Complaint narrative:
Subject : Continued Inaccurate Reporting and Failure to Disclose Verification Method - XXXX Account. 

Dear Credit Bureau, I am writing to formally dispute the continued reporting of inaccurate information on my credit report, specifically regarding the XXXX account. Despite previous disputes and requests for corrections, the inaccuracies persist, indicating potential willful noncompliance under 15 USC 1681n.

As per 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are obligated to " follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information. '' The continued reporting of inaccurate information violates this provision. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies " conduct an investigation with respect to disputed information. '' Despite multiple disputes, the inaccuracies remain, suggesting a failure to conduct proper investigations.

Additionally, I previously requested the method of verification for past disputes, as is my right under FCRA Section 611. This information has not been provided, further hindering my ability to assess the accuracy and completeness of your investigations. 

Due to the repeated failures to correct inaccuracies and the failure to provide the requested verification method, I am formally requesting the deletion [ DA ] of the XXXX account from my credit report. This request is supported by : 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) : Requirement for Deletion - If an item is found to be inaccurate or can not be verified, it must be deleted by the credit reporting agency.

15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 : Responsibilities of Furnishers of Information to Consumer Reporting Agencies - Furnishers , such as XXXX are obligated to provide accurate information and investigate disputes. Their failure to do so warrants the deletion of the inaccurate account.

In line with 15 U.S. Code 1681n, I am also attaching an invoice for damages incurred due to the continued reporting of inaccurate information. These damages include, but are not limited to, lost opportunities and emotional distress. I expect these damages to be paid in full as a direct consequence of your failure to comply with the FCRA.

I anticipate prompt deletion [ DF ] of the disputed account and full payment of the attached invoice. Failure to comply with these requests will leave me no choice but to pursue further legal action. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
A few days prior to the repossession, I reached out to Santander to explain that I had begun working again and was prepared to address the past-due balance on my loan. However, each time I called, I was either given the runaround or my calls were disconnected. On the day of the repossession, I tried several more times to resolve the matter, but again I encountered unhelpful responses, with representatives insisting that I pay the full loan balance. I explained my recent hardship and shared that I am now working and able to pay the overdue amount, but was not offered a reasonable path to reinstate the loan.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting a formal complaint against IC System, a debt collection agency acting on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX, for reporting a debt I do not owe to XXXX. IC System has listed an alleged debt of {$200.00} on my credit report, which is inaccurate and has negatively impacted my credit score. 

Details of Complaint Inaccurate Debt Reporting for Paid Balance : IC System is reporting an XXXX XXXX XXXX debt of {$200.00} as outstanding, despite my having already paid all outstanding balances and returned the necessary equipment to XXXX XXXX XXXX. This debt, as reported, is not valid, and IC System has no basis for pursuing collection or reporting it to credit bureaus as an unpaid amount. 

Negative Impact on Credit Report : IC System has reported this erroneous debt to XXXX, where it continues to appear on my credit report as a negative item. This incorrect reporting has adversely affected my credit score and misrepresents my creditworthiness. 

Failure to Correct Inaccuracies After Disputes : I have attempted to resolve this issue by disputing it directly with the credit bureau, but IC System has not corrected this error. They continue to report the debt as valid, disregarding the fact that there is no outstanding balance owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Violation of Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : IC Systems refusal to accurately report or validate this debt may be in violation of both the FDCPA and FCRA, which require that debt collectors report only accurate information to credit bureaus and provide validation of the debt upon dispute.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
