Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the validity of the account referenced above, which has been reported to my credit file. I believe this account is inaccurate and does not comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Inaccurate Reporting ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) : Under the FCRA, I am entitled to accurate information being reported. The details of this account are not correct, and I request that you provide verification of the debt.

Consumer Reporting Information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ) ) : I assert that your reporting does not meet the requirements stipulated in this section, as you have failed to provide a permissible purpose for obtaining my consumer report.

Validation of Debt ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) : According to the FDCPA, I request that you provide verification of the debt, including the amount owed, the name of the creditor, and documentation that supports your claim. Without this information, I will consider the debt invalid.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Problem when attempting to purchase vehicle at the end of the lease
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I leased a car, a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and Ally was the Finance company. According to the lease contract, my residual owed at the end of my 36 month lease was to be {$28000.00}. All payments were made on time and we mutually agreed to extend the lease. ( Please see attached Ally Lease Doc ) On XX/XX/XXXX, I sold the car to XXXX XXXX XXXX dealership during the agreed extension period for {$30000.00}. ( Please see attached purchase agreement from XXXX ) When the XXXX dealership called Ally and requested a payoff, I witnessed Ally give the amount of {$30000.00}, which is far in excess of the contractual amount due. I suspect Ally included a sales tax. 

My concern is that when a dealer buys a car to resale, sales tax does not get payed and Ally is stonewalling me and not providing any documents or discussing the issue with me, but instead directing me to the dealership that purchased the car from me.

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, in connection with an account under my name that was charged off by your institution and subsequently reported as such on my credit report.

As outlined in IRS regulations under Section 6050P of the Internal Revenue Code, creditors are required to issue a Form 1099-C when a debt of {$600.00} or more has been canceled or discharged. It is my understanding that since the charged-off debt has been written off by your institution, it constitutes a cancellation of debt, and I should have been provided with the appropriate tax documentation in accordance with the law.

Failure to provide a 1099-C form for canceled debts could be considered a violation of the IRS reporting requirements, which obligates creditors to report forgiven or discharged debts in excess of {$600.00}. It is essential for me to have this form to accurately report the canceled debt on my tax returns, and I would like to resolve this matter in a timely manner to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations. 

Please send the 1099-C form at your earliest convenience, either to my physical address or via email at XXXX Should you require any additional information or documentation from my end, I am more than willing to cooperate to expedite the process. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and resolution of this issue.
