Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CO)

Subject : Urgent Request for Investigation and Deletion of Incorrect Charge-Off XXXX XXXX I am contacting you to formally challenge and seek immediate investigation and removal of incorrect charge-off entries made by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have severely impacted my financial standing, hindering my ability to secure a home mortgage, an auto loan, and additional credit facilities. 
I wish to highlight that I have no contractual ties with this collection agency. Their actions of reporting my credit information without any contractual basis are unjustified and breach multiple legal norms concerning credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The reported charge-offs, which suggest debts I do not recognize, have been documented on my credit report without my agreement, violating established principles of lawful credit reporting, also referred to as certificates of indebtedness.

2. **Absence of Form 1099-C** : I was not provided with Form 1099-C for debt cancellation by the agency, which is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance with IRS requirements. This omission could lead to potential risks of tax non-compliance.

3. **Infringement of Privacy Rights** : This action violates the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), which ensures stringent safeguards against the unauthorized release of personal information.

4. **Lack of Contractual Agreement** : There is no formal contract between myself and the agency, thus their reporting of my credit information directly infringes on my consumer rights.

5. **Exercising Opt-Out Rights** : In accordance with regulations under 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, 12 CFR 1016.7, 15 USC 6802 ( b ), and 15 USC 6805, I am formally revoking any implied permissions for the dissemination or reporting of my credit information. 
Given these concerns, I urgently request a review and elimination of these incorrect records from my credit report, and I ask for a written confirmation of this deletion. Please note that I am prepared to take further actions, including legal recourse, to rectify my credit report and protect my rights.

Subject : Urgent Complaint and Request for Removal of Improper Charge-off XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am writing to formally contest and demand a prompt investigation and deletion of improper charge-off entries reported by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have significantly damaged my financial reputation, preventing me from obtaining a home mortgage, an auto loan, and additional credit lines. 
It's important to note that I have never had a contractual agreement with this collection agency. Their reporting of my credit data without a contractual relationship is not only unfounded but also violates several legal standards regarding credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The charge-offs reported, which are effectively claims of debt I have not acknowledged, are listed on my credit report without my consent, clearly breaching established rules of lawful credit reporting. Also know as certificates of indebtedness.

2. **Failure to Provide Form 1099-C** : The agency did not supply me with Form 1099-C for debt cancellation, crucial for correct tax filing and IRS compliance. This failure exposes me to potential tax non-compliance risks.

3. **Violation of Privacy Rights** : This reporting breaches the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), which offers strict protections against unauthorized disclosure of personal data.

4. **No Contractual Relationship** : There is no formal agreement between me and the agency, making their credit reporting a direct violation of my consumer rights.

5. **Opt-Out Rights** : Per regulations under 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, 12 CFR 1016.7, 15 USC 6802 ( b ), and 15 USC 6805, I am officially withdrawing any implied consents for sharing or reporting my credit information.

Considering these issues, I request an immediate review and removal of these erroneous entries from my credit report, along with written confirmation of this removal. Please be advised that I am ready to pursue further action, including legal measures, to correct my credit information and defend my rights.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this critical issue and await your swift action and response.
