Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Unlawful Reporting of Canceled Debt as a Collection Item on My Credit Report When a creditor such as Capital One charges off or cancels a debt, they are essentially forgiving the remaining balance and writing it off as a loss. Under IRS rules, when a creditor cancels more than {$600.00} of debt, the canceled amount is considered taxable income to the consumer and must be reported to the IRS via Form 1099-C, pursuant to 26 U.S. Code 61 ( a ) ( 12 ).

Capital One charged off {$27000.00}, which is far beyond the {$600.00} reporting threshold. However, they failed to issue me a Form 1099-C, putting me at serious risk of being audited or penalized by the IRS for not reporting canceled debt income that I was never informed about. 

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ), income or tax-related information is not permitted to be reported on a consumer credit report. A charge-off, when it meets the threshold for income reporting, is no longer a debt obligation but a settled tax event and can not be lawfully continued as a derogatory or unpaid debt on a credit report. This misclassification constitutes false and misleading reporting and violates the FCRA, specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Furnishers must not report information known to be inaccurate 15 U.S.C. 1681b Permissible purpose : There is no permissible purpose to report a tax-related income event as if its an ongoing debt 15 U.S.C. 1681n & 1681o Willful or negligent noncompliance with the FCRA By reporting this canceled balance as an open, unpaid charge-off, Capital One is effectively double-dipping : claiming the loss for tax purposes while still representing the amount as collectible debt on my credit file. This not only violates my consumer rights, but also exposes me to unjustified harm in creditworthiness, lending decisions, and IRS tax liability.

Complaint narrative:
There is a what seems to be a medical debt collection in my report. I have disputed ownership several times. However after several failed disputes, I reached out to experian after seeing that medical debt has been banned from credit report based on the new rule entered into the federal register as of XX/XX/year>. I again submitted another dispute citing this specific rule as it was stated that it would take effect 60 days after it was entered into the register which would be around XX/XX/XXXX. I received my dispute results this evening and it seems as though experian refuses to follow the law and remove this disputed medical debt from my credit report. How many other people have been impacted by their refusal to follow the law and remove medical debt from credit reports.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Im writing to formally dispute multiple late payments reported on my credit file, which are inaccurate due to a situation involving unauthorized access to my personal accounts. For the past year or 2, I experienced a pattern of unexpected missed payments across several of my credit accounts. At the time, I was in a relationship where the person I was dating had access to my personal laptop and logins. Following the end of that relationship, I discovered that several of my accounts had been tampered with including the disabling of autopay settings, the removal of saved payment methods, and changes to my email and notification settings. 
This individual later admitted over the phone that they accessed my accounts out of spite and interfered with my financial information, which I did not notice immediately. These actions directly led to multiple missed or late payments on accounts that were previously in good standing. 
Since uncovering this, I have : Secured all of my financial accounts. 
Taken steps to ensure this situation will not happen again Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am exercising my right to dispute these inaccurate negative marks. Specifically : 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 requires furnishers to report accurate information and correct any errors upon notice 15 U.S. Code 1681i requires credit reporting agencies to investigate disputed items and remove any unverifiable or inaccurate information within 30 days Because these late payments were the result of unauthorized interference not willful nonpayment or neglect I am requesting that they be removed from my credit report. If the furnishers can not verify with documentation that I personally made the changes that led to these missed payments, I ask that the items be deleted in accordance with federal law. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Please notify me of the outcome of your investigation.
