These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

During part of an eviction in Georgia the judge presiding over the eviction made a judgment that no money was owed that was requested for back rent in the eviction but was awarded the property this judgment relieved me of the financial obligation to pay the rent when I had the rent that was owed the day of court. Since this judgment the landlord has parked the debt with the debt collector even though by court order I have been relieved of paying the debt I have provided the court documentation to the debt collector and they are still reporting to my credit and causing damages to my credit when the debt is not owed.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

To Whom It may concern. XX/XX/XXXX I made a big mistake in XX/XX/XXXX. I had let some credit cards get out of hand, and I was looking at paying them off. 
Somehow, I got a message from XXXX XXXX about that time, Erase your credit card debt. I made the mistake of contacting them. They were talking about a " negotiated settlement, '' which sounded pretty good. When they told me to stop making payments, I told them that would ruin my credit. They said that no one would negotiate unless the account was delinquent. They said that it would be very easy to clear my credit rating when they finished. 
Im sure you have heard this story before. I ended up with a high-interest loan for what they paid on the credit cards. Then I got a XXXX Tax form ( Earnings statement ) from the credit cards for the unpaid balance, and paid tax on it. I could have paid off the cards for what it cost me. 
I have endured the consequences for 7 years because I felt that I had created the problem, out of my own ignorance. 
It has been over 7 years, and I am still paying exorbitant interest rates, except on my VA loan. 
You can see that I am paying all of my debts on time, and I can lower the balances, if I can lower the interest rate. Currently, I see nothing on my credit report that I can protest. 
Please, just point me in the right direction to resolve this problem. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I recently reviewed my report and noticed an account that was not reporting accurately. There are XXXX inaccuracies showing on my report that should report as current due to protection under the CARES ACT. 

The CARES Act protections require creditors to follow these guidelines for all agreements made between XX/XX/XXXX, through either XX/XX/XXXX ( 120 days after XX/XX/XXXX, when the law was enacted ), or 120 days from the date the COVID-19 national emergency is declared over.

According to Sec. 4021 of the CARES ACT If a furnisher of credit information provides an accommodation to a consumer affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, and the consumer complies with the terms of the accommodation, the creditor generally must report the account as current. 

An " accommodation '' could be an agreement to make partial payment, to put a loan in forbearance, to modify a loan or to offer any other relief. 

A modification and agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was made on XX/XX/XXXX ( attached in documents ) and the account has been current/good standing since XX/XX/XXXX. 

The CARES ACT states If yourloan is considered delinquent ( past due ) when you make an agreement with your creditor, your status will continue to show as delinquent until you bring the account back into good standing. Once you bring the account current, the creditor must report your status as current to the credit bureaus. 

I am requesting you investigate the following accounts and the following payments ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ) be updated to CURRENT/PAID ON TIME.

Marcus bank is holding XXXX XXXX dollars from a real estate transaction wire fund. The wire fund was supposed to have been rejected 2 business days ago and after multiple phone calls with supervisors. First they would not accept a transaction over XXXX. I was not aware of that. However, the same days I then just requested for them to reject the wire. They did not do it. I am now being told there was an error on their part but it will still take another 1-3 business days for the funds that were never accepted by them to be returned to the escrow bank that sent them. This is deceptive practice & should be illegal for a bank to hold funds. Its very scary as a consumer to not know where my money is to be told basically that its floating somewhere in space! TERRIBLE. I will be closing my account the them as soon as this mess is resolved but feel others should know about this. Also, their customer service people have no business working in banking. I understand working for home but these people have no idea what they are doing & I could hear a womans baby screaming on one of my calls!
