Complaint ID: 8198579

Date Received: 2024-01-22

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: 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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I've contacted the Credit Reporting agencies via phone and mail in regard to continuously reporting a charged-off account to my credit profile. The XXXX account has been canceled and forgiven by the lender. This account has been written off by lender and is now taxable income. INCOME CAN NOT BE REPORTED on a consumer report. I've requested a total of 3 times for this information to be removed and updated. This debt is not disputable, the company has filed it on their taxes, and tax write-offs can not be reported. This account is being illegally and inaccurately reported on my credit profile. Furnishing this account to my profile is in violation of 15 USC 1681 ( E ) B. Each credit reporting agency has the responsibility of reporting maximum accuracy. This inaccurate reporting is severely impacting my ability to obtain credit and also violating my rights as a consumer..
