Consumer complaint received 2025-01-25 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This letter serves as a formal notice regarding the inaccurate reporting of the above-referenced account on my credit report. It has come to my attention that this account has been reported as a charge-off, yet it continues to reflect a balance. This inconsistency violates my rights under federal consumer laws, specifically the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and 15 USC 1692.

According to the FCRA, only accurate, complete, and verifiable information may be reported on a consumers credit file. Reporting this account as a charge-off while simultaneously listing a balance is both misleading and damaging to my credit score. Furthermore, this may constitute an unfair and deceptive practice, as a charge-off is considered a loss to the creditor and should not be simultaneously reported as outstanding debt.

Additionally, I have never received a XXXX form to account for this debt as income, which raises further concerns about the legal and procedural handling of this account. If the debt has been charged off and forgiven, as reported, it can not legally remain as a balance affecting my credit report. Income from charge-offs is not to be reported on my credit file, as it misrepresents my financial obligations. 

I demand the following actions be taken immediately : Reinvestigate and correct the reporting of this account to reflect accurate and lawful information. 
Provide all documentation and verification, including original account agreements, statements, and correspondence, demonstrating the validity of the balance and charge-off status. 
Explain why a balance is still reported if the account is noted as a charge-off. 
Permanently delete this account from my credit report if the information can not be fully verified or corrected. 
Please treat this letter as a formal request under 15 USC 1692c, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and any other applicable federal laws. Continued inaccurate reporting and failure to address these concerns will be considered a violation of my consumer rights, and I will pursue all necessary legal remedies. 

I expect your agency to resolve this matter and provide me with written confirmation of your findings and actions within receipt of this letter. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Should you have any questions or require further details, I am reachable at the contact information provided below.

Company: Larry H. Miller Group of Companies
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I purchased a used vehicle, financed with Prestige Financial Svcs Inc. In XX/XX/XXXX, my XXXX XXXX XXXX was totaled. I was in year XXXX of a XXXX XXXXXXXX plan, with my car loan crammed down, the balance well below $ XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX -- insurance co for the person who crashed into me, paid the value of the vehicle directly to Prestige, over $ XXXX. I called and verified receipt of the payoff by Prestige, which should have covered the total amount due on the loan, with a credit due me. A XXXX claim was initiated by Prestige in XX/XX/XXXX, though the payoff was sufficient to pay the remainder owed on this account. Prestige continued to pursue payment from me. In XX/XX/XXXX, Prestige began reporting 180 days late on my credit report, leading to a reporting of charged off, with an exorbitant amount reportedly due. This was highly injurious to my credit rating. Collection attempts continued throughout XXXX. Since then, I have received calls, emails and mailings regarding this account. Prestige continues to monitor my credit report, inquiring in XX/XX/XXXX, possibly more recently ; I have not checked my report since XXXX. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a XXXX, forgiving {$1900.00} -- an arbitrary amount, with date of identifiable event listed as XX/XX/XXXX, for the same account. This will have tax implications for me, as it is to be considered income. My dealings with Prestige should have concluded in XXXX. This is highly irregular, irresponsible and improper. It's abusive, predatory and it should not stand.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the incorrect addresses listed on my credit report. Upon reviewing my report, I have found that there are addresses listed that I have never lived at. These addresses are inaccurate and should not be attached to my credit file. As a result, I am requesting the removal of these incorrect addresses, as well as the removal of any information or accounts associated with these addresses. 

The addresses in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have never resided at these locations, and I believe that they have been mistakenly linked to my credit history. As such, I request that not only the addresses be removed but also any and all accounts or information attached to them be fully removed from my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are required to ensure the accuracy of the information on my credit report. The presence of incorrect addresses and any associated information violates the requirement for accurate reporting and could unfairly impact my creditworthiness.

If this matter is not resolved within a reasonable time frame, I will consider escalating it through the appropriate channels, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ).
