing my PayPal Credit account as agreed. I want my credit limit reestablished, a statement added to my credit file by PayPal Credit that the limit decrease was in error, and a refund of any bank fees I have or may be charged as a result of this action. I use the PayPal app regularly and there was never an indication there in the PayPal Credit link that a credit decrease was imminent. Its outrageous that a corporation can arbitrarily destroy my credit score because I paid my account as agreed.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (TX)

Structure of my home loan : I have an XXXX loan with Nation Star Mortgage. Basically 80 % of my home loan gets taken out of XXXX loan and 20 % gets taken from another loan. Insurance and taxes are paid out of my 80 % loan ... .never my 20 % loan ... .I do n't even have access online to pay escrow on my 20 % loan if I wanted to ... keep this in mind when reading below. 

Around XX/XX/XXXX, I received a check from my home insurance company in the amount of {$1400.00}. The insurance company stated my mortgage company XXXX Nation Star Mortgage XXXX paid the insurance twice. I called my mortgage company and told them that the insurance was paid twice and asked what I needed to do with the check. Nation Star Mortgage said I had enough funds in my escrow and did n't need to send the check back. I was advised that, just to be safe, to send {$200.00} which I did in XX/XX/XXXX 

Now it is XX/XX/XXXX. In the beginning XX/XX/XXXX, I sent over {$8400.00} to pay off my 20 % LOAN with Nation Star Mortgage. A few days later, I realized I had a {$12.00} balance so I sent {$20.00} more to close it out. A few days later I noticed the account was still not closed so I called Nation Star Mortgage. Nation Star Mortgage explained that I had an Escrow balance of around {$1400.00}. Basically, after numerous phone calls and time, I found out that when the mortgage company paid my insurance twice back XX/XX/XXXX, they paid it once from the 80 % loan and once from the 20 % loan. I have called Nation Star Mortgage numerous times to discuss their mistake and all they tell me is that I need to send the check to pay off the escrow. This is not right because I was told by a Nation Star Mortgage employee XX/XX/XXXX that I did not have to send the check in. Her notes are documented in the Nation Star Mortgage database. This has been confirmed by another employee I spoke to. Also, why did n't Nation Star Mortgage realize they paid the insurance from the wrong loan and fix the issue or contact me??? When making my online payments for my 20 % loan since XX/XX/XXXX, nothing was ever shown stating that I had an escrow balance. I am currently working with another Nation Star employee who states that the best they can do is move the escrow balance on the 20 % loan to the 80 % loan. It has been over two weeks already since she last told me this and nothing is happening. I would like for Nation Star Mortgage to pay for the escrow balance on the 20 % LOAN since it was their mistake. They took it out of the 20 % loan which was a mistake and they told me I did n't have to send it back which was false. A financial company can not make these types of mistakes and expect the customer to pay for them. This is not right.
