Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I filed a dispute in the Transunion website about my credit report. In their report they were duplicating my student loan balances that have been transferred from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX and subsequently transferred to XXXX. My credit report with Transunion showed as I had double the amount of student loans : the original balances with XXXX XXXX before the transfer appeared as open with the original balances instead of {$0.00} balance and that they had been closed and transferred. Transunion never contacted me with the results of my dispute. On XX/XX/2022 I checked again my Credit Report with Transunion and the errors were still there. 

I tried to upload the letter or statement from XXXX XXXX showing that all my student loans had been transferred and the balances was {$0.00} and thus the accounts closed. When I completed the dispute and uploaded the letter/account from XXXX, the website of Transunion states Dispute Temporarily Unavailable. When I double checked I did not see any record of my original dispute of XX/XX/2022 or the follow up dispute of today XX/XX/2022.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I had owed XXXX money from a credit card I was unable to pay due to financial issues. XXXXXXXX XXXX  then utilized Calvary SPV as an assignee of the debt to which totals {$12000.00}. Calvary then has hired XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX to collect on said debt. This is a violation of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

" ( a ) It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating. '' They went on to try and serve me papers when I was not at my home which is also not the listed address on the citation they have had issued in court. The citation reads as being listed to XXXX XXXX. My wife told them a couple times I was not home during their hired hand trying to serve me notice and we also have a no soliciting sign posted. 

This has caused me tremendous stress and has hindered my family in pursuing our XXXX given rights to happiness.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony networks have violated IRS Publication 4681 Cancellation of debt which gives procedures for charge-off debts and the requirements for ensuring it is within IRS regulation such as the statement in the publication where all debts canceled above XXXXXXXX XXXX must have an accompanying form 1099-C sent to the debtor. 

I never received a form 1099-C for the charge-off. Not only did Synchrony Network charge off this debt as a tax write-up without providing me a 1099-C but they continued to pursue the payment of the debt they already cancelled. 

As Defined by The IRS Even if you didn't receive Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as gross income on your tax return. 

The IRS Clearly defines a charge off as ( Gross or Ordinary income ). 

INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes the reporting of this account inaccurate! 

By Definition The IRS Clearly says a Canceled or Charge off is income. The reporting of this account as debt is inaccurate. 

15 USC 1681 s-2 Says Synchrony Network is a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency. 

They ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW to furnish inaccurate information. I demand they Cease and Desist the reporting of incorrect/ inaccurate information immediately.
