Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of an inaccurately reported charged-off account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report. The account in question is being inaccurately reported in violation of the Internal Revenue Code and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. According to the Internal Revenue Code, charged-off accounts are considered certificates of indebtedness and should be classified as income. As income can not be reported on a consumer report as a debt, the current reporting of this account constitutes inaccurate and misleading information on my credit report. Additional there are two different amounts listed in collections, which also proves inaccurate information. The specific sections of law that support my claim include : Internal Revenue Code Section 61 ( a ) : This section defines gross income, including income from discharge of indebtedness. A charged-off debt should be reported as income, not as an outstanding debt. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) : This section mandates that furnishers of information, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, must not report information that they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Section 1692e : This section prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading representations in connection with the collection of any debt. Additionally, I have not received the Form 1099-C, which is required for me to properly remit my taxes for the discharge of this debt. This oversight further emphasizes the inaccuracies in the reporting of this account.

Complaint narrative:
I was shocked to find inaccurate accounts on my credit report this morning, and I have no clue how they got there. I always check my report regularly, but this time there were random discrepancies. I even tried refreshing the page thinking it was just a glitch, but nothing changed. The wrong accounts stayed there. Given this situation, I need the documents I've sent to be reviewed carefully so I can stop worrying about this once and for all.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: HW Holding, Inc
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted multiple times since 2018 to dispute the accuracy of the amount owed with the collection agency and with the actual rental company XXXX XXXX, prior to the amount being brought to legal action which led to dispossessory. The company refused to provide accurate payment history documents and charges added on to account. XXXX did not properly notify me of the court date which led to me not being able to appear in court and the court did a default judgement. They closed my account and prevented me from accessing payment history and detailed items of charges. The rental company was backcharging for utilities without explanation and did not have a proper and accurate bookkeeping system/manager who was responsible for handling charges. The amount that was reported to be owed was increased substantially with no explanation to why. When the rental company XXXX XXXX sold the debt to Hunter Warfield they reported an inaccurate amount from the original inaccurate amount that was submitted to the XXXX XXXX XXXX. Hunter Warfield representative threatened they would garnish wages or sue if i was unable to pay back the wrong amount reported.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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 to be updated. 


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. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX 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

I am in year XXXX of interest only. Shellpoint changed it to XXXX  years at XXXX XXXX at {$420.00} a month. Then the next month they changed it to a XXXX year loan at XXXX  % at {$870.00} a month! Now the XXXX statement ( received the XXXX, due the XXXX ) shows XXXX for XXXX ( and a late fee because i didnt budget for it and couldnt pay it ) XXXX XXXX payment is XXXXXXXX I sent a letter. Nothing has been fixed. The XXXX reps are clueless and make stuff up as they go. After calling several times I am convinced they are using stalling tactics. They sent a letter stating they are requesting original loan documents which means they are making up numbers!

Company: V and H Portfolio
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Upon checking my consumer file in XX/XX/2024, I realized I had a collection account from Vance & Huffman. I was unaware of the debt because I never received notification from this agency about the debt per the FCRA. I then sent a verification of debt to this agency requesting the original contract of the debt I was suppose to owe. They responded with a letter saying I owe a debt for {$4000.00} for the original creditor XXXX XXXX. This isn't verifying a debt. That's just a bill. I responded back around XX/XX/2024 with a letter stating I need to see the original contract or itemized statement of the debt along with my signature. I'm still waiting on their response. I have said this with the other collection agencies who have tried to collect on this debt. No one has been able to show that this is my debt. They have the wrong person and the wrong DOB and Social for me. Vance & Huffman didn't even have my address until I sent out a validation of debt letter to them. Vance & Huffman has placed inaccurate and negative information on my consumer file and I would it removed immediately. Their actions by not following the law to report debt is fraudulent.
