Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, in connection with an account under my name that was charged off by your institution and subsequently reported as such on my credit report.

As outlined in IRS regulations under Section 6050P of the Internal Revenue Code, creditors are required to issue a Form 1099-C when a debt of {$600.00} or more has been canceled or discharged. It is my understanding that since the charged-off debt has been written off by your institution, it constitutes a cancellation of debt, and I should have been provided with the appropriate tax documentation in accordance with the law. 

Failure to provide a 1099-C form for canceled debts could be considered a violation of the IRS reporting requirements, which obligates creditors to report forgiven or discharged debts in excess of {$600.00}. It is essential for me to have this form to accurately report the canceled debt on my tax returns, and I would like to resolve this matter in a timely manner to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations. 

Please send the 1099-C form at your earliest convenience, either to my physical address or via email at XXXX Should you require any additional information or documentation from my end, I am more than willing to cooperate to expedite the process. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and resolution of this issue.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ).

After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX experian Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report.

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report.

I request an immediate investigation of the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I request that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that I be provided with an updated copy of my credit report once any necessary corrections have been made. A copy of my identification is attached to verify my identity. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation.
