      This company is reporting charges off every single month and every time an account updates the statute of limitations is extended; every update makes the account look newer than it is. REAGING THE ACCOUNT IS ILLEGAL! The account has repeatedly been updated as charge-off every month. This is an update on the payment history. A charged off account should NOT include an active payment history. This inaccurate information falsely manipulates the statute of limitations. You failed to investigate this account properly and your neglect has violated my rights. I am demanding a deletion of the following account. Also this company never sent the proper 1099-c form a well. This is my final attempt at getting this account removed before litigation.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      They states that info was accurate but are reporting a charge every month. They should be reporting no data after the initial charge off report. They also never sent a 1099 c for this alleged charge off.
      my next step is to file with the sec & ftc and litigation.

      I have been banking with Teachers federal credit union for nearly 30 year. The bank now demands to know what I'm doing with my money by making me fill out a form to have approved. They have given no notice to their members about this new rule. I now have to wait until they give me permission.

      My wallet and several personal documents including my driver's license, ********************** card, debit card, and social security number were gone. I've found out that someone is impersonating me using my personal information. I recently discovered that there is an unapproved inquiry with the date January 5, 2023, on my credit report. I never gave the go-ahead for this investigation to be conducted, and I never did business with the aforementioned company. I discussed this with the creditor, but they never got back to me. Investigate it, please, and have it removed from my credit report as soon as possible.  Correction to a credit report
