RE : Late Payment Improperly Reported- I XXXX XXXX have a RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) as a federally protected consumer and I know my rights presented under the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly outlined within 15 USC 1681. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So, whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n and 15 USC 1681o, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report that need be immediately updated to paid as agreed. My Consumer rights have been violated. This is the THIRD attempt to notify you of this erroneous error on the part of your agency. This erroneous late payment is affecting my ability to obtain a loan to save my business from crumbling and also blocking me from the housing that I so desperately need for myself and my family. Please change this to paid as agreed immediately so that I may proceed with my life, or I may be forced to seek legal damages against your agency as I already have sought legal counsel in this more than important matter. Thank you.

Subject : Escalated Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Reporting of Cancelled Debt by MACYS/CBNA To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this escalated complaint regarding the continued reporting of a cancelled debt by MACYS/CBNA ( Account ending in XXXX ) on my credit report with XXXX and XXXX, despite the issuance of a Form 1099-C documenting the cancellation of this debt. 

Key Issues and Violations 1. Continued Reporting of Cancelled Debt : MACYS/CBNA issued a Form 1099-C for {$3100.00}, indicating that the debt was cancelled as of XX/XX/year>. 
The continued reporting of this debt as charged off on my credit report contradicts the identifiable event of cancellation as documented in the 1099-C. This inconsistency violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy in credit reporting.

2. Failure to Update Credit Reporting : Despite the identifiable event of cancellation, XXXX and XXXX continue to list this account as charged off, with no indication of the debt being cancelled. 
Reporting a debt as both charged off and cancelled is misleading and harmful to my creditworthiness.

3. Misrepresentation of Debt Status : The issuance of a 1099-C signifies that the creditor has discharged the debt, which should result in its removal or accurate update on credit reports. Failure to do so misrepresents the legal status of the debt, potentially violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692e ). 
4. Harm to Creditworthiness : This inaccurate reporting significantly impacts my credit score and financial opportunities. The continued derogatory reporting is unjustified given the cancellation of the debt. 

Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I respectfully request that the CFPB : 1. Investigate MACYS/CBNAs compliance with FCRA and FDCPA regulations regarding the reporting of this account.

2. Require MACYS/CBNA to instruct XXXX and XXXX to remove the derogatory information related to this account from my credit report.

3. Provide written confirmation that the inaccurate information has been corrected or removed from my credit report.

Supporting Documentation To support this complaint, I have attached : A copy of the Form 1099-C issued by MACYS/CBNA for this account. 
My credit report highlighting the continued reporting of this account as charged off. 

Contact Information Full Name : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, TN XXXX Phone Number : XXXX Email Address : XXXX I request that this matter be addressed promptly and that a resolution is provided within the mandated timeframe for investigations. I reserve the right to seek damages under applicable consumer protection laws for any continued inaccuracies. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

After receiving their correspondence I wrote to have the two delinquencies retracted from my credit history. Their response was that they would not remove the inaccuracies because the delinquencies occurred before the forbearance start date. However, as indicated in their previous correspondence my forbearance spanned from XXXX till XXXX and the inaccurate reporting occurred in XXXX and XXXX.

This DISPUTE LETTER is being submitted in light of the recent Overhaul of Consumer Records by the Credit Bureaus. I have recently paid for a copy of my credit reports, and reviewed my credit file, as is being reported with you, and noticed there are several inaccurate accounts and/or items on my report. The below listed accounts were not opened by me, and that I did not profit from these accounts having been opened.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account.

It is also my request by virtue of the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) that documentation showing evidence of a properly opened investigation of the below disputed accounts be forwarded to me along with any and all responding letters or documents of these alleged creditors. Failure to provide to me these documents along with certified proof of contractual agreements between myself and all of the below listed alleged creditors shall constitute admittance that this consumer reporting agency is reporting inaccurate and unverifiable consumer information and shall be removed and deleted immediately to comply with the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) legislation.

\nI demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed below. 

The below listed accounts by the Original Creditors, who have reported these accounts within my credit reports, do not belong to me in part or in whole. Let it also be noted that I did not give my authorization for anyone else to open these accounts. 

They are being listed as follows : XXXX XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Amount : {$750.00} XXXX XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Amount : {$1000.00} XXXX XXXX  XXXX  Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Amount : {$210.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Amount : {$640.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Amount : {$190.00} Inquires : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX.

I previously sent a letter asking for the documentation you used to verify these late payments, such as a transactional history, since what's reporting is not in line with any of my records and I know for certain that what's reporting is incorrect and inaccurate. Late payments affect my scores by a great deal, for sure you know that. How would you feel if the late payments reporting are not true but it keeps on weighing down your scores.
