Subject : Urgent Request for Investigation and Deletion of Incorrect Charge-Off FORTIVA 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.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

I have a loan with Kia Finance America. Paymentd were toward a 70 month contract, amounting to XXXX dollars monthly. There was a no payment interest free period, expired XX/XX/2023. During the interest free no payment period, I made several payments towards the principal alone. Kia finance has processed a payment of XXXX made XX/XX/2023 and applied the whole amount to interest fees, less XXXX they applied toward the principal. Kia Finance America is collecting interest instead of principal and interest payments, lengthening the loan timeframe and increasing the loan payments. I tried calling them to dispute this, they hung up on me. 4 times.

All bureaus have most of my old addresses on them not just my current one. I have tried to remedy this online and get the message to call in. I then call and wait on extremely long holds, or get transferred around and another time was told to print a request form and mail it in. They don't make the process easy or quick. Credit repair can be a lengthy process and getting the run around by the bureaus just isn't fair.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MD)

I came across an offer from Bank of America for a credit card with low balance transfer rate so I decided to sign up for one on XX/XX/2024. I was approved that same day. 

When I sign into my new credit card account, balance transfer isn't available to use, and system keeps telling me to contact the customer service. Fast forward the next few days, I received a notice saying that my new account is completely restricted for unknown reason, it just gave me a number to call. I reached out to BoFA, the rep didn't provide much help except he said the system doesn't even let him do anything or verify me using my phone number and it's a mess. This incompetence from BoFA now requires me to travel 30 miles away to a branch to see someone in their office to get my credit card unlocked. It is a hassle because their service hours are between 8-5 and those days I can't take off work to get their problem resolved for my account. I asked the rep to just cancel my application then but he refused. BoFA is playing with my credit and keeping it XXXX. Either unlock my credit card account and let me use the balance transfer as advertised or cancel it and revert the impact on my credit.
