Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute and Notice of Damages Affirm Inc To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as my formal dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 602, 609 ( a ), 611, and 623. I am requesting the immediate investigation and deletion of the following inaccurate and unlawfully reported account from my credit file. 

Creditor : Affirm Inc XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Status : Charged-Off This account is reporting inaccurate and unverifiable information. According to Metro 2 compliance standards, the account reflects an inconsistency in the payment history, charge-off reporting, and past due balances without a proper update to the Date of Last Activity ( DLA ). Furthermore, no original documentation or agreement has been provided to verify this debt or demonstrate its legal validity under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2.

Additionally, I never received validation of this account, which constitutes a violation of the FDCPA if this debt was passed to a third party. The continued reporting of this account has caused personal and financial harm, including loan denials and increased interest rates. I am seeking compensation of {$5000.00} for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n.

This account is governed by a binding arbitration clause as stated in Section 30 of the Affirm Payment Agreement. The furnisher was contractually obligated to engage in arbitration prior to any charge-off, sale, or collection assignment. The reported balance and derogatory mark from third-party collection by XXXX XXXX  constitutes a breach of contract and consumer harm under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2. No arbitration was initiated, no notice was provided, and no verifiable chain of assignment has been disclosed. You are now on notice of these violations, and I demand immediate deletion of this account. Failure to do so will result in arbitration initiation, CFPB complaint, and a formal claim for {$5000.00} in damages. 

You are required to conduct a full reinvestigation, provide documentation, and remove any unverifiable, inaccurate, or incomplete information within 30 days. If you can not verify this item, it must be deleted from my credit file. 

Failure to comply will result in formal complaints with the CFPB, FTC, South Carolina Attorney Generals Office, and may escalate to civil litigation. 

Please mail your response to the address above. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
The below was sent to XXXXchase.com  a week ago without reply. I have also left a voicemail for the case worker, again, without reply. There is no reason for this. After reviewing case XXXX, it was mishandled and did not fully address what I originally asked for in the case. Please see below and provide a response on the same. The concern is very clear, and I do need someone to call me if there is an open question. Again, not responding at all is not the way to handle any issues, especially with Chase 's Executive Office : " I previously had XXXX working on case XXXX and I left a voicemail a few days ago and have not heard back. After reviewing, this case was not completed per what I stated in my original case, and I need to ensure this is completed properly. Please see below : 1. As stated in my original case, your team can not simply send another automatic reinsertion request. This was already attempted multiple times and have failed each time. XXXX  has stated that they have not received anything from Chase, including since XXXX, and have asked that Chase get in contact with your dedicated XXXX rep to confirm there are no suppression issues this time. Therefore, I need your backend team to verbally reach out to your Equifax rep and ensure this account is being reinserted. Unfortunately I can not wait another 60 days for another error. 

2. For context, it seems the account ending in XXXX is suppressed and can only be unsuppressed between you and XXXX, so it would be helpful for this to be mentioned to XXXX This suppression is likely the reason your team continues to have reinsertion issues, and I can not unsuppress on my side. Why multiple reinsertion attempts in the past have failed was not looked into by XXXX. We should be looking into issues like these as clients should not be filing issues like this. 

Please confirm the old case has been opened or of the new case number/agent. Once I get a date that your team has spoken with XXXX  and confirmed the request has been received and processed, I will then wait 60 days from this time. No attachments are included as this card is not yet reporting to my XXXX  credit report, which I understand is expected at this point. 

Please let me know of any questions. ''

XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, SC, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX Wakefield & Associates - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TN XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute of Charge-Off Reporting and Demand for Removal To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the reporting of a charge-off on my credit report. Upon reviewing my records, I have determined that this reporting is inaccurate, misleading, and in violation of federal laws, warranting its immediate removal. 
A charge-off is classified as a certificate of indebtedness, which, by definition, converts the obligation into income for the original creditor. Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( GAAP ) and IRS regulations, when a creditor writes off a debt as a loss, they claim a tax deduction, effectively relinquishing their right to collect. Once a debt has been charged off and financially accounted for, it should no longer be reported as an outstanding obligation against me. 
Additionally, once a third-party debt collector acquires a charged-off debt, it affirms that the original creditor has already written off the account. The sale of such debt further confirms that the creditor has received compensation for it, making any continued reporting improper and deceptive. Reporting a charge-off after the original creditor no longer owns the debt is an inaccurate and unfair practice under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 6802-6805 ( Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act - GLBA ), I am exercising my right to opt out of any nonpublic personal information sharing, including the reporting of this charge-off to third parties. The GLBA prohibits financial institutions from disclosing nonpublic personal information without providing consumers with an opt-out option. Since I was not properly notified nor given the opportunity to opt out of my personal data being shared in this manner, this charge-off must be removed immediately. 
Additionally, under the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S.C. 552a ), any entity reporting information must ensure accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and completeness. A charge-off that has been sold or reassigned to another party does not meet these legal standards and should no longer be reported as a valid obligation under my name. 
I am demanding that you conduct a full investigation under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( FCRA ) and provide legally admissible documentation proving the validity of this charge-off. If verification can not be provided, this derogatory entry must be deleted from my credit report immediately. 
Please respond in writing within 30 days, as required by the FCRA. If this matter is not resolved, I will explore all legal remedies to enforce my rights under federal law. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 EXPERIAN TRANSUNION 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports
