Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Request for Investigation and Deletion of Incorrect Charge-Off XXXX I am contacting you to formally challenge and seek immediate investigation and removal of incorrect charge-off entries made by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have severely impacted my financial standing, hindering my ability to secure a home mortgage, an auto loan, and additional credit facilities. 
I wish to highlight that I have no contractual ties with this collection agency. Their actions of reporting my credit information without any contractual basis are unjustified and breach multiple legal norms concerning credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The reported charge-offs, which suggest debts I do not recognize, have been documented on my credit report without my agreement, violating established principles of lawful credit reporting, also referred to as certificates of indebtedness.

2. **Absence of Form 1099-C** : I was not provided with Form 1099-C for debt cancellation by the agency, which is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance with IRS requirements. This omission could lead to potential risks of tax non-compliance.

3. **Infringement of Privacy Rights** : This action violates the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), which ensures stringent safeguards against the unauthorized release of personal information.

4. **Lack of Contractual Agreement** : There is no formal contract between myself and the agency, thus their reporting of my credit information directly infringes on my consumer rights.

5. **Exercising Opt-Out Rights** : In accordance with regulations under 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, 12 CFR 1016.7, 15 USC 6802 ( b ), and 15 USC 6805, I am formally revoking any implied permissions for the dissemination or reporting of my credit information.

Given these concerns, I urgently request a review and elimination of these incorrect records from my credit report, and I ask for a written confirmation of this deletion. Please note that I am prepared to take further actions, including legal recourse, to rectify my credit report and protect my rights. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Company has never contacted consumer/taxpayer estate of any attempt to collect a debt prior to reporting a bogus address and negative information on my credit reports. Company has never had any legally binding affiliation with TAXPAYER OR COPYWRITTEN TAXPAYER INFORMATION. Company is engaging in an extortionate extension of credit in an elaborate intentional interstate commerce scheme with XXXX XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX violating Foreign Agent Registrations Act and violating international Uniform Commercial Code and IRS withholding agent Code of Federal Regulations. AMSHER reported a generic address as they have no direct information from this consumer/taxpayer or record of account. AMSHER IS IN UNLAWFUL POSSESSION AND IS FURNISHING INACCURATE PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. AMSHER failed to provide any documentation to the estate of this consumer/taxpayer evidencing that AMSHER will now be the newest party to the federal civil suit with XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX and extortionate extensions of credit in the XXXX XXXX of Florida. AMSHER is attempting to communicate with a consumer/taxpayer regarding a debt without holding any lawful right to do so. AMSHER is harming consumer by reporting inaccurate adverse information to which it has no legal authority to do so. There has never been an established obligation between alleged creditor and the consumer/taxpayer as XXXX has failed for the past 12 months to respond to the request for documentation. T-Mobile appears to be defrauding AMSHER by submitting omitted and inaccurate information regarding their lawful relationship to this consumer. This alleged debt reported by AMSHER will never be lawfully collectable by any entity without a contract to collect from the U.S. Treasury.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Complaint and Request for Removal of Improper Charge-off THD CBNA I am writing to formally contest and demand a prompt investigation and deletion of improper charge-off entries reported by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have significantly damaged my financial reputation, preventing me from obtaining a home mortgage, an auto loan, and additional credit lines. 
It's important to note that I have never had a contractual agreement with this collection agency. Their reporting of my credit data without a contractual relationship is not only unfounded but also violates several legal standards regarding credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The charge-offs reported, which are effectively claims of debt I have not acknowledged, are listed on my credit report without my consent, clearly breaching established rules of lawful credit reporting. Also know as certificates of indebtedness. 
2. **Failure to Provide Form 1099-C** : The agency did not supply me with Form 1099-C for debt cancellation, crucial for correct tax filing and IRS compliance. This failure exposes me to potential tax non-compliance risks.

3. **Violation of Privacy Rights** : This reporting breaches the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), which offers strict protections against unauthorized disclosure of personal data. 
4. **No Contractual Relationship** : There is no formal agreement between me and the agency, making their credit reporting a direct violation of my consumer rights.

5. **Opt-Out Rights** : Per regulations under 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, 12 CFR 1016.7, 15 USC 6802 ( b ), and 15 USC 6805, I am officially withdrawing any implied consents for sharing or reporting my credit information. 
Considering these issues, I request an immediate review and removal of these erroneous entries from my credit report, along with written confirmation of this removal. Please be advised that I am ready to pursue further action, including legal measures, to correct my credit information and defend my rights. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this critical issue and await your swift action and response.

According to my most recent credit report, i have hard inquiries that is currently reporting to the three credit bureaus that I applied for credit with their organization.

If a signed authorization can not be found please remove the inquiry from the three main credit bureaus.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint and Request for Investigation and Removal of Unauthorized Charge-off. XXXX XXXX I am formally disputing and request the immediate investigation and removal of unauthorized and inaccurately reported charge-off entries by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have severely affected my financial standing, disqualifying me from securing a home mortgage, an auto loan, and any lines of credit. 
It is critical to highlight that I have never entered any contractual relationship with this collection agency. Their actions to report on my credit without a direct agreement are not only baseless but also infringe upon my consumer rights, constituting a clear violation of multiple legal standards pertaining to credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The reporting of charge-offs, which are essentially certificates of indebtedness that I have never agreed upon, appears on my credit report without my authorization. This action is in direct violation of the principles that govern lawful credit reporting.

2. **Failure to Furnish Form 1099-C** : The collection agency has also failed to provide me with a copy of Form 1099-C concerning the cancellation of debt, which is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance. This omission has potentially placed me at risk of non-compliance with IRS regulations.

3. **Violation of Privacy Rights** : Under the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), there is a stringent protection against the unlawful disclosure of personal information. The agency 's action contravenes these legal provisions by disclosing personal financial details without my consent.

4. **No Contractual Relationship** : As I have never signed any form of agreement with the said agency, their report constitutes a direct infringement on my rights as a consumer.

5. **Opt-Out Rights** : In accordance with the provisions of 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, and 12 CFR 1016.7 along with 15 USC 6802 ( b ) and 15 USC 6805, I am formally opting out of all authorizations, whether impliedly granted, for sharing or reporting my credit information.

Given these points, I urge you to act swiftly in investigating these claims and remove the inaccurate charge-off entries from my credit report. I expect a written confirmation of the deletion of these entries. Please understand that I am prepared to take further steps, including legal action, if necessary, to ensure the correction of my credit information and to protect my rights. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.
