Im writing to formally dispute inaccurate and unacceptable information that is currently showing on my credit report. Ive reviewed my report carefully, and I found entries that are flat-out wrong and do not reflect my actual financial activity or history. 

Specifically, the information in question is either outdated, incorrectly reported, or completely unrelated to any account Ive ever opened or authorized. I did not consent to, authorize, or participate in the activity that has been recorded under my name. 

This misinformation is not only misleading, it is actively damaging my creditworthiness and potentially impacting my ability to secure housing, employment, or financial services which is completely unacceptable.

Company: American Credit Acceptance, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I noticed that the account from AMERICAN CREDIT ACCEPT is reported as XXXX XXXX  with a large past due balance. However, this XXXX  is actually a certificate of indebtedness, which according to IRS guidelines XXXX be treated as income and not as a XXXX debt collection. Despite my attempts to dispute this with the creditor, they continue to report it inaccurately. This has unfairly XXXX my XXXX XXXX. I am requesting a correction to show the account as XXXX XXXX XXXX  rather than a XXXX  in compliance with federal laws including the Fair Credit Reporting Act and IRS regulations XXXX 

I am formally disputing the reporting of the AMERICAN CREDIT ACCEPT account ( Account Number : XXXX ) on my XXXX XXXXThe account is currently marked as XXXX XXXX  with a past due balance of {$11000.00}. I assert that this XXXX  is actually a certificate of indebtedness, which under applicable law is considered income and therefore should not be reported as a XXXX  item on my XXXX XXXX 

According to IRS Publication XXXX, XXXX XXXX  is treated as a certificate of indebtedness and is recognized as income for tax purposes. Reporting such a XXXX as a XXXX collection item conflicts with its status and is therefore misleading. 

Under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ), it is illegal to report inaccurate or misleading information, including transaction histories that misrepresent the nature of a debt. Additionally, XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ( Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ) prohibits debt XXXX from using false, deceptive, or misleading representations, which includes mischaracterizing the status of debt on credit reports. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Please conduct a thorough legal and compliance review of this accounts reporting practices in light of the IRS guidelines and federal consumer protection laws. The inaccurate XXXX status violates both IRS regulations XXXX income recognition and the XXXX XXXX XXXX Acts mandates for accurate reporting. Continued misreporting could result in enforcement actions under these statutes. 

Therefore, I request the removal of the inaccurate XXXX  status and that this account be reported as XXXX XXXX XXXX to accurately reflect the true status and prevent unfair XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Please investigate this matter thoroughly and update my XXXX XXXX accordingly.

Complaint narrative:
I had a credit card with HSBC that I never paid a fee on. I have not used this credit card in a number of years ( XXXX balance ). They unilaterally started charging me a fee this year but never notified me of that fee by mail. I realized this was the case when they sent me a late fee notice in XXXX this year, which was a late fee due to my not paying the annual fee that I never agreed to. I immediately called them and closed the credit card and they agreed to waive the fees on the card. 

I thought that was the end of the matter until yesterday XXXX when I received a XXXX credit notification that indicated that my credit score was severely affected by a late payment. HSBC is refusing to inform the credit rating agencies that this was their error.
