As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), any item
of reporting that has been previously removed can not be reinserted onto any consumer 's credit report profile without written notice from at least the accepting credit reporting agency ( ies ) /repository ( ies ) directly to me, the injured consumer, within five ( 5 ) business days of the alleged date of reinsertion.

On XX/XX/year> I sent a certified letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX showing that my wife and I refuse to pay the debt they are trying to collect. My credit reports were pulled from XXXX is still showing a negative item from them and shows that I am disputing the account. How can I be disputing the information AND refusing to pay the debt. I've attached the receipt, the letter, and a credit report showing the information. 

They are also trying to charge interest on the debt. My lease with the apartment complex does NOT have any language stating that interest may be charged in any event. That is against California state law. 

I demand that this be removed from my credit reports due to many errors. Laws state that they can only report things that are accurate.

My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. these are the accounts : XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX Incorrect Address - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, FL, XXXX Incorrect Address - XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX FL, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

I am writing to address the recent response from Midland Credit Management regarding the alleged debt associated with my name and to express my concerns regarding violations of federal law in the handling of this matter. 

Firstly, in your response, it was stated that I was unaware of this debt and that proper notification was not received. I appreciate the acknowledgment of this fact ; however, this acknowledgment raises serious questions regarding the legality of the actions taken by Midland Credit Management. 

It was further stated in your response that this account was charged off before being sold. According to federal law, when a debt is charged off, it is considered as written off. This action brings to light a violation of IRS regulations concerning the treatment of written-off debt as income. As per the IRS 1099-C form, when a debt is written off, it is considered as income. However, under the guidelines of all three Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ), income shall not be reported to any consumer 's credit report. Thus, the reported action of charging off the debt and subsequently selling it to a collection agency constitutes a clear violation of federal law. 

This leads me to demand the immediate removal of this alleged debt from my consumer report. Not only was proper notification not provided, but the handling of this debt by Midland Credit Management has also resulted in violations of federal law. I am prepared to take legal action if necessary to ensure that my consumer rights are upheld. 

Additionally, if the reported debt is indeed accurate, I request that Midland Credit Management provide me with all signatures of individuals who verified the accuracy of this debt and details of the steps taken to verify its accuracy and the certified mail mail receipt with my signature on it. Transparency in this matter is crucial to ensuring that all legal and ethical standards are met. 

Under 15 USC 1681e ( b ), CRAs are required to ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports. If this requirement had been met, it would have been evident that income does not get reported to consumer reports, as stated on the websites of all three CRAs. Furthermore, allowing Midland Credit Management to furnish this alleged debt to my consumer report without proper notification is a direct violation of my rights. 

If this alleged debt is not promptly removed from my consumer report, and if the requested information regarding verification procedures is not provided, I am prepared to pursue legal action against Midland Credit Management for its violations of federal law and against all three CRAs for failing to ensure the accuracy of my consumer report. 

I trust that you will take the necessary steps to rectify this matter promptly and in accordance with the law. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this dispute.
