XXXX XXXX XXXX was Deleted from my XXXX XXXX XXXX credit report due to company not being able to provide Purchase Agreement & Assignment Contract with wet ink signature binding both parties or XXXX for cancelation of debt. Despite the Deletion from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is still reporting to EQUIFAX inaccurate balances, dates which moves the statute of limitations as well as other inaccurate information. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is also reporting this exact same debt. This is a violation & holds grounds for deletion. The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ), credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. Furthermore, Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) requires that any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable must be promptly deleted. Also a 1099-C is required under IRS regulations for the cancellation of debt, and was never produced.

Importantly, according to FTC Law, Capital one must provide me with documentation and proof that this charge is valid if I ask for it and also provide me the details of their investigation. According to FTC Law : " If the issuer determines that you owe the disputed amount, they must tell you promptly and in writing how much you owe and why, and provide copies of documents that prove you owe the money if requested. '' The preceding statement is from the FTC.

I would like Capital One to provide me with this documentation, which is required if I ask for it according to FTC Law. To be clear and underline this point further - the only thing Capital One should provide in their response is the proof and evidence that I made this charge, that it is valid and warranted, which they are required by law to provide if requested. If Capital One feels they have provided this evidence already ( they haven't ), then re-attach it in their response. Capital One is violating the law if they do not provide the proof of this charge, and that I made it, that I am requesting. This clear request is in a written and recorded format here. Once again - provide the documentation and evidence that proves that this charge is valid and factual.

Installment loan. Late fees are extremely high and charge ON THE DATE PAYMENT IS DUE and not after. There is also no grace period to make payment without incurring a fee. Which is intentional. This product is essentially a buy now, pay later where if you pay off loan in predetermined time-frame there is no interest charged. It is clear that the intent of the product is to charge as many fees to the balance as possible ( Fees are {$40.00} ) so that they can run out the clock and begin to charge interest as ON TOP OF THE FEES. 
Predatory lending at its plainest.
