Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Self Financial Inc. (MO)

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681, section 602a ), it is emphasized that consumer reporting agencies, such as XXXX and XXXX, must carry out their significant responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a profound respect for the privacy rights of consumers. As a consumer, I assert my right to ensure that my private information remains confidential, as supported by 15 USC 6801, which states that financial institutions are obligated to respect customer privacy and safeguard the security of nonpublic personal information. 

It is important to note that the entity furnishing information to credit agencies, categorized as a financial institution under this statute, must adhere to specific guidelines. According to 15 USC 1681, section 604a, a consumer reporting agency can furnish a consumer report only in accordance with the written instructions of the concerned consumer. I explicitly state that I have not provided my consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, for the disclosure of my information to XXXX, XXXX, or the aforementioned financial institution. 

Referring to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), it is outlined that a financial institution is prohibited from disclosing nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties unless the consumer is informed about the option to exercise nondisclosure. I assert that I was not informed by the entity furnishing information to credit agencies about my right to exercise the nondisclosure option. 

Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) explicitly prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including certain adverse information in consumer reports without proper authorization. This includes adverse items that antedate the report by more than seven years. The reporting of this account as an adverse item without my permission is a violation of my rights under this statute.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring an issue to your attention that I encountered while reviewing my credit report. It appears that an old credit card account under my name has been reported as a charge off.

As I am currently in the process of applying for a house, having an accurate credit report is of utmost importance. I understand that under federal law, when an account is charged off, the company is required to send a 1099C form to the account holder. However, I have not received this form for the above-mentioned account.

I kindly request that you send me a copy of the 1099C form associated with this charge off. This will allow me to have a more accurate understanding of the reported information and potentially address any discrepancies.

Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. Should you require any additional information from me, please do not hesitate to ask. 
Best regards, XXXX XXXX

Company: STATE EMPLOYEES CREDIT UNION (NC)

On XXXX XXXX, 2023, XXXX added cash to her XXXX  account using the add cash feature on XXXX amounting {$1000.00}, which was deducted from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX State Employee Credit Union debit card ending in XXXX. XXXX cashed out ( deposited ) at XXXX, on the same date, XX/XX/2023, a total of {$1100.00} to XXXX XXXX State Employees ' Credit Union account which is linked to the same debit card - # XXXX. 

Also on the same date XX/XX/2023, XXXX transferred funds in the amount of {$1000.00} from her State Employees ' Credit Union debit card to XXXX XXXX 's XXXX account - XXXX XXXXXXXX. This amount was then cashed out by XXXX and instantly deposited to her XXXX XXXXXXXX account ( attached ; please note, in the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX photo attached, it only shows a deposit of {$1000.00}. To instantly deposit a transfer from XXXX, XXXX had to pay a processing fee of {$17.00}. ) However, the {$1100.00} mentioned previously was never deposited back into XXXX 's account. Instead State Employees ' Credit Union duplicated the withdrawal of XXXX 's original transfer of {$1000.00} through XXXX, and withdrew a total amount of {$2000.00}. 

XXXX opened a dispute with State Employees ' Credit Union and XXXX. XXXX, states that the transaction was only initiated and transferred once. However, State Employees ' Credit Union states they are unable to resolve any occurrences that involve wire transfers with XXXX and the dispute would need to be settled with the person or individual the funds were transferred to. If a proper investigation was conducted, one would see that XXXX 's transfer of {$1100.00} was to her own State Employees ' Credit Union account- which was never deposited. The occurrences we are trying to resolve relates to them, State Employees ' Credit Union, duplicating the withdrawal of {$1000.00} and having no account of the deposit of {$1100.00} ( evidence attached ). This dispute was opened with XXXX on XX/XX/2023 and the letter of denial is dated XX/XX/2023. Yet, I received the letter in the mail on XX/XX/2023 ; which tells me SECU did not properly investigate. 

There are two matters at hand that need to be reconciled. I only authorized {$1000.00}, to be deducted from my account once to XXXX 's XXXX account. Unfortunately, State Employees ' Credit Union withdrew the amount twice and will not take accountability nor accept supporting documentation of the mistake they made. Furthermore, my bank account does not show the {$1100.00} was ever deposited. 

All documentation that support this claim is attached.
