Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Request for Investigation and Deletion of Incorrect Charge-off Report I am writing to challenge and urgently request the removal of incorrect and unauthorized charge-off entries listed on my credit report by a third-party collection agency. These entries have significantly compromised my financial status, preventing me from obtaining a home mortgage, an auto loan, and additional credit lines. 
It is important to note that I have no contractual ties with this collection agency. Their reporting of charge-offs on my account, which I never authorized, lacks any legal basis and violates several laws concerning credit reporting and consumer privacy : XXXX. **Unauthorized Reporting** : Charge-offs reported on my credit are without my agreement, constituting a breach of the legal standards governing credit reporting. 
XXXX. **Failure to Furnish Form 1099-C** : The agency did not provide the Form 1099-C required for accurate tax reporting, exposing me to potential tax compliance issues.

3. **Privacy Rights Violation** : Reporting my personal financial information without consent is a direct violation of the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), which safeguards against such unauthorized disclosures.

4. **Absence of Contractual Relationship** : I have never consented to any agreement with this agency, making their report an infringement on my consumer rights.

5. **Opt-Out Rights** : I am officially opting out of all implicit permissions for the sharing or reporting of my credit information, as supported by regulations 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, 12 CFR 1016.7, 15 USC 6802 ( b ), and 15 USC 6805.

Given these concerns, I request a prompt investigation into these inaccuracies and the removal of the disputed entries from my credit report. I expect a written confirmation of these corrections. Please be advised that I am prepared to pursue further actions, including legal remedies, to correct my credit information and defend my rights. 
I appreciate your immediate attention to this critical issue and await your swift response and resolution.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint and Request for Investigation and Removal of Unauthorized Charge-off. 
I am formally disputing and request the immediate investigation and removal of unauthorized and inaccurately reported charge-off entries by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have severely affected my financial standing, disqualifying me from securing a home mortgage, an auto loan, and any lines of credit. 
It is critical to highlight that I have never entered any contractual relationship with this collection agency. Their actions to report on my credit without a direct agreement are not only baseless but also infringe upon my consumer rights, constituting a clear violation of multiple legal standards pertaining to credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The reporting of charge-offs, which are essentially certificates of indebtedness that I have never agreed upon, appears on my credit report without my authorization. This action is in direct violation of the principles that govern lawful credit reporting. 
2. **Failure to Furnish Form 1099-C** : The collection agency has also failed to provide me with a copy of Form 1099-C concerning the cancellation of debt, which is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance. This omission has potentially placed me at risk of non-compliance with IRS regulations. 
3. **Violation of Privacy Rights** : Under the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), there is a stringent protection against the unlawful disclosure of personal information. The agency 's action contravenes these legal provisions by disclosing personal financial details without my consent. 
4. **No Contractual Relationship** : As I have never signed any form of agreement with the said agency, their report constitutes a direct infringement on my rights as a consumer.

5. **Opt-Out Rights** : In accordance with the provisions of 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, and 12 CFR 1016.7 along with 15 USC 6802 ( b ) and 15 USC 6805, I am formally opting out of all authorizations, whether impliedly granted, for sharing or reporting my credit information. 
Given these points, I urge you to act swiftly in investigating these claims and remove the inaccurate charge-off entries from my credit report. I expect a written confirmation of the deletion of these entries. Please understand that I am prepared to take further steps, including legal action, if necessary, to ensure the correction of my credit information and to protect my rights. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.
