Complaint narrative:
CFPB Complaint Immediate Removal of Fraudulent XXXX XXXX Charge-Off To : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX CFPB ) Subject : Unlawful Reporting of Fraudulent Charge-Off Immediate Removal Required Issue Summary : I am filing a formal dispute against Equifax for failing to remove an incorrect charge-off reported by XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). This account includes fraudulent charges, and its charge-off status is invalid under federal law. 
Details of Disputed Account : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number ( Last XXXX Digits ) : [ XXXX ] Status Reported : Charge-Off / Derogatory Collection Amount Reported : {$1700.00} Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Date Closed : XX/XX/XXXX Credit Bureau XXXX XXXX Equifax Legal XXXX for XXXX Deletion : XXXX. Fraudulent Transactions Nullify the Charge-Off ( 15 U.S.C. 1666 Fair Credit Billing Act ) This account contains fraudulent transactions that were disputed with XXXX XXXX. 
Under the **Fair Credit Billing Act ( 15 U.S.C . 1666 ), I am not legally responsible for unauthorized charges.

Because the reported balance was not valid, the charge-off itself is also invalid and must be removed immediately from my credit report.

2. Equifax is Violating the FCRA by Reporting Inaccurate Information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ) Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit bureaus can not report information that is inaccurate or unverifiable. 
Since the charge-off is based on fraudulent charges, it is legally inaccurate and must be deleted from my file immediately. 
3. If Equifax Can not Verify the Charge-Off, It Must Be Removed ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ) The FCRA requires credit bureaus to remove any item that is incorrect or can not be verified. 
If XXXX XXXX can not provide proof that this charge-off is valid, Equifax is legally required to delete it.

4. Federal Law Requires Immediate Deletion of Invalid Charge-Offs ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) ) A charge-off based on fraudulent activity is considered inaccurate reporting and must be removed immediately from my credit report.

On XX/XX/year>, I received a collection notice from XXXX XXXX ( account # XXXX ) attempting to collect {$12000.00}. Their notice SPECIFICALLY states : " XXXX XXXX is a debt collector. We are trying to collect a debt that you owe to XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and " You had an account from XXXX XXXX XXXX with account number XXXX. '' This explicit language creates an irrefutable connection to the court-sealed case. 

XXXX XXXX sent this collection notice to my former apartment address ( XXXX XXXX ) despite XXXX XXXX XXXX having my forwarding address from when I returned keys on XX/XX/year>, as required by our court agreement. 

The attempt to collect and report this debt violates : XXXX. The direct court order sealing the case XXXX. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( improper collection attempt ) XXXX. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( improper credit reporting of sealed case ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Fair Debt Collection Practices Act I have documentation of the court order with signatures and the collection notice explicitly naming XXXX XXXX XXXX, proving this collection stems directly from the sealed court case. This is causing damage to my credit and rental history - exactly what the court order was designed to prevent.

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: FIRST COMMONWEALTH FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
A total of {$2500.00} in unauthorized funds was transferred to a closed First Commonwealth business account. First Commonwealth is claiming they will keep the funds due to an old account with a balance owed. However, that debt was previously sold to a debt collector, meaning First Commonwealth no longer has a valid claim to these funds. 

I did not authorize First Commonwealth to keep these funds. Additionally, I have no access to any accounts with them, and they can not legally retain my money when the debt was sold. This appears to be an improper offset, and I am requesting an immediate reversal of the unauthorized transaction and a full refund of my funds.
