Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: My car loan was paid in full - my auto insurance & XXXX XXXX carriers paid MORE than the full balance of the loan. I'd previously filed a separate complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX because they were reporting my loan as a charge off. They sent a response advising there was an issue with the payment from the XXXX XXXX carrier but they initiated another claim to get the outstanding amount & would correct my credit report once they received the payment. After a review of their financial records, in XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sent a letter advising that they discovered my loan was actually overpaid & issued a refund check plus interest ( see attached ). For some XXXX forsaken reason, XXXX XXXX began actively reporting the account as a charge off on my credit reports in XX/XX/XXXX & have been doing so for the last 6 months. Not only was the loan MORE than paid in full & not charged off, the loan is from XXXX & has not been active in years so there is no reason for them to be actively reporting it on my credit as a current charge off. This is the second time I've had to file a complaint against XXXX XXXX for adding wrong/disparaging information on my credit report. Obviously, this new issue with them has resulted in ANOTHER credit drop at their hands, They continue to cause me distress, both emotional & financial, with their inaccurate reporting. They've been fined for poor/predatory banking practices so many times that it's unbelieveable they are still allowed to do business. When are you all going to actually protect consumers & shut them down?

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

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: in Accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report. The Credit Bureaus stated my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was properly investigated but how is that possible if the last date of activity is inaccurate, the date reported is inaccurate, and last payment is also inaccurate. This is ground for removal they also violated my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A states I have the right to privacy. 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A section 2 : it alos states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions. Also the credit reporting agency took more then 30 days to complete my investigation
