Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: I.C. System, Inc. (GA)

To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting a formal complaint against IC System, a debt collection agency acting on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX, for reporting a debt I do not owe to XXXX. IC System has listed an alleged debt of {$200.00} on my credit report, which is inaccurate and has negatively impacted my credit score. 

Details of Complaint Inaccurate Debt Reporting for Paid Balance : IC System is reporting an XXXX XXXX XXXX debt of {$200.00} as outstanding, despite my having already paid all outstanding balances and returned the necessary equipment to XXXX XXXX XXXX. This debt, as reported, is not valid, and IC System has no basis for pursuing collection or reporting it to credit bureaus as an unpaid amount. 

Negative Impact on Credit Report : IC System has reported this erroneous debt to XXXX, where it continues to appear on my credit report as a negative item. This incorrect reporting has adversely affected my credit score and misrepresents my creditworthiness. 

Failure to Correct Inaccuracies After Disputes : I have attempted to resolve this issue by disputing it directly with the credit bureau, but IC System has not corrected this error. They continue to report the debt as valid, disregarding the fact that there is no outstanding balance owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Violation of Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : IC Systems refusal to accurately report or validate this debt may be in violation of both the FDCPA and FCRA, which require that debt collectors report only accurate information to credit bureaus and provide validation of the debt upon dispute.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: OneMain Finance Corporation (FL)

I am under the impression that because I did not pay the whole {$9000.00} plus that the company wanted me to pay at the end of the full contract that my account was marked as not settled in full, however I did pay ALL the money that was initially given to me in full. The loan was paid off before the full term so of course I didn't pay what I would have paid if the loan was left open longer. How am I getting punished for interest that I didn't accumulate due to the contract closing sooner than later. Keep in mind this was all going on during the peak of Covid-19 with no income coming in which is why I applied for the loan in the first place. So basically the company is upset because they didn't make any money off of my loan. I paid EVERY dollar BORROWED BACK that was deposited into my account from One Main. You can't count interest for a loan that was not open for the full term which is what I discussed with their lawyer on the phone while mailing her my certified payment. I was promised otherwise and my credit report does not reflect what I was told. Please fix this because I am not accepting this from the company. I received a loan from the company in XXXX 2020 during the pandemic when my family lost everything. I was not working and the company was advised that and I paid them in full ; more than the initial loan that they gave me. Upon paying the loan the company told me that they would mark my account paid in full with no late fees but instead marked me down as settled. I literally paid them way more than they first gave me. I had disputed before and still no resolution from them. Please help.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AZ)

Hello, I actually review CFPB complaints for a large mortgage company so I will make this concise. Recently I decided to look into financing/purchasing a rental property. Upon checking my credit score ( as one does during this sort of process ) I noticed that My Equifax score is dramatically lower than all other reporting agencies. I will upload a pdf labeled CFPB 1 showing a roughly XXXX point difference between Equifax and the other reporting agencies. When i looked into what had caused the decline of the Equifax score the issue got even more confusing. As item labeled CFPB2 shows, Equifax is reporting that the reason for the decline in my credit score with them is due to me paying down a balance I have on a credit card by a conservative amount of only {$100.00}. How is my credit score decreased due to myself making a payment towards my balance?! is Equifax trying to make people crazy? Lastly, when you call Equifax you can never get a person that can speak English or understand it for that matter. Is that even legal?

I disputed these accounts with Transunion because the collection agency/creditor were unable to provide the requested information needed for debt validation for these alleged debts. Pursuant to the FCRA 15 USC 1681 ( e ) ( b ), my credit report should display the maximum possible accuracy. However, this is not the case because this credit reporting agency is purposely violating my consumer 's right by displaying numerous inaccuracies for these accounts which is negatively affecting my creditworthiness. Transunion completed their investigation, and the end results were that these accounts were " verified as accurate ''. I am requesting a description of the procedure that was used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information that I disputed. Pursuant to the FCRA 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), Transunion is required to send me documentation of the procedure used within 5 business days of the completed investigation for determining the accuracy and completeness.

*What certified documents were reviewed to conclude your investigation?

* Who did Transunion speak or interview regarding this account - employee name and time?

*What was the date and time of this conversation and how long did the conversation last?

*What number did you call?

*How did you come to this determination that these accounts were " verified as accurate?

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
