Complaint narrative:
I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, XXXX has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. 

Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. 

I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. 

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. 
The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. 

I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.

Company: Mercedes Benz Financial Services
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Mercedes-Benz Financial and XXXX credit reporting agencies XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. Mercedes-Benz Financial has XXXX to provide the IRS XXXX XXXX as requested for both of my accounts, and the credit reporting agencies have allowed the continued improper reporting of these charged-off debts on my credit report. Despite knowing the correct classification and financial implications of a charge-off as defined by the IRS, XXXX have not taken the necessary steps to correct this reporting. 

A charge-off is recognized as a taxable event, which should be reported as income according to IRS guidelines XXXX However, there is no category on my credit report for income earned or taxes filed, nor has there ever been. If the IRS considers charge-offs as taxable income, it is unclear why these charge-offs continue to be reported on my credit report, especially when such reporting misrepresents their true nature and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Background : I sent a letter requesting a copy of XXXX XXXX  for debts associated with my accounts XXXX & XXXX which has been reported as " charged off. '' According to IRS XXXX XXXX, a charge-off is recognized as a taxable event that should result in the issuance of a XXXX XXXXXXXX to reflect the cancellation of debt income. 

Additionally, I have noticed that this account continues to be reported on my credit report as a " charge-off '' on a monthly basis, as if it were a new account with current charges. This ongoing reporting is not only misleading but also inaccurately reflects the account as generating new charges each month. 

Issues : Failure to Provide XXXX XXXXXXXX : The creditor has not provided the required Form XXXX, which is necessary for me to accurately report any canceled debt income to the IRS. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX : The account is being reported as a " charge-off '' every month, which implies continuous new charges, despite the fact that a charge-off is a one-time taxable event that is now being reported as income in which I have filed and have attached proof. This reporting inaccurately portrays the account status and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

XXXX XXXX Implications : Since a charge-off is considered a taxable event reflecting income, this account should no longer be reported on my credit report nor as an ongoing charge-offs. Continuing to report these accounts as an active charge-offs suggests that these debts are still accruing, which is incorrect and constitutes a violation of the FCRA, as it misrepresents the now true nature of the debts.

Complaint narrative:
My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX  and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports XXXX
