Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TN)

Fifth Third Bank : I had a credit card account that was closed in 2019. Ive tried to get my account number to do a balance transfer to another company. I threw my card away when I closed the account. Account number not on statement, not online, and I asked if I could reopen account to get a new card sent and they would not do that either. Since I couldnt get my account no., I was going to pay off card. I called this weekend and was told I could make a payment over phone. They were ready to take my payment when they thought I was going to make the minimum payment. When I told them I wanted to pay it off, there was always a problem. I was told the system was doing an update, told I couldnt do it over phone because account was closed, put on hold and nobody came back, hung up on, and even transferred to someone and I asked if the system was down and she said it was not. She took my information for payment and when I asked for a confirmation number, she put me on hold and the line was disconnected. I called today and was told much of the same things, I couldnt make a payment because the account was closed ( even though I have in the past ). I was transferred to multiple people. One guy was even laughing when he answered the phone. Finally, I was transferred to someone that took my information. She gave me a confirmation number, but I am not confident it will go through. Its as if they dont want you to pay off your account to keep collecting interest. Worst company I have ever dealt with.

Formal Complaint and Request for Investigation and Removal of Unauthorized Charge-Off. 
XXXX XXXX ( {$1600.00} ) EXPERIAN AND XXXX I am formally disputing and requesting the immediate investigation and removal of unauthorized and inaccurately reported charge-off entries by a third-party collection agency from my credit report. These entries have severely affected my financial standing, disqualifying me from securing a home mortgage, an auto loan, or any lines of credit. 
It is critical to highlight that I have never entered into any contractual relationship with this collection agency. Their actions to report on my credit without a direct agreement are not only baseless but also infringe upon my consumer rights, constituting a clear violation of multiple legal standards pertaining to credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The reporting of charge-offs, which are essentially certificates of indebtedness that I have never agreed upon, appears on my credit report without my authorization. This action is in direct violation of the principles that govern lawful credit reporting.

2. **Failure to furnish Form 1099-C** : The collection agency has also failed to provide me with a copy of Form 1099-C concerning the cancellation of debt, which is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance. This omission has potentially placed me at risk of non-compliance with IRS regulations.

3. **Violation of Privacy Rights** : Under the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), there is a stringent protection against the unlawful disclosure of personal information. The agency 's action contravenes these legal provisions by disclosing personal financial details without my consent.

4. **No Contractual Relationship** : As I have never signed any form of agreement with the said agency, their report constitutes a direct infringement on my rights as a consumer.

5. **Opt-Out Rights** : In accordance with the provisions of 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, and 12 CFR 1016.7, along with 15 USC 6802 ( b ) and 15 USC 6805, I am formally opting out of all authorizations, whether impliedly granted, for sharing or reporting my credit information.

Given these points, I urge you to act swiftly in investigating these claims and remove the inaccurate charge-off entries from my credit report. I expect a written confirmation of the deletion of these entries. Please understand that I am prepared to take further steps, including legal action, if necessary, to ensure the correction of my credit information and to protect my rights. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

After examining my credit report, I've discovered several unauthorized accounts that have adversely affected my credit standing. I am deeply dismayed by your assumption regarding whether I've been a victim or not. Your authority or legal standing to make such claims is nonexistent. I firmly assert that these accounts are a consequence of identity theft and demand swift attention and resolution. 


I wish to clarify that I have neither initiated nor authorized the accounts listed on my credit report. These accounts have been opened fraudulently, without my knowledge or consent. To address this issue, I have taken the necessary steps to report the suspected identity theft to the relevant authorities, including filing reports. I have also attached a copy of the Identity Theft Report filed with the FTC for your reference. 

I kindly request that you conduct a thorough investigation into the validity of these accounts and take appropriate actions to remove them from my credit report, as they are not the result of any legitimate transaction or credit application made by me.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I am appalled by the lack of responsibility on your behalf. When will the Credit Reporting Agencies going to fix all the erroneous information on my personal credit file? For the past 6 months my requests have been overlooked. Discontinue the stall tactics and please repair the disputed accounts. I took the liberty t investigate my Credit File, since the Credit Bureaus seems to not do so, and I took notes of the following : 1 ) despite the multiple dispute attempts I have been doing, the Credit Bureaus do not include on the report that the accounts are disputed ; 2 ) the information that the Credit Bureaus do not match each other, there are information that are different than the other Credit Bureau ; and 3 ) the Credit Bureaus are clearly not reporting accurate information on the disputed accounts. I have been keeping my own payment records for each account and what they report on my Credit File is totally different from what I have. I need the Credit Bureaus to remove the late payments from the disputed accounts.
