I've been dealing with this issue going on 3 months now. And have not gotten a solution. I'm in the process of purchasing a home and this is hindering me. There's an ( Charged off ) account on my credit report from XXXX. XXXX sold this account to Gotham Collections. I have paid and satisfied the account with Gotham. Gotham wrote me a letter stating that the account is satisfied and requesting it be removed from my report. Gotham also stats that they can't report themselves because XXXX is the original creditor and they are the company reporting to the bureaus. However, XXXX stats that they can't report because they sold the account. Both companies are saying they can't report. How can the issue be resolved. I've disputed this account multiple times. Each time it's come back as transferred by XXXX. The credit bureaus are stating that they can't do anything about it because the only company who can report is XXXX because that's who's on my report. I really need a solution asap. Im in the process of purchasing a home and this is the only issue.

I am writing to dispute inaccurate information that has been reported by settled accounts on my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have noticed discrepancies that need to be addressed promptly. I am concerned that this inaccurate reporting is negatively impacting my credit score and financial standing. SHARONXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. Despite settling this account, the information reported inaccurately suggests otherwise. It is my understanding that settled accounts should reflect their accurate status on my credit report, and any discrepancy is not only misleading but also damaging to my creditworthiness. The terms of our settlement agreement clearly outlined that the account would be considered satisfied upon completion of the agreed-upon settlement amount. Therefore, I am puzzled as to why this information is not accurately reflected on my credit report.

My wages were garnished on XXXX due to a collections debt. Im unaware the debt, has never spoken to this collections company and the debt has not been VALIDATED. The collections company is in violation of the FDCPA guidelines as NO written notice was provided/ received by me prior to this garnishment therefore I had NO TIME to try and resolve. My correct address is updated with all 3 major credit bureaus so Im unsure why a notice was sent to an INCORRECT ADDRESS. I believe that is an UNFAIR tactic used by this collections company to try and collect payment due to my employer being located ( and not my address? ). The attorney of the collections company LIED to my employer stating I am in communication with their office and that I am aware of the debt and garnishment notice, WHEN I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING. This is incorrect and is considered Unfair Practice as unconscionable means were taken.

This company is supposedly collecting on an auto loan which was paid. The company they are collecting for is in the name of Sharon Holding Corp. which I have no idea who this is. They and the attorney have harrassed me in so many ways. They have threatened to garnish my wages, have me arrested and levied upon my bank account before a set court date. They will not supply any paperwork to me regarding this debt after many attempts to have them submitted to me.
