Company: COLUMBIA BANKING SYSTEM, INC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I am the buyer of a business where the seller gave false information to Umpqua Bank in order to get a SBA loan approved. After the business closed the supplier told me I the sellers were not allowed to sell product the way they were and that I was given false information. The loan was approved because of this. Ultimately the business failed. Without this false information the loan would not have been approved and I would have not lost my investment.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Re : Formal Dispute of Account Balance - AMEX Account Ending in XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally dispute the reported balance associated with the above-referenced account. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. The balance reported for this account is incorrect, and I am requesting a thorough investigation and correction. 

This account was charged off by American Express ( AMEX ) and is now under the purview of XXXX XXXX XXXX for collection. A charged-off account is recognized as a financial loss for the original creditor, and, under generally accepted accounting principles, AMEX should XXXX longer report any balance due. Therefore, the balance should reflect zero, and any continued reporting of this balance by AMEX is misleading and inaccurate. 

Furthermore, I have noted that AMEX has been engaging in a predatory and fraudulent practice by continuously re-reporting late payments every month on this closed and charged-off account. This is not only a violation of the FCRA but also an unethical and deceptive tactic aimed at damaging my creditworthiness. These actions undermine the integrity of credit reporting and constitute fraudulent behavior on the part of AMEX. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I also request that XXXX XXXX XXXX provide full validation of this debt, including : 1. Documentation proving the accuracy of the amount claimed. 
2. A detailed explanation of why AMEX is reporting a balance despite the account being charged off.

3. Proof of XXXX XXXX XXXX legal authority to collect this debt. 

If AMEX and XXXX XXXX XXXX can not substantiate the claims regarding this account, I respectfully request that : 1. AMEX immediately update its records to reflect a zero balance on this account and cease any further re-reporting of late payments. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX halt all collection activity on this account, in accordance with the FDCPA. 

Please respond to this dispute within the legally mandated time frame as required by the FCRA. Additionally, I demand that you refrain from reporting this debt or any associated balance to any credit reporting agencies while this dispute is under investigation. 

Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated. Please provide all correspondence in writing to the address listed above. 

Sincerely,

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
