Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX Flat XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Georgia XXXX XX/XX/2024 Avant LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX REQUEST FOR 1099c Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to request a copy of the 1099c form for the debt that I owed to your company, which was charged off. The debt in question is related to account XXXX and was charged off for the outstanding balance.. 

As tax season is wrapping up, I noticed that I have not received the required forms for a reported charge off. It is illegal to withhold a 1099c. When you are the fiduciary you have a responsibility to the trust. If you have submitted a 1099c to charge off the debt on the IRS side but did not supply a copy to me that is willful negligence and you are preventing me from being in compliance with the IRS. If you have not submitted this debt on your profit and loss, then this is considered tax fraud for manipulating the loss with a failure to report. I will exercise my right to use form 3949a information referral & form 211 which is reported to the whistleblower address for the IRS. I will also file a police report and report this to the Secretary of State in which your entity is registered.

It is essential for me to have all the necessary documentation regarding my financial affairs, including the charged-off debt. I understand that it is a requirement that your company file a 1099c form for this debt, and I kindly request your assistance in providing me with a copy of this document. According to the IRS a 1099c is a notice to the IRS that the financial institution has forgiven or canceled a debt of {$600.00} or more. You are blatantly enforcing an alleged debt after you have received a tax benefit from the charge off.

Having the 1099c will enable me to accurately report the charged-off debt on my taxes and ensure compliance with all tax obligations. I would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and the timely provision of the requested documentation. I need to resolve this matter efficiently and appreciate your cooperation in helping me meet my tax responsibilities.

Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to receiving the 1099c for the charged-off debt as soon as possible. 

Sincerely, XXXX : XXXX, XXXX

Complaint narrative:
This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties and I did not participate in any of it.

I declare under penalty of perjury ( under the laws of the United States, if executed outside of the United States ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am permitted by FEDERAL and STATE LAW to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and willful misstatements or omissions of material facts constitutes a FEDERAL CRIMINAL VIOLATION punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable as perjury under 18 U.S.C. 1621. This collection found within my credit report is not related to any transaction that I made. I am alleging that a person or company- without my authorization- used my personal identifying information to apply for goods, services, or money ; and, was successful in creating some accounts.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I reached out to Capital One to dispute a XXXX charge of {$580.00}. The charge I am disputing was made on XX/XX/XXXX posted on XX/XX/XXXX. The agent incorrectly disputed the charge made on XX/XX/XXXX, posted on XX/XX/XXXX for the same amount of {$580.00}. This was the same XXXX  bag in different colors. XXXX provided a refund for the charge made on XX/XX/XXXX, posted on XX/XX/XXXX but did not provide a refund for the other bag I returned. Again, there was no refund for the charge I am disputing and the refund applied to a different bag that was already refunded. I have enclosed communication I had with the merchant about this charge on XX/XX/XXXX confirming that my refund was due to me for this order placed on XX/XX/XXXX.

Capital One recanted and stated the letter was in error. I redisputed and said if the initial dispute was placed under the other bag I ordered for the same amount ( purchased XX/XX/XXXX, posted XX/XX/XXXX ) that was already refunded, I asked Capital one to dispute the account under the correct item ( purchased XX/XX/XXXX and posted XX/XX/XXXX ). They refused to do so closing the case and investigation when they initially resolved it in my favor. Both of the bags with a charge of {$580.00} were returned to XXXX as stated above by the return tracking. I am not not in receipt of any bag for either order.
