Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report.

Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Against Equifax for Failure to Investigate and Comply with Federal Laws Regarding Charged-Off Debt and 1099-C Reporting Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Equifax for their failure to investigate and comply with federal laws regarding charged-off debt and the reporting of Form 1099-C, as required by the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ). Equifaxs actions, or lack thereof, are causing significant harm to my credit profile and are in violation of established laws and regulations.

1. Failure to Comply with IRS Regulations on Charged-Off Debt and 1099-C Reporting According to the IRS, when a creditor discharges a debt of {$600.00} or more, they are required to issue a Form 1099-C to the debtor, as this discharged debt is considered taxable income. The IRS explicitly states : If a debt is canceled, forgiven, or discharged for less than the full amount owed, the amount of the canceled debt is generally taxable income to you.

( Source : IRS Publication 4681, Canceled Debts, Foreclosures, Repossessions, and Abandonments, available at www.irs.gov ) Once a debt is charged off and a 1099-C is issued, the debt is considered income and should no longer be reported as a collectible debt. However, Equifax continues to report these charged-off accounts on my credit report, which is inaccurate and misleading.

2. Equifaxs Policy on Income Reporting Equifaxs own policies state that income is not reported on credit reports. If a charged-off debt is considered income under IRS regulations , it should not be reported as a debt on my credit report. By continuing to report these charged-off accounts, Equifax is violating their own policies and misrepresenting my financial standing.

3. Demand for Removal of Charged-Off Accounts I demand that Equifax immediately remove all charged-off accounts from my credit report, as these debts have been discharged and are now considered income under IRS regulations. Their continued reporting of these accounts is inaccurate, misleading, and in violation of federal law.

4. Legal Action if Compliance is Not Met If Equifax fails to investigate and remove these charged-off accounts from my credit report, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action against them for their failure to comply with federal laws and their continued harm to my credit profile.

I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and ensure that Equifax complies with all applicable laws and regulations. Please provide me with updates on the status of this complaint and any actions taken. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing this formal complaint against Citi Bank, N.A. ( CBNA ) for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681b by improperly reporting a hard inquiry on my XXXX consumer credit report without permissible purpose. 

Details of the Complaint : The unauthorized hard inquiry was made on XX/XX/year> and is listed as CBNA on my XXXX credit report. 
I applied for a Citi Bank credit card, but my application was denied. 
I do not have an open account with Citi Bank and never provided written instructions authorizing them to continue reporting this inquiry. 
Under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ), a company must have a permissible purpose to access and report consumer credit information. Since I was denied and provided no written consent, Citi Bank has no legal basis to continue reporting this inquiry.

Steps I Have Taken : Sent a dispute letter to Citi Bank requesting immediate removal of the unauthorized inquiry and statutory damages of {$1000.00} for the violation. 
Citi Bank has failed to resolve this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I am co-signer on the loan. Primary loan holder ( spouse ) passed away 8 months ago. Vehicle was stolen and deemed a total loss by insurance in XX/XX/2024. Payout was made, there was GAP coverage on the loan and I was under the impression that the loan was taken care of and paid off. Three months later with XXXX communication to myself, the lender starts reporting late payments to the credit bureaus as they are showing a balance on the loan still. Played phone tag for weeks trying to get the issue resolved, asking why they didnt communicate payments being due, late or behind with no real answer. Lender refuses to correct information with credit bureaus even if I pay off the amount. Was told the GAP coverage company was provided incorrect balance information and when requesting correct information from the lender they refused to provide anything from the time the vehicle was deemed a total loss.
