Consumer complaint received 2024-03-13 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: CBC Companies, Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
The response to my previous complaint did not resolve my issue. I complained that your website had issues that seemed to remove my scheduled payment, resulting in me getting a late payment on my credit reporting. You responded by confirming that your website had issues due to a breach, and also confirming that my payment was not processed until a month later, therefore the late payment was valid. 

So, again, your website had issues, which I had reached out to you via email about several times, including before I ever received this late payment. I was under the impression the payment was scheduled, because the website mislead me due to the error code which is presumably related to the breach. When I discovered the issue, I was able to make a manual payment, but at that point it was over 30 days late. Because you caused this, however, and because you promised there would be no penalty for any payments caused by your website issues, this is unacceptable. I would like my credit reports fixed.

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed this account XXXX reported by XXXX aka XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to let them know that I have opted out of reporting and that they are violating my rights to privacy as a consumer per 15 USC 6802-obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information. So I am taking this complaint to the CFPB for remedy pursuant to 15 USC 6805 to enforce the law. I am also attaching my documentation to this claim. They usually use stall tactics to say they need more time to investigate and they are reporting false and misleading information. Per the Federal Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), they are required by federal law to verify through physical verification of the original signed consumer contract which they have failed to do so. I am seeking the removal of this inaccurate reporting and breach of my consumer privacy.

My name appears incorrectly on my credit report. I also suspect my credit report has created a split file due to the name issue, with me having at least two different credit files under two different names. This is also creating issues for me creating an account online to view my report or dispute my personal information, because the information that I am looking for is not available under my actual name, and any attempts to make an account online redirect me to the existing account for my social security number that is under my incorrect name.

XXXX  XXXX can not collect on a discharged debt. This is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS and income can not be reported.

I never received a 1099-C from XXXX XXXX for the cancelled debt in order to file as ordinary income. Where is my 1099-C XXXX XXXX is clearly writing off debt with the IRS without sending out 1099-C as required by the IRS. This is unsatisfactory! XXXX XXXX has been HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE that they are furnishing incorrect inaccurate information. In XXXX  XXXX terms and conditions they agreed not to share my information with non-affiliates.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.

Complaint narrative:
Over a year ago I got notice I owed a credit card debt. I had no idea what this was about. I immediately sent out a validation letter with no response. I then sent out more validation letters with no response. So, they never responded to me but then sued me and placed it on my credit report. I thought this was not allowed. The company collecting for LVNV was XXXX XXXX XXXX. At the time that is all I knew. This was stressful and time consuming. I went to court a few times and then this last time the judge dismissed the case. I have asked them to remove it from my credit report but no answer. I don't owe this debt. I have been injured by this carelessness. I was denied a mortgage because of this. I just thought that while I filed those validation letters they could not place me in collections or sue me until they had proof. They did it anyway.
