Complaint narrative:
A violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) occurs when the regulations governing the collection, sharing, and use of consumer credit information are not upheld. Under the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) are required to take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of information in credit reports. If a consumer experiences financial harm due to an FCRA violation, they have the right to pursue legal action against the CRA for actual damages, statutory damages, and attorneys fees. The accounts mentioned in my letter contain inaccuracies, and I am requesting a comprehensive investigation to address and correct these issues.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint regarding a debt that was sold by the original creditor, [ Creditor Name ], to a third-party collection agency. Despite the debt being charged off or sold, I never received a Form 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ) from the original creditor or any documentation clarifying whether the debt was forgiven, canceled, or otherwise resolved. 

I understand that creditors are required to issue a 1099-C when {$600.00} or more of debt is canceled, but in this case, I am left uncertain of my tax reporting responsibilities and the true status of the debt. 

Furthermore, the collection agency [ Collection Agency Name, if known ] has now begun contacting me, but neither they nor the original creditor have provided any clear documentation explaining the transfer, cancellation, or tax implications. 

I would appreciate the CFPBs assistance in investigating whether the creditor followed proper procedures regarding debt cancellation and 1099-C reporting. Additionally, Id like clarification on whether I should expect a 1099-C from the original creditor or the collection agency, or if no cancellation occurred.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite having sent multiple letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by XXXX as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under XXXX clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through XXXX, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid. 

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Creditor Name : DPEDXXXX Account Number : XXXX These late payments are inaccurate, misleading, and in violation of federal law. This account was in an approved deferment/forbearance status at the time of the reported late payments, and therefore, no payment was due. 
Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), all information reported to the credit bureaus must be accurate, complete, and verifiable [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ]. Reporting late payments during a valid deferment period is factually incorrect and damaging to my consumer report and overall creditworthiness. 
Additionally, continued inaccurate reporting after notice constitutes willful noncompliance, and I reserve the right to pursue damages under 15 U.S.C. 1681n.

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), if this account was being serviced or collected by a third-party agency, falsely representing the character, amount, or legal status of a debt is a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 2 ) ( A ). If any agency misrepresented that payments were due when they were legally deferred, they may be subject to fines and penalties. I demand the immediate removal of all late payments reported on this account. If this issue is not resolved within 15 calendar days, I will be forced to pursue all available legal remedies, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), State Attorney General, and potentially seeking monetary damages in court for negligent and/or willful violations. Please confirm in writing that the inaccurate information has been removed. Failure to do so will be taken as evidence of continued noncompliance, and I am fully prepared to escalate this matter through all available legal channels.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and 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 reported to be removed/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 XXXX  days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  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!

Complaint narrative:
I requested a copy of my ChexSystems Consumer Disclosure Report by phone more than once, following all instructions, including entering personal details and verifying my identity. It has now been over 30 days with no report received. I am also unable to access it online because the one-time verification PIN is being sent to a phone number I no longer have access to. ChexSystems does not provide a live representative or alternative method for verification, and this is making it impossible for me to access my report or address any potential issues.
