Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Absolute Resolutions Corp.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to dispute an inaccurately reported charge-off account associated with ABSOLUTE RESOLUTIONS Account Number XXXX on my XXXX credit report. The creditor has failed to substantiate or validate this charge-off in compliance with federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. : The FCRA requires creditors to report accurate and verifiable information. The reporting of this charge-off account lacks adequate substantiation, as no documentation proving the validity of the debt has been provided.

Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 6050P : When an account is deemed uncollectible and charged off, the creditor is obligated to issue a 1099-C form for cancellation of debt if the forgiven amount meets the reporting threshold. In this case, no 1099-C form has been issued, which raises doubts about the legitimacy of the charge-off. 

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Guidelines : Under CFPB rules, creditors are required to ensure fair, accurate, and substantiated credit reporting practices. Reporting this account as a charge-off without proof of its validity may constitute an unfair and deceptive practice in violation of the Dodd-Frank Act, 12 U.S.C. 5531.

Complaint narrative:
Initially a few months ago I received a letter to my mothers previous address stating I needed to repay a debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX or I would have money garnished. I contacted XXXX and they ran a background report on me for {$25.00}, they stated the debt they were trying to collect was possibly not mine and if it is then it is time barred and they made a mistake as the debt was not on my credit report. I was informed I did not have to do anything more. Yesterday XX/XX/year> the amount of {$610.00} was garnished by Reimer Law Co for that debt. I did not receive any notice that I was having money garnished. When I contacted Reimer Law I spoke with a XXXX XXXX who said he saw I had a garnishment but would contact me in 30 days to set up payment options for the remaining balance. I informed him the address listed was not mine, I did not know of any debt, and requested he send me what he had document wise plus when my last payment was. I was told he would contact me in 30 days.

A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

I believe this account was inaccurately verified, and I demand a reinvestigation. If you can not provide sufficient evidence that this account belongs to me, I request that it be removed from my credit report immediately.
