Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: World Omni Financial Corp.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request an investigation into the credit reporting practices of XXXX and XXXX. After a thorough review of my credit reports, I have identified several inaccuracies related to the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account Number XXXX Upon review, I noticed that critical information such as the open date, the date last active, and the date of last payment are inconsistently reported across the three major credit bureaus. This inconsistency is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 1681e ( b ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, I have identified additional discrepancies that I believe warrant immediate correction : Charge-Off Balance Reporting : One of my accounts, listed as a charge-off, is still showing a balance even though it was sold to a debt collector. This is inaccurate reporting, as the original creditor no longer owns the debt. The balance should be listed as XXXX, particularly since I have not received a Form 1099-C for cancellation of debt income, which is required for tax purposes when a debt is canceled. 

1099-C Reporting Issue : In my communications with XXXX, XXXX was informed that I would receive a 1099-C when the statute of limitations expires. However, if the creditor has already reduced their tax burden by reporting the charge-off to the IRS, XXXX should have received a 1099-C to include in my 2023 tax filings. The fact that I have not received this form raises serious questions about the accuracy and legality of the continued balance reporting on my credit report. 

Given the discrepancies and the potential legal ramifications under the FCRA, I respectfully request that the CFPB conduct a thorough investigation into XXXX and XXXX 's reporting practices regarding these accounts. I urge you to ensure that all inaccuracies are corrected, including the removal of any improperly reported balances on charged-off accounts. 

I trust that the CFPB will take swift action to uphold the integrity of the credit reporting system and to protect consumers like myself from the damaging effects of inaccurate credit reporting. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your response and to the prompt resolution of these issues.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX, XXXX and Equifax for their failure to remove an inaccurate collection account from my credit report, despite multiple attempts on my part to resolve the issue. 

The account in question is held by XXXX XXXX XXXX, This account, was inaccurately reported on my credit report dates XX/XX/XXXX. I have never had any dealings with XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXXXXXX XXXX, and this account does not belong to me. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a dispute letter to a ; ; aforementioned credit agencies requesting the removal of this erroneous account. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I provided documentation proving that this account was incorrect. Despite this, they failed to remove the account, instead choosing to maintain this inaccurate information on my credit report. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, after the CRAs initial refusal to delete the account, I sent a second, more urgent dispute letter. In this letter, I reiterated my demand for removal and referenced the specific section of the FCRA15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) which mandates a reinvestigation of disputed information within 30 days. I clearly outlined that if the account was not deleted within 15 days, I would escalate the matter by filing formal complaints with your agency and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). 

Unfortunately, as of XX/XX/XXXX, the CRAs have failed to comply with its obligations under the FCRA. Given the continued presence of this inaccurate information on my credit report, I believe that both XXXX XXXX XXXX and the CRAs are in violation of federal law, specifically the provisions designed to protect consumers from the damage caused by incorrect credit reporting. 

This inaccurate information has adversely affected my credit score and could potentially cause further financial harm. The negligence displayed by both XXXX XXXX XXXX and the CRAs is unacceptable and has forced me to take this matter to your agency. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to address this issue. I seek the removal of the erroneous account from my credit report and a full investigation into the practices of both XXXX XXXX XXXX and the CRAs concerning this matter. Additionally, I request that any negative impact on my credit score resulting from this error be rectified. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
