Consumer complaint received 2024-08-19 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed a charge off of an account ending in XXXX with Capital One several times. I have requested that this account be removed from my credit report. Not only have I negotiated payment but I have also requested a 1099-C with no response to this request. Capital One has consistently refused to cooperate with my request. When a debt is charged off, the lender is to provide the consumer with a 1099-C. This is the result of the charge-off becoming income and income can not be reported as debt. 

Taxable income When a debt is settled after a charge-off, the difference between what you owed and what you settled for may be considered taxable income1. The IRS considers any canceled or forgiven debt as income, and you are required to report it on your tax return for that XXXX. Deeming an account a charge-off allows the creditor to write off the loss of the debt on their taxes, rather than count it as potential income4. The forgiven amount is treated as gained income, for which you should pay income taxes.

This reporting of a charge-off is inaccurate, which makes my reporting inaccurate. 
Per the 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures, section b states as follows : ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

I have been disputing this since XX/XX/year>. Please find attached my settlement letter, the email sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX, CEO of Capital One on behalf of the inaccurate credit reporting. I have also filed several disputes with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX in reference to this inaccurate reporting and they have always come back verified. I have exhausted all measures of solving this on my own.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
The company is called Allegro Credit. They provided financing for the purchase of my piano from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  located in XXXX, MD. They have since been acquired by Synchrony Bank. So now they are known as Alllegro Credit, by Synchrony Bank. 
They do not provide monthly account statements. Not only that. But when I did ask for a statement they did not provide me a statement. And instead they provided me a list of my transaction history. And that proved to me that they were also charging me interest after each installment payment I made. Is that right? Are they supposed to charge me interest after each loan payment? 

My main concern is that they do not provide monthly statements, which I did not know was illegal until XXXX just informed me of that fact this afternoon.

And when I called them to get a statement they reluctantly stated that they dont provide monthly statements. And instead they said they would send my transaction history, or payment history, as I only have one loan with them and am current and have always made automatic payments to them on time.

And I have a funny feeling they are not reporting my excellent payment history to the credit bureaus.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Company: Asset Recovery Bureau LLC
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I had a loan that was placed to multiple creditors. Ive been working with the other companies it went to and was told to stop payments until it was straightened. I had previously paid to these people, but stopped when I realized I was paying multiple people on the same loan. This company has been very XXXX  and downright illegal about it though. They didnt want to hear that the loan was with different people and failed to provide information such as when they got the account and other things that the other companies provided. One company in particular was great and super professional, trying to do this ethically and get to the bottom of it. ARB has been the complete opposite. Calling and emailing at all hours of the day, failing to provide me with information, and failing to find out why they are collecting on a loan I dont own anymore. The language is unprofessional, rude, and they clearly have no idea whats going on. The fact they are still trying to collect on a debt they know is being paid multiple times should be a huge red flag in and of itself. Very shady company. Ive attached proof of XXXX handling the account and them still trying to contact me with a settlement offer ( both the email and settlement offer attachment ) AFTER the fact. You can see the account numbers from the original loan match exactly and amount is the same. Seeing as the newest company took possession of the debt XX/XX/year>, they are probably trying to collect illegally on a debt they dont own anymore.

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern : I was previously a customer of XXXX XXXX for internet service. Early in the year, I terminated my service with XXXX  and switched to a different provider. XXXX  billed me for my last month of service even though I was no longer receiving service from XXXX. I disputed the charge, {$100.00} through my credit card company, XXXX, and was successful in getting XXXX to reverse the charges. I recently discovered via my credit report alert, that XXXX transferred the debt to a collection agency, Credit Management LP, and added a derogatory mark on my credit report. 

I called Credit Management LP to inquire about the debt, yet they did not provide any more information and instead said to contact XXXX.
