Consumer complaint received 2025-07-14 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: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding a charge-off that appears on my credit report with an original balance of approximately {$670.00}. This account has since been paid in full, yet the furnisher continues to report it as a charge-off.

I am disputing this item for the following reasons : 1. The reporting is inconsistent and unverifiable across credit bureaus, which may violate FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611, both of which require that all information furnished be accurate and verifiable.

2. Under IRS Code 6050P, any canceled or discharged debt of {$600.00} or more requires the creditor to issue Form 1099-C to the IRS and the consumer. Despite meeting that threshold, I have never received a 1099-C, and my IRS transcript reflects no record of one being filed.

I am requesting that the furnisher provide the following : Full validation of the account, including the exact timeline and amount charged off A copy of any 1099-C issued or filed If the furnisher can not provide these documents and confirm compliance with federal credit and tax laws, I request that the charge-off be immediately removed from my credit report.

Furthermore, if the debt was previously canceled and later collected without proper disclosure or tax documentation, I am requesting a full refund of the amount I paid.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: CAVALRY INVESTMENTS, LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
The debt collector is Calvary Portfolio and they have been trying to collect a debt they claimed they purchased from XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX. They put the collection on my credit report. It's in the amount of {$650.00}. 1. ) I'm non-collectable and non- judgemental because I have been on XXXX since XXXX. That's my only income. 2. ) I asked them for a letter of where they bought the debt and from who because I was told they buy these for pennies on the dollar. I received a letter, but all of the amounts were blacked out as if with a marker. The debt shows it was in default as of XX/XX/XXXX and interest was added along with late fees, and they're trying to collect the full amount which is not legal, and no full statements or when payments were made, etc were provided because they don't have all this information. 3. ) I have contacted XXXX and they have no information on this account. So, if there was any account I can't find any information. 4. ) The statute of limitations for trying to collect on a credit card is three years and that starts from the day the XXXX would have reported it late. Supposedly, that was XXXX of XXXX on the paperwork they sent me, but there's no account number, XXXX can't find an account, and I've tried talking with them numerous times. They have and continue to break federal laws because what they put on my credit report must be 100 % correct, and it's not. It's false, and they can't show me otherwise. I have spoken with them numerous times and filed disputes with XXXX  and XXXX, but they are only getting the false information Calvary Portfolio tells them, so it keeps coming back as disputed by consumer but meets requirements and it 100 % doesn't. I'm to the point where I'm going to sue them if this isn't corrected and for sending me communications after specifically telling them to desist and cease all communication. I need your help, please. Thank you.

However, due to your lack of response or the response being deemed frivolous, it is clear that the Credit Bureaus have failed to uphold FCRA regulations and fulfill my request for proper verification.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a charge-off that appears on my credit report. I believe this account is being reported inaccurately and potentially in violation of federal consumer and tax laws.

Under IRS Code 6050P, any creditor who cancels or charges off a debt of {$600.00} or more is legally required to file a Form 1099-C with the IRS and provide a copy to the consumer. I have not received a 1099-C for this account, nor is there any record of one being filed on my IRS transcript .

Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), furnishers are required to report only accurate and fully verifiable information to credit reporting agencies. Reporting a debt as charged off or canceled without fulfilling the required legal documentation calls into question the accuracy and compliance of the reporting. 

I am requesting that the furnisher provide : A copy of the Form 1099-C that was issued to me Proof that the charge-off is being reported in full compliance with both IRS Code 6050P and FCRA 1681s-2 If they can not provide this documentation, I request that the charge-off be immediately deleted from all consumer reporting agencies, as required under FCRA 611.
