Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against Equifax and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) for violating federal laws concerning the inaccurate reporting of a charged-off account and failure to issue a 1099-C Cancellation of Debt form. The account was sold to a debt collection agency, yet XXXX continues to report it inaccurately, harming my credit profile. 
Additionally, I have attached proof the debt has been sold and reporting inaccurately on my credit file which is a direct violation and must be removed. I have no agreement written nor signed agreement with the third party.

Violations Committed : 1. Failure to Issue a 1099-C Violation of 26 U.S.C. 6050P According to 26 U.S.C. 6050P, creditors who cancel or discharge debts of {$600.00} or more are required to issue a 1099-C form. XXXX has failed to provide this form, suggesting that the debt has not been legally forgiven while simultaneously reporting it as a charge-off.

2. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Violations 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Creditors must report accurate information. The continued reporting of a charged-off account, despite its sale to a third-party collector, is false and misleading.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) : Upon dispute, credit bureaus must investigate and correct inaccurate data. Equifax has failed to do so.

15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : Credit bureaus must maintain maximum possible accuracy. The current reporting of the account as a charge-off without reflecting the sale to a third-party collector is a violation of this obligation.

3. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Violations 15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq.

15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 8 ) : Creditors and collectors must not report false or misleading information. XXXX and the debt collector can not both claim ownership of the same debt in different ways, which creates confusion and misinformation. 


Requested Action : 1. Immediate removal of the XXXX charge-off from my credit report. 

2. Verification of a 1099-C filingif none exists, the charge-off should not be legally reported.

3. Correction of all reporting inaccuracies regarding the ownership and balance of the account.

4. Investigation and enforcement action against XXXX and Equifax for violations of FCRA, FDCPA, and IRS reporting laws. 


Legal Consequences for Noncompliance : Failure to address these violations within 15 days will result in a lawsuit against Equifax and XXXX for willful noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, which allows for statutory and punitive damages. I will also escalate this matter by filing complaints with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and my state Attorney Generals office.

Please provide a written response detailing the actions taken to resolve this matter. Thank you for your prompt attention. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.

Complaint narrative:
I opened a loan that I was not able to pay. 

This loan was then sold to XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX who have threatened to sue me on multiple occasions with letters ( I no longer have ) unless I pay the debt. 

The only way to pay the debt is by leaving my payment information but they will not show the total I owe. I have tried on many occasions to email and call them as well as arrange callbacks. This law firm has refused to answer any of my communications of me attempting to settle the debt. 

This law firm leaves reviews for themselves on XXXX from personal employees saying how great they are while also include their extension numbers in which you will never get ahold of. This is extremely predatory.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports
