Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Request for Investigation and Deletion of Incorrect Charge-Off THD CBNA 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.

I regret to inform you that I can not accept your decision to dismiss my identity theft claim as an error or misrepresentation of material fact. It is concerning that you have taken it upon yourself to determine what qualifies as a material fact, especially considering that you do not hold the authority of a judge.

XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX SC XXXX XX/XX/2024 Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, IA XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Credit Reporting Error and Request for Immediate Correction To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a significant error in my credit report and to request immediate correction of the matter. My name is XXXX XXXX, and I have been a responsible borrower with an extensive credit history spanning over 21 years. 

The issue at hand pertains to the erroneous removal of my student loans from XXXX by Equifax, which has resulted in adverse effects on my credit score and overall financial well-being. Despite my student loans being in good standing and paid as agreed, Equifax has inaccurately omitted them from my credit report, thus significantly impacting the average age of my credit accounts and the length of my credit history. 

As per Section 609 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am entitled to accurate and up-to-date information on my credit report. It is imperative that my credit report reflects the true status of my accounts, including my student loans with XXXX, which have been faithfully serviced and maintained over the years. 

Furthermore, the removal of these accounts has led Equifax to incorrectly calculate the length of my credit history, stating that I have only had 4 years and 8 months of credit history. This is grossly inaccurate, as I have been an active and responsible borrower for nearly 22 years. 

I hereby request the following actions to be taken immediately : 1. The reinstatement of my student loans from XXXX onto my credit report, reflecting their true status as paid as agreed and in good standing. 
2. Correction of the inaccurate calculation of the length of my credit history to accurately reflect my extensive credit tenure of nearly 22 years.

3. An investigation into the oversight that led to the erroneous removal of my student loans and the implementation of measures to prevent such errors from occurring in the future. 

Additionally, I urge Equifax to consider the potential negative impact of this error on my credit score and overall financial standing. The inaccurate reporting of my credit history could result in unjust consequences, including higher interest rates, limited access to credit, and other adverse effects. 



Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to a swift resolution and the restoration of accurate information on my credit report. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
