Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
This company is engaging in securities fraud by unlawfully using my identity to extort me, and they have falsely reported a charge-off on my account. Under IRS regulations, specifically 26 U.S. Code 61 ( a ) ( 12 ), a charge-off or cancellation of debt ( COD ) is considered taxable income. The IRS requires that any forgiven debt over {$600.00} be reported as income using Form 1099-C, " Cancellation of Debt, '' unless certain exemptions apply. By misreporting this charge-off as merely a negative credit item without acknowledging the income implications, the company is violating both IRS tax reporting requirements and SEC regulations governing financial disclosures under Section 10 ( b ) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, which prohibits fraudulent financial misrepresentations. Given these violations, the charge-off must be deleted from my credit report, as it inaccurately reflects the financial transaction and misrepresents taxable income.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Problem with paying off the loan
Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
After a total loss on a new car I financed through Mazda Financial Services, I received a letter dated XX/XX/year>, noting that after receiving a payment from State Farm, I owe {$290.00} to close out the account, and that it was due within 30 days of the date of the notice ( i.e., on or around XX/XX/XXXX ). I went and logged in to the Mazda Financial Services website to make the payment, and have no options to make a payment because Mazda removed all of those options which had previously existed ( i.e. Make a Payment, AutoPay, etc. ). Therefore, I need to mail a check in, which seems unreasonable since I had set up autopay for my car payments. However, today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I was alerted by my credit card company that on XX/XX/year>, my credit report was hit with a delinquent account report by Mazda Financial Services. This is in direct disregard of their mailed notice giving me 30 days to pay {$290.00}, is unreasonable, predatory, and inappropriate. I have never had a delinquent payment on any account for well over a decade, and am not even delinquent on this account as Mazda Financial Services did not bother sending me a notice of the final balance due until 3 days before they hit me with a delinquent report. Meanwhile the website has not been allowing me to make a payment, and until recently was still reflecting the full car loan balance without the insurance company payment applied. Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.
