Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I voluntarily sent my car back ( voluntary repo ), I tried to speak with them to make smaller payments the company, however they weren't open for that. They then wrote off the vehicle and reported to the credit bureaus as charged off, but with a balance. I requested a 1099C form from the company ( Exeter Finance ), however they refused to give me the form. I would like this removed from my credit report as it has a 1099-C, so now it's on my personal credit report. Please have them remove it from my report

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Bought a vacation on XXXX ( the property was line properties ) with my XXXX Citi card totaling ( {$2700.00} ). The company charged me 3 times. Citi credited back one of the three times fully ( {$2700.00} ) and half of a credit for the other charge ( {$790.00} XX/XX/XXXX and {$1100.00} XX/XX/XXXX ), but they will not refund the remaining amount for the second charge ( XXXX ). Ive called them every single month since XXXX and they cant seem to explain to me why they cant or wont refund it but I have been trying to get a refund since XX/XX/XXXX. Every person Ive talk to says that they can see where I was overcharged and that I should get a refund and that the codes that theyre putting into their system should allow for a refund to be given, but I still have not been refunded the full credit. Ive exhausted all options and the company says they only charged us once, so I dont know if Citi just charged me that or if the company charged me that but Im not sure what else to do. They have extensive documentation of this.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Debt Collector 's, I am writing to formally dispute the medical debt you have contacted me about and demand immediate validation of this debt in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I am aware of my rights, and I intend to exercise them fully.

You are required by law to provide the following information : 1. The name and address of the original creditor. 
2. The exact amount of the debt, including any interest or fees that may have been added. 
3. A detailed, itemized statement of the medical services provided, including dates of service and any payments made. 
4. Copies of any documents that substantiate this debt and prove that I am legally obligated to pay it.

5. Evidence that you are licensed to collect debts in my state.

Furthermore, I demand that you cease all collection activities and communications until this debt has been fully validated. Under no circumstances should you report this alleged debt to any credit reporting agencies until you provide the requested documentation.

Additionally, I would like to point out that I have not received a Form 1099-C related to this account, which is mandatory for reporting canceled debt. Its absence raises serious questions about the legitimacy of this claim. 

If you fail to provide the requested information or if you continue to pursue this matter without validation, I will not hesitate to escalate this issue with the appropriate regulatory authorities and consider legal action to protect my rights. 

I expect your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your swift compliance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out to formally dispute the inaccurate inclusion of a bankruptcy on my credit report. I have obtained an official letter from the court that clearly states this bankruptcy should not be reported to your agency. Despite this, it still appears on my credit file, which is both misleading and unjust. The presence of this erroneous record is causing unnecessary harm to my credit standing and must be corrected immediately. 

Moreover, I have reason to believe that an unauthorized third party is involved in this matter, further complicating the situation. The involvement of an unknown entity raises serious concerns about the accuracy and security of my personal financial information. It is unacceptable that such an error has been allowed to persist, and I urge you to take immediate action to rectify it.

Complaint narrative:
This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ).

Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ).

Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ).

Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b.
