Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint to request your assistance in resolving a dispute regarding an inaccurately reported account on my credit reports with XXXX and Equifax. Specifically, the account in question is : XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX This account is currently reported as a charge-off with the designation Profit and Loss Write-off by Grantor. However, I believe this information is inaccurate and constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ).

If this account was indeed charged off as a profit and loss write-off, I should have received a Form 1099-C from XXXX XXXX, as required by IRS regulations for reporting the cancellation of debt. Since I have not received this form, it raises serious concerns regarding the accuracy of the reporting : 1. The account is being inaccurately reported to the credit bureaus, violating FCRA Section 623. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX may have failed to report the charge-off correctly to the IRS, potentially indicating fraudulent or negligent activity. 

Under the FCRA, creditors are obligated to furnish accurate, complete, and verifiable information to credit bureaus. Any inconsistencies between a creditors internal records and IRS filings, or between how the account is reported to credit bureaus, represent a clear violation of federal law. 

Furthermore, under the FCRA, statutory damages may be sought if a creditor furnishes inaccurate information about a debt, such as misreporting a charge-off while continuing to claim the debt is owed.

Complaint narrative:
I received a notice from my credit journey that the balance on my Jared  Credit Card by Comenity Bank increased. Initially I thought it was due to a fraudulent charge but upon investigation, learned it was an interest charge for over {$5000.00}. 
I called the company and spoke to countless representatives for hours for a resolution and was finally instructed to write a letter to the hardship department. In the letter, I mentioned the fact that I saw there was a promo code due in the early part of XXXX during the time I was experiencing several life circumstances that were beyond my control, as well as financial hardship. In an effort to play my part in providing a resolution, I made a sacrificial payment for the promo balance later in XXXX with the hope that the interest charge would be waived. In spite my efforts, my request was denied. I am currently not in a position to pay Comenity over {$5000.00} in interest at this time and really need your help.
