Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because several credit reporting agencies and/or creditors have failed to respond to my formal dispute letters within the 30-day timeframe required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 611 ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) .

I submitted written disputes regarding inaccurate or unverifiable information on my credit report, and included all supporting documentation. According to the FCRA, these agencies are required to investigate and respond within 30 days. As of today, I have not received any response or resolution.

This lack of response violates my rights under federal law, and I am requesting that the CFPB take appropriate action to enforce compliance. I am also attaching copies of the dispute letters I sent, along with proof of mailing and dates, to support my complaint.

Complaint narrative:
I was reviewing my credit report back in XXXX and was horrified to see that this company remained on my report dispute my direct dispute with them. The continued presence of this account violates multiple sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other federal consumer protection laws. I am requesting urgent enforcement action to correct this unlawful reporting. 

They are reporting a third-party collection account to all three major credit bureaus under my name without my consent, contract, or proper validation. Despite previously disputing this item, it has been marked as verified without fulfilling FCRA obligations. I have never signed a contract with this company, and I never authorized any other company to share or assign my account. 

They have not issued IRS Form 1099-C for the alleged debt, which may have been charged off or forgiven. Under 26 U.S. Code 6050P, debt collectors and creditors are required to issue this form when canceling or discharging a debt over {$600.00}.

Failure to issue this form suggests improper classification of the debt and raises legal concerns about the legitimacy of the account. This further supports that the account is unverifiable and must be deleted. 

The reported balance is {$18000.00}, with a date opened of XX/XX/XXXX and last reported on XX/XX/XXXX. The account remains active and derogatory, despite being disputed and unverified. 

Violations Identified : FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) : No signed contract or validation ever provided FCRA 604 ( b ) : No permissible purpose to report the tradeline FCRA 607 ( b ) : Still reporting inaccurate and incomplete data FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) : Previously disputed, yet still inaccurate = must be deleted FCRA 605B : Reporting of fraudulent or unauthorized information FDCPA 809 ( b ) : Debt not validated upon request UCC 1-308 : Unauthorized commercial use of my personal data 26 U.S. Code 6050P : Creditors are required to issue this form when discharging or canceling debts over {$600.00}.

Supporting Facts : I submitted a notarized affidavit of truth stating no contract exists Filed an FTC report Screenshot of credit report showing account details and dispute notation

Company: CAINE & WEINER COMPANY, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I paid a collection account managed by Caine & Weiner in full. The account was subsequently marked as " Paid, Closed '' on my XXXX  credit report. 

However, despite the account being closed and paid, it is still listed as a collection/derogatory account on my credit report as of XX/XX/year> This continued reporting is misleading and unfairly damaging my credit profile, especially since the debt has been satisfied and closed. I previously contacted XXXX  and Caine & Weiner to correct this reporting or request a goodwill removal, but the status has not changed beyond being marked " closed. '' I am requesting that the account be accurately updated to reflect that it is no longer a collection account, or be removed altogether as a goodwill deletion, given that it has been resolved and is no longer active. 

Please investigate and help resolve this issue.
