I recently signed up for a solar loan with Dividend Financial. The installer installed the solar panels but has not passed the city inspection. I communicated to the lender that the installer has not completed the project because the panels may be a fire risk or pose a risk to destroy my property without the city 's approval. The lender routed me to their Project Resolution Department, with an individual named XXXX XXXX I have been working with the solar installer to complete all the steps and set times to have my solar panels pass inspection ; however, my understanding of the loan docs is the panels are not installed until the city approves the installation. Moreover, the solar installer said they would cover the monthly payments until they completed the project and received approval from the city. 

The lender, Dividend Financial, said that because I have been in contact with the installer that they would not keep my case open and would not help me in the future because I'm in contact with the installer. Additionally, the lender said they would not confirm whether the installer will pay directly or I will have to pay and the installer will reimburse me.

Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint.

Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding significant inaccuracies in my credit reports from the major credit bureaus. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with the credit bureaus, the inaccuracies persist, adversely affecting my creditworthiness. 

As a consumer, I am protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate and complete information. The FCRA also stipulates that disputed information must be investigated and corrected within 30 days. The credit bureaus have not adhered to these legal requirements, failing to correct the erroneous information even after being provided with comprehensive evidence. 

Enclosed with this complaint are the following documents : Copy of My Credit Report : Showing the current inaccurate information.

Highlighted Credit Report : Clearly marking the disputed items. 
Supporting Documents : Including a copy of my ID, Social Security Number ( SSN ), and proof of address that confirm my identity and substantiate my claims. 

These errors have resulted in unjust denials of credit and unfavorable loan terms, causing significant inconvenience and financial distress. A fair resolution to this issue would be to delete these inaccuracies from my credit report. I request the CFPB 's intervention to ensure the credit bureaus comply with federal regulations and correct the inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and inform me of the next steps in your investigation. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Please be advised that this is my THIRD WRITTEN REQUEST and FINAL WARNING that I fully intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to enforce my rights and seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 regarding your continued willful and negligent noncompliance.

Despite my previous 2 written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You stated in your responses to my 2 dispute letters that you have verified that the items listed below are accurate but you failed to send me copies of the documents that you used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that you have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that you can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like you said you did. Your failure to delete the disputed accounts that you can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of your willful disregard of Federal Law.

When we go to litigation and through the discovery process you will be required to produce these documents along with an affidavit swearing under oath that these are the true and correct documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts. The fact that you don't have any of the said documents in your files is proof that you did not properly verify the accounts within 30 days as required by law and the Court will order you to delete them.

You say that you have reinvestigated these accounts but you've admitted that all you have done is parroted information given to you by other sources and shifted the burden back to me to contact the original creditor to verify these accounts which is clearly in violation of 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ).

I also asked you to give me the name of the person in your company who verified the accuracy of these accounts but you ignored this request as well which is another violation of Federal Law and evidence of your willful disregard of the law. 
Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA- you are required to " ..promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. '' I request that you do this immediately. 
The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 
I demand that you delete all of the accounts listed below immediately. Please provide me with a copy of an updated and corrected credit report showing that these items have been deleted.

XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting prohibited information/income on my consumer report. I have sent several disputes, cease and desist and still they continue to mis use my consumer report.Pursuant 15 USC 1681s-2 law clearly states a ) Duty of furnishers of information to provide accurate information. 

Pursuant to " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' deals with the issue of whether the issuance of a XXXX form alone is sufficient to claim that a debt was XXXX and should not be reported. In this context : - XXXX Form** : A form issued by a lender to the IRS and the borrower when they cancel a debt of {$600.00} or more. It typically indicates that the creditor is no longer attempting to collect the debt. 

- **Key Legal Question** : Whether the issuance of a XXXX form by itself means that the debt is legally XXXX and therefore should no longer be reported to credit reporting agencies like XXXX. 

**Court Findings** : - The court found that issuing a XXXX form alone is not sufficient to claim that a debt was legally XXXX. 
- The debt can still be reported to credit reporting agencies unless there is additional evidence indicating that the debt was actually XXXX under the law. 
- The issuance of a XXXX form is primarily for tax reporting purposes and does not necessarily affect the legal status of the debt. 

This decision underscores that the mere act of a lender issuing a XXXX form does not equate to a discharge of the debt for credit reporting purposes. Lenders and borrowers must look at the underlying circumstances and legal documentation to determine if the debt was indeed XXXX. 


As defined by IRS : even if u didnt receive a XXXX you must not report as gross income on you tax returns.
