Complaint narrative:
In XXXX. I joined XXXX others for a trip to XXXX, XXXX. We had prearranged transportation but for the return trip to the airport the transfer did not show up so we asked the doorman at XXXX XXXX XXXX to call a cab. He asked would it be cash or credit. WE said credit. 
Once we got in the taxi, I gave the driver my XXXXXXXX XXXX He swiped it several times and said the card reader was not working. I gave him my Citi card and he said the same thing. So, we gave him cash, which was between {$25.00} and {$45.00}. Rushing to get to the airport I did not get a receipt for the cash. While at the airport I got a call from XXXX that they noticed suspicious activity on the card. I explained what happened they was told they would back me when I filed a dispute. I never heard from Citi. 
When I returned home, some days later i discovered that the drive had indeed charged {$450.00} to XXXX and more than {$500.00} to Citi! I disputed both. I have not any acceptable resolution. XXXX accepted an XXXX for my signature XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ) so I would never use an XXXX Citi never produced any proof but unbelievably is taking the side of the taxi co. A luxury XXXX XXXX might be {$96.00} or so dollars to how can I get charged on two different cards for more than {$1000.00} for a ride to the airport? That's is fraudulent use of my card and theft by deception. I had always believed and was told that in such cases a credit card company would back you. they don't. A Citi rep even told me it was on me because " you did give him the card and you did get a ride to the airport. '' which makes no sense and is insulting at best. ( listen to the calls, they're recorded. ) I have explained what happened over and over ( you never get the same person twice. ) In both cases I was told it would be turned over to fraud and it never is. When I call the check I find out that the person never did what they said they were going to do in elevating this to fraud and deception. Citi has been especially bad. They never called to even report suspicious activity. nothing stood out for a {$500.00} plus taxi ride?? Seriously? I have even suggested they credit companies talk to each other and see where it clearly does not make sense. Citi said they don't do that and one rep even said nothing could be done basically because it was in XXXX, but Cit is a global firm, so that doesn't make sense. I have a Citi Costco Executive Card.

Company: NCB Management Services Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding a charged-off account that continues to be reported on my credit report, despite qualifying as income under IRS guidelines XXXX The reporting of this account without the issuance of a 1099-C form is both misleading and a violation of my rights under federal law. 

Background The account in question was charged off by the creditor, which legally classifies the balance as canceled debt and, therefore, taxable income under the Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) 6050P. According to this provision, creditors are required to issue a 1099-C form for canceled debts exceeding {$600.00}, allowing the debtor to report it as income to the IRS. However, I have not received a 1099-C for this account, yet the creditor continues to report the balance to the credit reporting agencies as an active charge-off. 

Legal Basis for Complaint Violation of IRC 6050P- The Internal Revenue Code mandates that creditors report canceled debts exceeding {$600.00} to the IRS and provide debtor with a 1099-C form. The failure to issue this form not only prevents me from properly reporting my taxable income but also raises concerns about the creditor 's adherence to federal law. 

Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Creditors and furnishers are obligated to report accurate information to credit reporting agencies. Reporting a charged-off account as delinquent without issuing the legally required 1099-C creates an inconsistency between the IRS classification and the creditor 's reporting practices, constituting inaccurate reporting under the FCRA.

Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ) 1036 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) : It is considered an unfair, deceptive, or abusive act or practice ( UDAAP ) to report a charged-off account as collectible or delinq

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.
