I had taken out an installment loan which was not paid directly to me all at once but would be once the payments were made. I cancelled the loan mid-contract and was owed a refund for some of the money which I had invested towards the account. I received an e-mail from XXXX that stated I had until XX/XX/2022 to pay the outstanding balance of {$390.00} and that XX/XX/2022 would be the last day to do so. 

I paid the outstanding balance and left XXXX with a {$0.00} balance on my account prior to the date which was set for the deadline to make said payment. However, in XX/XX/2022 I began receiving notifications from XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX that XXXX had reported my account as a " charge-off '' status, this was not the case as the letter I received from XXXX ( see attached document ) stated I had until XXXX. This was very unsettling and has been very unsettling with me for the past year. 

This account was paid off in full, & I also received a refund for the money I had invested in the account.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the results of the reinvestigation of my dispute that I submitted to XXXXTransunion XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023, through the CFPB portal. [ Account XXXX. All is being investigated by the FTC ]. Despite my efforts to bring to your attention the inaccurate information appearing on my credit report, including the XXXX XXXX account that I have disputed, I was disappointed to learn that the only action taken was to update my address and add a telephone number. 

As I mentioned in my previous correspondence, this collection is not related to any transaction that I made, and 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. The reporting of inaccurate information has caused significant harm to my credit score and ability to obtain credit, in violation of Section 1681s-2 ( a ) of the FCRA and the CFPB 's Bulletin 2013-1. Furthermore, I believe that the inclusion of this inaccurate information on my credit report is a violation of the following codes : [ 15 US C 1681 section 604 A Section 2 ], [ 15 USC 1681 Section 602 ], and [ 15 US code 5 1681b ].

These violations have caused undue stress and financial strain on my life, and I demand that they
be rectified immediately. The reporting of inaccurate information has caused significant harm to my credit score and ability to obtain credit, in violation of Section 1681s-2 ( a ) of the FCRA and the CFPB 's Bulletin 2013-1. Therefore, I am requesting that you provide me with a written statement of the results of your investigation and a copy of my corrected credit report, with the XXXX XXXX account completely removed from it. 

In accordance with the FCRA and CFPB guidelines, I expect your prompt response within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Please be advised that I am willing to take all necessary legal steps to rectify this matter, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) if necessary. 

Reporting of inaccurate information is a serious matter, and I urge you to take swift action to rectify this issue. I believe that the following CFPB codes may be relevant in this matter and I request that you consider them when reviewing my dispute : Bulletin 2013-1, Section 1036 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Section 1681s-2 ( a ) of the FCRA, and Section 1681b of the FCRA. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving a prompt response.
