Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I have experienced a hardship related to XXXX with this property and my tenant is unable to pay rent. I have missed XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX payments. I learned recently that XXXX XXXX  provided new guidelines starting XX/XX/2023 that were required by all servicers of XXXX XXXX mortgages to abide by. These guidelines include allowing 6 months of deferred payments to be kept in a non-interest-bearing account that is held until the mortgage maturity. Also, the missed payments that were deferred should not be reported negatively on the borrower 's credit report. 

Upon speaking with an account representative at Mr Cooper on XX/XX/XXXX, he seemed unaware of these terms and his system reflected only an allowance of 3 months of missed payments in a separate non-interest-bearing account. He also told me my missed payments would continue to be reported as being missed. It is as if his system did not have the newly required terms of XXXX XXXX XXXX Enhanced Deferral Program. 

See here for FHFA 's announcement : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX here for XXXX XXXX XXXX for these requirements laid out for lenders : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I paid for XXXX items. One item ( the red dress ) came with blue stains at the top. Another item ( the black two-piece set ) dimensions were off. The picture on the merchant 's website shows a crop top and short shorts. However, the shorts were longer than in the picture and the shirt was passed my navel, so not a crop top. I sent the pictures to the merchant, and they said they would give me an exchange or store credit. At first, I denied this offer but when I realized I could not get my money back I settled for exchanging one item for a dress that I don't even want and requesting store credit for the remainder of my money. At the time, the merchant did not have anything else on her site that I wanted. So, she said she would give me store credit. Since then, the merchant has stopped responding. So, I submitted a claim to affirm that was denied because they told me I had to resolve the issue with the merchant and that the merchant told them that there are no refunds due to COVID. However, I have messages from the merchant that offered me a refund and store credit despite these false claims that the merchant submitted to Affirm. I also have messages of me reaching out to the merchant to resolve the claim again and she never responded. As a result, I paid affirm and then disputed the transaction with XXXX and my bank who decided to provide me with a refund due to credit from the merchant not being applied. Now, affirm is charging me again for the items.
