Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

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

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: 34 CFR 682.208 ( 3 ) Due Diligence in Servicing a Loan : " Upon receipt of a valid identity theft report as defined in section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681a ) or notification from a consumer reporting agency that information furnished by the lender is a result of an alleged identity theft as defined in 682.402 ( e ) ( 14 ), an eligible lender shall suspend consumer reporting agency reporting for a period not to exceed 120 days while the lender determines the enforceability of a loan. '' As a result of attempting to communicate with XXXX over a year on my loan, I ultimately stopped payment on my loans in XX/XX/ in order not to ratify any modifications to my contract after discovering identity theft in the form of an unauthorized XXXX application in XX/XX/2023, which XXXX now admits was not applicable to my account. ( Notably, had XXXX pushed my payments ahead due to all of the overpayments, I would be years ahead at this point. ) I provided proof of identity theft ( attached ), yet my credit reports have not been updated in accordance with the foregoing section. I am a small business owner and unable to obtain favorable interest-rate loans for the continued operation of my company as a result of the effect of this identity theft and failure to properly service my loan.
