Company: Eastern Account Systems of Connecticut, Inc. (DC)

I have not received a 1099-C form from the original creditor, which would indicate that the debt was cancelled or forgiven. Without this form, I believe it is inaccurate and unfair to report it as a write-off on my credit report per code 6050p of the Internal Revenue Service . 

As a responsible borrower, I have always made an effort to pay my debts on time and in full. Therefore, it is particularly distressing to have a write-off reported on my credit report, especially when I have not received any notification or documentation indicating that the debt has been cancelled or forgiven. 

I request that you investigate this matter and remove the write-off from my credit report until proper documentation is provided. Please provide me with a written response detailing the actions taken to resolve this dispute.

Company: Atlantic Credit & Finance, Inc. (TN)

I was contacted by Atlantic Credit & Finance on today XX/XX/XXXX. The call was humiliating and harassing because the person I spoke with forced/coerced me to tell why I couldn't make the payment. He consistently asked about my personal life regarding why I couldn't make payments. I told him that I did not want to continue the conversation about my personal issues. I wanted to talk about rectifying the payment. He said he couldn't help me until I tell him the reason why I stop paying on the card. This went on for about 30 minutes. He put me on hold and then his manager got on the phone and said the exact same thing to me. I practically begged both of them to end the conversation because I was in tears. Both of them continue with no concern. I stayed on the phone with them for almost an hour and still no payment arrangement was made when the call ended. I felt ashamed that I had to disclose this information. The amount of the debt balance is {$1800.00}. I received communication via XXXX XXXX  as well. The letter disclosed that I could mail payments. The rep told me that I could not mail the payment in unless I send them {$900.00}. The letter also states that I could make biweekly payments as low as {$25.00}. I was not offered this amount as an arrangement.
