Consumer complaint received 2023-04-26
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (LA)

First main issue is that another supposed collection company collecting on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX has contacted me again for the same {$2100.00}. Last time I submitted a complaint the company was claiming to be XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX collecting for XXXX XXXX XXXX, in the amount of {$2100.00}. I do not want this derogatory information to hurt my good credit that I have worked so hard to obtain and keep. Once again I am disputing that this is not my bill. Again, 1 ) I have never been in a contractual agreement with the reporting company 2 ) I have never been late with payment or delinquent with AT & T because I DO NOT have an individual account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. 3 ) The obvious how can you be delinquent the same month an account supposedly was opened. 4 ) This is obviously a fraudulent activity and 5 ) this happened in 2020 twice but under a different name for XXXX XXXX XXXX when I disputed it was removed according to FCRA practices. 6 ) I have done my due diligence with disputing this several times and requesting they provide proof. 
I already have placed the fraud alerts on all 3 credit bureaus because of this bill that is not mine randomly shows up. Which has led me to use my right to make formal complaint against this XXXX, Experian and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I do not owe anyone any money. As my credit file indicates 100 % excellent payment history because I pay my bills and creditors on time every month. 

The right and fair thing is to have this company to stop writing me and ensure removal of any inaccurate /fraudulent information from my credit bureaus and their records. As well, as for XXXX. XXXX, XXXX to cease from reporting this inaccurate information and or provide documented proof that this account belongs to me. There are no documents me for me to provide because again I have never been in a signed contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX nor am I in default or have been delinquent with an individual account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I have even contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX  on several occasions regarding this same matter and they always tell me they do not have me has having had an account with them. 

Kindly, XXXX XXXX

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: ZWICKER & ASSOCIATES (NC)

In XXXX, while living in XXXX, GA, I was contacted about a debt by the law firm of Zwicker and associates ( XXXX ), with whom I set up a payment arrangement. The original debt balance was {$5600.00}. I contacted XXXX XXXX  who informed me that the debt had gone to collections and they had no further information. The paralegal at Zwicker with whom I spoke told me after I had made a couple of payments that because of COVID XXXX XXXX  ( the debtor ) was suspending payments and probably dismissing them in light of financial hardships. I was told that Zwicker would notify me when or if payments would resume. I have since moved to North Carolina. 
Approximately a year later in XXXX I was served with a notice that a judgement had been found against me. I was given no notice that this was considered and it was a complete surprise. I tried contacting Zwicker and was given a run around without any one person explaining why or how a judgement could be placed against me without any notification or offer to begin repayment. 
Since then, I had not had any further contact from Zwicker until XXXX of XXXX when I checked my bank account and found that both my savings and checking accounts had been emptied and a hold was placed on my account. I contacted my bank who notified me that Zwicker had slammed my account, garnished my monies and placed a hold on the account. They could give me no further information and told me to contact Zwicker. When I called Zwicker, they told me that it was a legal hold and that I needed to talk to my bank. They also told me that they were unable to contact me which is funny since they were easily able to access my bank records. Further, I am not in hiding and my location is easy to determine. 
My issue its that Zwicker acted unscrupulously and without warning or notification after an extended time of no action to wipe out my entire savings and checking. I was given no notice that any action would be taken and since such an extended period had gone by without any action or notification, I had forgotten about the issue and assumed that the debt had been forgiven, as many credit card debts were at the time. To restate, Zwicker had told me that XXXX XXXX  was suspending payments and might forgive the debt do to the economic hardships caused by COVID. They told me that they would contact me at a later date regarding the status of the debt, which they never did. Almost three years later, they wiped my account clean without any warning or notification and froze my accounts. Since I had several automatic payments tied to my checking account, this put me in greater jeopardy. 
I have since learned that Zwicker and associates routinely acts in this manner without regard to the impact on my life and is regarded as one of the most unscrupulous firms in the business.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, in connection with an account under my name that was charged off by your institution and subsequently reported as such on my credit report. 

As outlined in IRS regulations under Section 6050P of the Internal Revenue Code, creditors are required to issue a Form 1099-C when a debt of {$600.00} or more has been canceled or discharged. It is my understanding that since the charged-off debt has been written off by your institution, it constitutes a cancellation of debt, and I should have been provided with the appropriate tax documentation in accordance with the law. 

Failure to provide a 1099-C form for canceled debts could be considered a violation of the IRS reporting requirements, which obligates creditors to report forgiven or discharged debts in excess of {$600.00}. It is essential for me to have this form to accurately report the canceled debt on my tax returns, and I would like to resolve this matter in a timely manner to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.

Please send the 1099-C form at your earliest convenience, either to my physical address or via email at XXXX Should you require any additional information or documentation from my end, I am more than willing to cooperate to expedite the process. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and resolution of this issue.
