Complaint narrative:
" After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information.

Complaint narrative:
My wife and I have a mortgage with XXXX XXXX. We've never paid late. My WIFE filed for XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy in XXXX. I personally did not file bankruptcy. When my WIFE 'S bankruptcy was approved, XXXX XXXX  removed the mortgage account from MY credit file. This caused MY credit score to drop over 100 points. All MY credit cards cut my lines of credit so now it looks like my cards are maxed out. Some of my lines got closed out when they periodically check your credit and saw my credit score drop. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX  when I saw the mortgage account removed from my credit file. They transferred me to their bankruptcy department. I was told that this is their policy when someone on a mortgage file for bankruptcy. This CAN NOT be an acceptable practice. I've never been late on my mortgage, and I want it added back on my credit file.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the issuance of IRS Form 1099-C in relation to the cancellation of debt that has occurred with my account. After a thorough review of my records, it is clear that a significant portion of the debt has been forgiven or canceled, yet I have not received the corresponding Form 1099-C, as required by the IRS.

According to IRS guidelines, creditors are obligated to issue a 1099-C form when a debt is canceled or forgiven in an amount of {$600.00} or more. The timely issuance of this form is essential for tax reporting purposes, and failure to provide it could lead to inaccuracies in my tax filings, potentially subjecting me to penalties or additional liabilities.

I respectfully dispute the lack of compliance with this legal requirement and request that the 1099-C form be sent to me promptly. Please respond to this request within 30 days, as required by federal law, to avoid further escalation of this matter. I hope to resolve this issue amicably and without the need for additional action. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response. 

Sincerely, XXXXXXXX XXXX
