Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the inaccurate and incorrect information that EXETER FINANCE LLC also known as EXETER FIN has furnished to consumer reporting agencies regarding my account. Your reporting of this account has caused severe harm to my reputation, financial standing, and overall ability to obtain credit for personal and household purposes. As such, you are in direct violation of federal law.

Legal Violations Regarding Inaccurate Reporting Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 - Responsibilities of Furnishers of Information to Consumer Reporting Agencies, you are prohibited from reporting inaccurate information. Specifically : 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

By continuing to report this account inaccurately, you are knowingly violating the law and are subject to enforcement actions.

IRS Classification of Charge-Offs and Its Impact on Credit Reporting The IRS explicitly classifies a charge-off as canceled debt, which is considered gross income for the borrower. According to IRS Publication 4681 : " A canceled debt must be reported as gross income, and the creditor is required to issue a Form 1099-C for any canceled debt over {$600.00}. '' Since a charge-off is legally classified as income, it is inaccurate and unlawful to continue reporting this account as an outstanding liability or unpaid debt on my credit report. This misclassification of a charge-off as a still-due debt constitutes false and misleading reporting, and as such, the account must be removed from my credit file immediately.

Unlawful Double Compensation and Potential Fraud Furthermore, your institution has likely collected : 1. Insurance payouts built into the finance charge, which protect lenders against borrower default ( per the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. 1605 ( a ) ).

2. Tax deductions from the IRS for the charged-off amount, as charge-offs are written off as losses.

3. Payment from third-party debt buyers, who likely purchased the account for collection.

If Exeter Finance LLC has received multiple forms of compensation ( insurance payout, tax benefits, and debt sale proceeds ) while continuing to report this account negatively on my credit report, this may constitute insurance fraud, tax fraud, and unfair debt collection practices all of which will be included in my formal complaints.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
JPMorgan Chase Bank filed a lawsuit against me in XXXX XXXX, Florida ( Case # XXXX ) and obtained a final judgment for {$5500.00}. 

My credit report shows the account was charged off and closed in XX/XX/XXXX as a profit and loss write-off. This usually indicates the account was sold or transferred to a third party, which would mean JPMorgan Chase no longer had legal standing to collect or sue on the debt. 

Despite this, Chase proceeded with the lawsuit through their attorneys ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ), resulting in a judgment. This appears to be a false representation of ownership and legal authority, which may violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1692e Prohibits the use of any false, deceptive, or misleading representation in connection with the collection of any debt.

1692e ( 2 ) ( A ) Specifically forbids misrepresenting the character, amount, or legal status of any debt.

1692e ( 10 ) Bans using any false representation or deceptive means to collect or attempt to collect a debt.

Suing a consumer on a debt you no longer legally own qualifies as a misrepresentation of the legal status of that debt which courts have ruled to be a direct violation of these FDCPA provisions.

Additionally, I signed a settlement stipulation under emotional stress, without counsel, and without a full understanding of my legal rights or the fact that I could dispute ownership and demand validation of the debt.

I also submitted a written response to the court through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal on XX/XX/XXXX, objecting to the claim and asking to be heard. However, the court issued a Final Judgment on XX/XX/XXXX, without acknowledging my filing or giving me a fair hearing which amounts to a denial of due process.

I respectfully request the CFPB investigate whether JPMorgan Chase : Misrepresented their legal right to collect on or sue for this debt Violated FDCPA protections by suing on a debt they may have sold Failed to properly validate ownership before taking legal action Denied me the ability to fairly dispute or respond to the claim in court I have attached screenshots of my credit report showing the charge-off and account closure as supporting evidence.
