Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Dispute of Obsolete/Incorrect Information in My Credit Report Under 15 USC 1681c and Non-Receipt of Form 1099-C Dear Credit Bure

au I am writing to dispute inaccurate and potentially obsolete information that appears on my credit report, in accordance with 15 USC Code 1681c of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, I am disputing the continued reporting of an account that I believe should no longer be included.

The account details are as follows : Creditor Name : Happy Money Account Number : XXXX Date of Delinquency/Charge-off/Closure : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Dispute : The debt in question should have been removed due to the passage of the [ seven-year ] reporting limit under 15 USC Code 1681c. Furthermore, I never received a Form 1099-C for the alleged cancellation of debt, which raises questions regarding the validity and status of this account.

Since I did not receive a Form 1099-C, there is no record that this debt was officially canceled or forgiven. This lack of documentation further supports my belief that the information is either obsolete or inaccurate and should not be included in my credit file.

I request that you : 1. Immediately remove the outdated or incorrect account from my credit report.

2. Conduct a thorough investigation to verify the accuracy of this information and determine why a Form 1099-C was not issued. 
3. Provide me with written confirmation that the disputed information has been removed or corrected once your investigation is complete. 

Under the FCRA, you are required to investigate this matter and correct any inaccuracies or outdated information within 30 days. Please consider this letter a formal dispute. 

I have enclosed a copy of my credit report with the disputed item highlighted, as well as copies of identification documents to verify my identity. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving confirmation that the erroneous information has been removed from my credit report. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into all of my accounts transactions.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of an item listed on my credit report, as provided by your agency. Specifically, I am disputing the collection account reported by Columbia debt recovery under the reference number XXXX, related to The XXXX ( the rental agency ). This account is reported incorrectly for the following reasons : 1. Incorrect Reported Amount The collection agency, Columbia debt recovery, is reflecting an incorrect amount of debt. I have verified that the amount being reported does not match the actual outstanding balance at the time the account was transferred to collections. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am entitled to receive accurate and complete information regarding the debt. As the amount reported by Columbia debt recovery is inaccurate, I request that the item be corrected to reflect the correct balance, or removed from my credit report if the discrepancy can not be resolved. 

2. Failure of Rental Agency to Send Final Bill Additionally, I am disputing the validity of this debt because I never received a final bill from the rental agency, XXXX XXXX, prior to the account being sent to collections. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), data furnishers are required to ensure that the information they report is accurate and complete. The failure of XXXX  XXXX to send a final bill or provide proper notification regarding the outstanding balance constitutes a violation of these reporting standards. 

I have made a good faith effort to resolve this matter directly with XXXX  XXXX and Columbia debt recovery, but have not received adequate communication or documentation to support the validity of the reported debt. 

Request for Resolution In accordance with the FCRA, I respectfully request that you investigate the discrepancies I have outlined and either update the information to reflect the correct balance or remove the negative entry entirely from my credit report. If the collection agency or the rental agency can not provide proper documentation to verify the debt and the correct amount, I request that this item be removed from my credit report as required by law. 

Please conduct this investigation as required under the FCRA and notify me of the results within 30 days. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact me should you need any further information
