My initial loan were with XXXX XXXX which they went out of business in XXXX of XXXX. XXXX XXXX took over their comstumer loans. I asked XXXX XXXX for a copy of original loan that I signed with the company. My loan roughly around {$13000.00} and they added XXXX to my loan without me knowing anything about it. They did not give it to me since I've talked to them on XX/XX/XXXX. They repossessed my car which I paid {$1200.00} to get it back. They blocked me from having access to the account whatever small amount left. I could not pay it. According to their system. My last date for payment was XX/XX/XXXX. They claim I owe {$2000.00} now which doesn't make sense at all. I'm currently talking to a law to make a lawsuit against them.

[ Your Name ] [ Your Address ] [ City, State, ZIP Code ] [ Email Address ] [ Phone Number ] [ Date ] Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Re : Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Reporting by [ Creditor Name ] ( Account Number : XXXX ) Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a charge-off account on my credit reports by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The details of the account in question are as follows : - Account Number : XXXX - Account Type : Installment ( Auto Loan ) - Original Creditor : [ Creditor Name ] - Balance : {$16000.00} - Date Opened : XX/XX/year> - Payment Status : Collection/Chargeoff The issues with this account are as follows : 1. **Continuous Reporting of Charge-off : ** The account has been reported as a charge-off every month for the past three years. According to IRS guidelines, an unpaid charge-off is considered income and should not be repeatedly reported in this manner. This continuous reporting is misleading and does not accurately reflect the true status of the debt.

2. **Sale of Debt : ** The debt associated with this account has been sold to another company. The original creditor should have updated the account status to indicate this change. Reporting the debt as an active charge-off after it has been sold is inaccurate and misleading.

3. **Issuance of Form 1099-C : ** I have requested a Form 1099-C from the original creditor, which should have been issued to indicate the cancellation of the debt. The absence of this form suggests that the debt should no longer be reported as active.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires that all information reported on my credit report must be accurate. Continuously reporting this debt as a charge-off while it has been sold to another company and should be recognized as canceled debt is a violation of the FCRA.

I have previously disputed this matter with the credit bureaus ( XXXX, Experian, and XXXX ) and the original creditor, but the issue remains unresolved. Therefore, I am seeking the assistance of the CFPB to investigate this matter and ensure that my credit reports are corrected to reflect accurate information.

Please find attached copies of relevant documentation, including my communications with the original creditor and the credit bureaus.

I request that the CFPB intervenes to have this inaccurate charge-off removed from my credit reports promptly.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I had an disputed balance Capital One refused to investigate in XX/XX/2023. I paid the account in full and closed the account because of this after being a loyal customer over XXXX. Days later They re-posted the disputed amount of {$1300.00}. I paid it off and then they added late fee {$25.00}, which was waived due to my payment history. 30 days later, they add another {$4.00} special interest fee, then charged XXXX cent, then another late fee. I was told on each occasion the small amount would get waived, but then they charged another {$5.00} late fee on {$4.00} balance and refused to honor what last CSR said. Now the " closed '' account state I owe {$9.00} and appears they are refusing to settle the account which is threatening my credit rating. The last person I spoke to refused to credit the account and told me, the credit I was promised, was not guaranteed.

The negative rating on my account is a source of great distress. I'm extremely concerned about its effects on my credit standing. It has already led to the rejection of a recent loan application and higher interest rates on my existing credit accounts. I can not overstate the financial hardship and emotional strain this unfavorable rating has caused and will continue to cause until this matter is resolved.

I have a credit score of XXXX ( +/- ) and after many years of being a loyal customer, never missed a payment once, had my capital one credit card interest rate increased to over 29 % without any notice, or explanation.

I have tried to resolve with the company myself and was told they, in short, didn't have to provide anything or try to improve an asinine experience they caused. Even after I told them I was going to report their conduct to the FTC. In fact, that didn't even phase them at all.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.
