Complaint narrative:
I. Overview This filing concerns false and fraudulent reporting by XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX ) relating to my paidinfull vehicle finance account # XXXX. 
XXXX accepted full repayment of the chargedoff balance, retained the funds, later issued a refund check due to overpayment, yet continues to report the account as a chargeoff and paid for less than full balance. 

Such reporting is false, misleading, and potentially criminal, violating both the FairCreditReportingAct ( 15U.S.C.1681etseq. ) and federal statutes prohibiting fraud and false statements. 



XXXX. Chronology of Facts XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 8.90 % APR. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX electronic transfer of {$27000.00} to XXXX ; XXXX issued a digital receipt confirming the full payoff. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX sent a written letter confirming the account was paid in full and releasing its lien on the vehicle. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX notarized release of all security interestfurther confirming full satisfaction. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX mailed a refund check for {$160.00} ( XXXX ) to correct an internal billing error. 
A refund proves an overpayment and contradicts any claim of outstanding debt. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
This creates a materially false impression that a loss occurred, when in fact XXXX was paid in full and issued a refund.

IV.Analysis XXXX can not both accept full payment and classify the same account as a loss. 
By issuing a refund years later, XXXX acknowledges overpayment, thereby disproving any settlementforlessthanowed. 
Continuing to report a chargeoff despite full restitution is knowingly deceptive and financially harmful to the consumer. 
Such behavior manipulates accounting treatment and consumer credit data simultaneouslypotentially to XXXX  financial advantage.
