I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : Creditor Name : XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off. 
Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score.

Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). 
Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper. 
I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. (GA)

In a desperate financial moment a few years ago I took out a {$3100.00} loan from NetCredit. For years I have been making timely payments. 

I've been going through a divorce for the past year, and was forced to change my checking account provider. I chose XXXX XXXX  - it's an online bank. My paychecks are directly deposited there twice per month. 

Since that time, NetCredit has annihilated my credit rating. It has tumbled some 100 points. I have spoken with associates every single month since then, and each time they tell me something different about why they can not take my payments. They have taken a few since I switched, but then sometimes don't and subsequently lower my score by 10-20 points. 

Also their notes, of course, never reflect the conversations I have with them. I finally opened a new account just to pay that one bill. It turns out they trashed my credit rating because their associates, including the collections manager, did not realize XXXX XXXX existed. 

This bit is beside the point, but also I still owe {$3400.00} after almost three years of timely {$160.00} payments - this is after borrowing {$3100.00}. 

Clearly NETCREDIT operates via some loophole in deficient consumer protections laws. 

They exploit consumers at their low points, charging them unimaginable amounts of interest, and then destroy their credit ratings if they switch to a bank they don't prefer. 

Just to clarify- I NEVER have attempted to pay NetCredit with a credit card. I have twice signed up for auto draft and they never seem to process it. I have at least XXXX times made phone payments that they do not complete for one reason or another. Finally - they don't even do me the dignity of notating my attempts to make payments or set them up. 

I feel NetCredit 's treatment of myself and probably many others is completely unethical and should not be allowed in the United States of America. NetCredit 's parent company, by the way, is operated by Americans, but they operate out of XXXX. It's very obvious why they would be based there - the practices of NetCredit are inconsistent with the values of the United States.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.
