Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Portnoy Schneck, L.L.C.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have a payment arrangement for a student loan account which was agreed to in XXXX of 2023. A form had to be signed and shared with Portnoy then they provided me with an online account to electronically make the payments every month ( includes a file number ). I have made the payments every single month and timely & Portnoy has acknowledged this yet they have are lying to to the credit bureaus when they report every month and indicate that my account is not current. Ive called multiple times and keep getting different stories with false promises of reporting the account as current yet they have not done so. They are not only falsely reporting to credit bureaus but also destroying my credit in the process. This needs to be rectified immediately - its unethical and illegal.

Complaint narrative:
When checking my credit report to buy a home, I saw XXXX XXXX XXXX listed. I called them to request a 1099c because the debt showed as charged-off and written off for {$6600.00} on both my and cosigner credit reports back in XX/XX/XXXX. However, it also strangely showed an updated balance of {$7400.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX. 

I asked the XXXXXXXX XXXX representative to explain why they were reporting the debt this contradictory way when she stated it was not written off. The rep claimed it was not actually written off again, despite what the credit reports stated. I requested the 1099-C cancellation of debt form they should have sent me. The rep backtracked and said no 1099-C was available because the debt wasn't written off after all. 
This confused me, since they seemed to be reporting it as written off while still trying to collect on it from me and the primary borrower. The rep told me to contact law office who now has loan, admitting she couldn't properly answer my questions. 
I'm very concerned XXXX XXXX is being intentionally misleading and evasive about this debt they claim is not written off but reported that way. I'm seeking clear answers on why they are reporting and collecting on it contradictorily from 2 people as well as stating written off, which means it was filled on there taxes without sending me a 1099c form. According to the FCRA they are in violation as well as credit bureaus for reporting non verified information on my credit report. A written off or charged off account is a loss and is closed to any future charges. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting this account as charged-off and written off on my credit report, indicating they have canceled the debt. However, they are now suing me to collect on this same account. This contradictory reporting is inaccurate and violates provisions of the FCRA relating to consumer credit reporting rights. I formally dispute this misleading account information and request a full investigation and correction with deletion.
