On XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX XXXX put my XXXX XXXX account into collections. They put it into collections because XXXX XXXX was in a company corporate name that wasn't personally guaranteed. This account never belonged on my credit in the first place. They took my consumer information and placed it on my credit report and that's not what should have happened. 

16 CFR 313.7 15 usc 6802 Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I am now opting out of any and all authorizations I the consumer may have given you written, unwritten, verbally and non verbally per 15 USC 6802 it is effective immediately andindefinitely.

Since the debt is now with a third-party collection agency, it has already been charged off. As outlined in Tax Topic 431, this represents a certificate of indebtedness, which is categorized as income. It's important to note that income is not reportable on my credit report.

" If your debt is forgiven or discharged for less than the full amount owed, the debt is considered canceled for the forgiven or discharged amount that you no longer need to pay. Cancellation of a debt may occur if the creditor can't collect, or gives up on collecting, the amount you're obligated to pay. If you own property securing a debt, cancellation of the debt may occur due to foreclosure, repossession, voluntary transfer of the property to the lender, abandonment of the property, or a mortgage modification.

I am writing to convey my deep annoyance and dissatisfaction with how your bureau has managed my identity theft disputes. Despite my repeated attempts to resolve this issue, I have encountered a frustrating lack of responsiveness and action from your side. I was the victim & I'm not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. XXXX very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. 

As a victim of identity theft, I have faced numerous challenges, both financial and emotional, due to unauthorized accounts and transactions appearing on my credit report. I reported these fraudulent activities to your bureau and submitted all the necessary documents and detailed explanations, to substantiate my claims and establish my innocence. 

However, it has been an exceptionally long period since I initially raised these disputes, and I have yet to receive a satisfactory response or resolution. This delay has not only caused me considerable stress but has also resulted in tangible negative consequences for my financial well-being. I have encountered denied credit applications, higher interest rates, and relentless harassment from debt collectors, all stemming from inaccuracies on my credit report. 

XXXX XXXX I implore your bureau to take immediate and comprehensive action concerning my identity theft disputes. I insist that you prioritize my case, conduct a thorough investigation, and expeditiously remove the fraudulent accounts and transactions from my credit report. I also request a clearly defined timeline for resolution and regular updates on the progress of my dispute. 

As a consumer, I believe it is my right to have my concerns addressed promptly and diligently. Should your bureau fail to provide a satisfactory response within a reasonable timeframe, I am fully prepared to seek legal counsel and escalate this matter to the appropriate regulatory authorities to ensure that justice is served.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

This is an ongoing issue with Regions Bank. 

1. When an overdraft has happened they will charge {$35.00} for each overdraft instead of per day. If I make a deposit on any given day they will take out their overdraft fee before making the deposit even when submitted on same day. Things are tight right now and them charging a {$100.00} over and over does not help. I can't get caught up.

2. If there is not enough money in my account, why are they approving the charge only to charge me overdraft fees.

I realize I am responsible but {$200.00} is overdraft charges and fees in just a few days is an unfair practice.
