Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX  and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

Company: Self Financial Inc. (GA)

Subject : Urgent Request for Removal of Unauthorized and Unverifiable Item from Credit Report Dear Self Financial, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unauthorized reporting of items on my credit report by your agency. I have never provided consent for Self Financial to access my credit report, and this infringement on my privacy raises serious concerns of identity fraud. 

I want to emphasize that even in cases of permissible purpose, the consumer 's consent is paramount, as outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( B ). Additionally, Georgia state law, under Georgia Fair Business Practices Act ( O.C.G.A. 10-1-390 et seq. ), requires consumer consent for such activities. I have not granted permission for the inclusion of this item within my consumer profile, rendering the reported item unverifiable.

Unless Self Financial has a court order or my explicit consent, you do not have permissible purpose to report on my credit. I do not consent to such actions, and I expect compliance with this requirement.

I demand the immediate removal of this unauthorized and unverifiable item from my credit report, in accordance with FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and relevant Georgia state laws. I assert my right to have this matter resolved within 30 days from the receipt of this complaint, as mandated by FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) i ) and corresponding Georgia statutes. Failure to comply within this timeframe will be considered willful noncompliance, in violation of FCRA Section 616 and Georgia state law.

Additionally, I request that Self Financial provides a written document from me, the consumer, that explicitly grants permission for your agency to access my consumer profile, as required by FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) and Georgia law. This document should be submitted promptly.

I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves, in compliance with both federal and Georgia state laws. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and expect a resolution within the stipulated timeframe.

Done in good faith.

I submitted a complaint to the CFPB -- XXXX. Bank of America responded that they needed more time to investigate. Bank of America sent a very short two paragraph response to me flatley stating the information on my report is correct. Bank of America did not send the response to the CFPB. Bank of America did violate a settlement agreement by failing to correct the credit reporting per the settlement agreement, and instead completely deleted the entry, per the original complaint. This complaint also alleges that Bank of America used the response that it needed additional time to respond to sidestep having to respond to the CFPB about the complaint, avoiding a response to the CFPB entirely.
