Company: RC Willey
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
RC Willey is reporting information that is not mine. They have incorrectly reported to credit bureaus and also sent it collections. XXXX XXXX XXXX which now is a double report against me. This needs to be removed from my credit report as it not correct. 

The purpose of this letter is to dispute the Collection Account that was placed on my account that states it was opened on XX/XX/year>. This charge of {$5200.00} from RC Willey. 
I have advised that this has been a case of Identity theft yet it has been reported against my credit report to XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. 
The charge has no proof or foundation and I have advised that the charge is not valid yet your company has placed the charge against me with clear notification that this is not mine. 
I am seeking that this be immediately removed as it has been clearly provided as fraud. In addition, due to this being the second or third notice I am hereby notifying the CFPB as it is a violation of the fair credit and reporting act which is being violated by your company. 
If this is not removed immediately as there is no supporting documentation to support this bill I will have no choice but to take this matter to court and request that I be paid for damages that your company has imposed to me for falsely reporting this information on my credit file. 
Due to this being fraud I have attached the FTC report and also the letter to collection which is a double negative against me.

Complaint narrative:
Since since they wrote it off on their taxes as a profit loss, they were supposed to provide me a copy of the 1099C form so that I can write it off as income .at the same time they're still reporting on my credit report that I owe them a balance. When they took a tax break for it never got a copy of the 1099C form. Under the FCRA, you can seek statutory damages if a creditor furnishes inaccurate information about a debt, such as incorrectly reporting a charge-off while still claiming you owe the debt.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the repeated failure of XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax to properly investigate and validate disputed information on my credit report, as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), codified at 15 U.S.C. 1681. Despite my numerous disputes and lawful requests for validation and verification, the credit reporting agencies have failed to provide evidence substantiating their claims and continue to report inaccurate and unverified information.

To summarize : 1.Failure to Provide Proper Validation : I requested the following documents to validate the alleged debts : Validation of the debt ( including actual accounting ) ; Verification of the claim against me ( such as a sworn affidavit or a hand-signed invoice compliant with the Bills of Exchange Act, XXXX ) ; A true and certified copy of the original contract or agreement binding both parties ; A certified copy of the original note ( credit agreement ) under penalty of perjury, confirming it has not been sold ; Confirmation of the identity of the authorized representative who performed due diligence under the Money Laundering Regulations XXXX. 
These lawful requests were ignored or inadequately addressed. Instead, I received generic responses claiming the information was verified, without any substantive evidence to support these claims. 
2.Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation when disputes are raised. Merely stating that the information was verified without providing evidence or details of the investigation constitutes a failure to meet this legal standard.

3.Reappearance of Removed Items : Items previously removed from my credit report have inexplicably reappeared, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the investigation process and adherence to proper procedures.

4.Failure to Respond in Good Faith : My repeated attempts to dispute these inaccuracies were met with dismissive responses warning me not to send further disputes. This is both inappropriate and contrary to consumer protection laws under the FCRA. 

Given the severity of these issues, I am requesting immediate action to : 1.Conduct a thorough, independent investigation into the practices of XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax in handling my disputes ; 2.Ensure compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1681i by requiring the credit reporting agencies to provide documented proof of their investigations and validations ; 3.Remove any and all unverifiable and inaccurate items from my credit reports ; 4.Impose penalties or corrective actions against the credit reporting agencies for non-compliance with FCRA standards.
