Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a charged-off vehicle loan for which the remaining balance is being inaccurately reported on my credit report. 

The vehicle was repossessed in XXXX, and I received a 1099-C dated XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$12000.00}, which I properly claimed as income on my XXXX taxes. After this, the account was removed from my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. However, it was later reinserted, and is now showing a balance of {$490.00}, which has caused my credit score to drop by XXXX points. 

I had also submitted a dispute regarding the last payment date, which they incorrectly listed as XX/XX/XXXX. The correct last payment was XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX is likely when the car was sold at auction. Reporting the last payment as XXXX inaccurately extends the timeline for when this account should fall off my credit report by about four months. This dispute was denied without any documentation or verification.

Most concerning is the fact that after I disputed the last payment date, they added the {$490.00} balance back onto the account, despite having issued a 1099-C for the full charge-off amount. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), if a debt is reinserted after removal, the furnisher is required to notify the consumer within five business daysI was not notified. Additionally, reporting a balance after issuing a 1099-C is potentially inaccurate and misleading, as it implies the debt is still collectible when it was canceled and taxed as income.

I was alarmed to find these inaccurate late payment remarks on my credit report this morning without any explanation. As part of my routine, I reviewed my report, but this time, I noticed discrepancies that hadnt been there before. Hoping it was just a system glitch, I refreshed my browser, yet the errors persisted. Because of this, I am requesting a thorough verification of the documents I have provided so that I can put this issue behind me.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding inaccurate and potentially harmful information being reported on my credit report by Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Despite my attempts to resolve this directly with the bureau and the furnishing party, the disputed information remains on my file, negatively affecting my creditworthiness and financial well-being.

The entry in question is not only incorrect but also misleading, and I believe it does not comply with the standards set forth by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I have taken reasonable steps to dispute the item ( s ) and provided supporting documentation ; however, no adequate investigation appears to have been conducted, nor has the error been corrected. 

As a consumer, I take my financial obligations seriously, and I understand the importance of accurate credit reporting. Unfortunately, the current situation has led to unnecessary stress and difficulty in accessing financial services that I would otherwise qualify for.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing an account reported by Jefferson Capital Systems in the amount of {$480.00} on my XXXX credit report. This is not my account. I do not recognize it, I never opened it, and I have no relationship with Jefferson Capital Systems. This account is inaccurate, and its presence on my credit file is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Per FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), XXXX is required to conduct a reasonable investigation of any disputed information and remove unverifiable or inaccurate data. Per FCRA 607 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), XXXX is also required to ensure maximum possible accuracy in all consumer credit reporting.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, FL. During the financing process, I was told by the dealership that I had no credit score, which led to them placing me into a high-interest loan through Santander at a 17 % APR. At no point was I shown my actual credit report or offered a co-signer option. 

Since then, Ive confirmed through all three major bureaus XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX that I did in fact have established credit scores at the time of purchase ( ranging from XXXX to XXXX ). I also have a recorded phone call with XXXX confirming that the dealership made a hard inquiry on my credit, which proves they were aware of my actual score. 

I believe I was misled or falsely informed about my credit status in order to push me into a predatory loan. I was never presented with other loan offers, lower rates, or given the opportunity to use a co-signer despite my mother being willing and available to help. Additionally, multiple add-on products were included in the contract without proper explanation or consent : GAP coverage, a vehicle service contract, and appearance/windshield protection. I submitted a formal cancellation request within the 60-day window, but only partial refunds were issued. 

At the time of the sale, I was struggling with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, which impaired my ability to process what was being signed. I felt pressure from the salesperson to leave a review immediately after the deal and submitted a 4-star rating under pressure. This experience has caused significant financial stress, especially now that Im trying to refinance and was told the current payoff ( {$25000.00} ) is well above the vehicles estimated value ( {$19000.00} ). 

I am requesting an investigation into these practices, which I believe were deceptive and predatory, and I am seeking appropriate financial remedies.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
