Consumer complaint received 2024-01-29 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number XXXX According to my credit report, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX has filed a charge-off in the amount of {$5200.00}. In light of this, I am writing to express my concern about the lack of proper documentation associated with this charge-off and to bring to your attention a potential violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

As per my understanding of IRS regulations, when a creditor charges off an amount owed by a customer, it is required to issue a Form 1099-C to the debtor. This form is crucial for accurate reporting of income and compliance with tax regulations. To date, I have not received any such form from XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I am concerned about the potential repercussions of not having the necessary documentation for tax purposes. 

Moreover, I believe that the lack of documentation from XXXX XXXX XXXX may constitute a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The FCRA mandates that accurate and complete information be reported by creditors, and failure to provide essential documentation may result in inaccurate reporting on my credit file. 

In light of the above, I kindly request that you investigate the matter and ensure that XXXX XXXX XXXX provides the necessary documentation, including a Form 1099-C, related to the charge-off on my credit report. I am seeking clarity on the validity of this charge-off and require the proper documentation to fulfill my tax obligations. 

Please provide me with updates on the status of your investigation and any steps taken to rectify this matter. Your prompt attention to this request is greatly appreciated, and I trust that you will take the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the FCRA.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Several weeks ago, my auto and home insurer said that LexisNexis provided a different address for me, than is on my insurance policy and that it might affect my premiums. I've lived in this house 32 years and have not lived anywhere else. 

I've repeatedly asked LexisNexis to provide this information to me. I've submitted my information, numerous times on their internet form ( https : //consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/help ). Each time, it tells me that their mailbox is full and rejects the attached document. I've also, at the request of LexisNexis phone support, sent a photo of my driver 's license to them at email address XXXX. That email was rejected with the following message : From : XXXX XXXX Sent : Tuesday, XX/XX/2024 XXXXXXXX XXXX To : XXXX Subject : Undeliverable : CWP Help form : Submitting Question w/documentation [ XXXX XXXX XXXX [ Sending Documents ] [ Case # XXXX ] Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups : XXXX The recipient 's mailbox is full and can't accept messages now. Please try resending your message later, or contact the recipient directly. 

My last attempt, again at the advice of their phone support, was to send a hardcopy of my driver 's license to their office in XXXX. I did so, via certified mail, with a return receipt. They received that document on XX/XX/2024. 

I still don't have a copy of my credit report from LexisNexis.
