      As per IRS regulations, a canceled debt of $600 or more necessitates the filing of a 1099-C form by federal or government agencies, or applicable financial entities. Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes tax fraud, a serious offense that I will not hesitate to report to the IRS.

      It is essential to understand that a canceled debt is considered ordinary income by the IRS. Consequently, any failure to file a 1099-C form, or any attempt to conceal such actions, constitutes inaccurate reporting. Income is not to be included on a credit report, and any such inclusion violates consumer laws and regulations.

      Your company's actions are in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), specifically 15 USC 1681s-2, which outlines the responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. Under this statute, it is prohibited to furnish inaccurate information knowingly or with reasonable cause to believe it is inaccurate.

      It is evident from my previous communication and this notice that there is reasonable cause to believe the information provided is inaccurate. Therefore, it is imperative that you take immediate steps to rectify this situation by deleting the inaccurate information from all consumer reporting agencies.

      Failure to comply will result in legal action being pursued, including holding the ******** **** ** ******* accountable for willful noncompliance under 15 USC 1681n(a)(1)(A). This statute stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with FCRA requirements may be liable for damages sustained by the consumer.

      Dear BBB Complaint Department:

      Thank you for
      your correspondence dated January 30, 2025. It is our goal at Republic Finance,
      LLC (“Republic Finance”) to provide excellent service and we
      welcome the opportunity to address the concerns of our customers. Please allow
      this to serve as Republic Finance’s response to case #22872796.  As requested by the BBB guidelines, we have
      left all personal identifying information, including the consumer’s name, out
      of this response. Instead, we refer to the consumer as “the Consumer.”

      Republic
      Finance immediately reviewed the Consumer’s statements made therein. Under the
      Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), Republic Finance is obligated to
      investigate credit disputes that are complete and meet certain
      requirements.  According to the FCRA, a
      dispute notice is complete when it is submitted in writing directly to the creditor
      (i.e., not through a private, non-profit organization such as the BBB) and
      includes the following: (1) sufficient information to identify the account in
      dispute (e.g., consumer's full name, address, telephone number, and account
      number); (2) the specific information that is being disputed and an explanation
      of the basis for the dispute; and (3) all supporting documentation or
      information to substantiate the dispute, to the extent available (e.g., a copy
      of the relevant portion of the consumer report that contains the allegedly
      inaccurate information, a police report, a fraud or identity theft affidavit, a
      court order, or account statements). Therefore, Republic Finance has determined
      the Consumer’s credit dispute is incomplete because it does not meet all of the
      three afore-mentioned requirements.  If the
      Consumer has any additional information to satisfy the requirements set forth
      above, she is welcome to submit a complete dispute notice directly to: Republic
      Finance, LLC, Attn: Credit Dispute Team, 7031 Commerce Circle, Suite 100, Baton
      Rouge, LA 70809-1394.  Upon receipt of the
      Consumer’s complete dispute notice, Republic Finance will investigate the
      dispute, correct any inaccuracies that may be discovered, and report back to her.

                     If
      you have any questions or additional information, please feel free to contact
      me.

      Sincerely,

      Republic Finance received my check for a payment on a Loan in their after hours drop box and never deposited it. I received an email indicating my payment was going to be late I went to the local office, they HAD MY CHECK. I informed them I received a late notice, they apologized and said they got my check in the drop box but it was misplaced because of the 'Holidays'.

      I completely lost trust with them so I paid off the entire balance of this loan and they gave me the check from November that I had placed in the drop box back.

      They then reported me being late and my credit score took a 60 point hit.

      Dear BBB Representative or To Whom It May Concern,

      I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding Republic Finance's inaccurate and misleading reporting practices on my Experian credit report. Below are the details of the account in question:

      Creditor Name: Republic Finance
      Account Number: *************
      Original Balance: $2,073
      Current Status: Charged Off and Past Due
      Issue:
      The account is being reported as "charged off" while simultaneously reflecting a "past due" balance of $1,898. This dual reporting is inconsistent with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which mandates that information furnished to credit reporting agencies be accurate, complete, and not misleading.

      Additionally, since the account was charged off in June 2019, I should have received a 1099-C (Cancellation of Debt) form for tax purposes. To date, I have not received this form, which further suggests irregularities in Republic Finance's handling of this account.

      Republic Finance stole around $600 from me through overcharged interest rates. Each month they added an additional $20 to my account for the 3 years which comes to the previous stated total. When you log in to your account each month, the only thing it shows is the amount you owe minus an interest rates, etc. Each time I called to inquire about this, all management would say is they did not know why this is all that was showing each month. They denied this was happening, but I kept my own records and then asked them about the additional $20 each month and one manager said it was interest. I explained to him again that I could not really see what was happening with my account. Each time I inquired, I received a different answer.

      The loan in question was charged off, and as per standard reporting practices, it should appear on my credit report as a charge-off only for the month in which it was charged off. However, the company has been reporting that this account has been reported as a charge-off every single month for the past three years. This repeated reporting is incorrect and does not comply with established credit reporting guidelines. In addition they will not give me the 1099-C showing that the account as been charged off and I have been contacted by a collection agency. (Please see the attached)

      I was asked by a family friend to co-sign on a loan and with much hesitation, I finally decided to see what I could do to help him out. Much to my chagrin, the ensuing "credit check" not only resulted in a "ding" to my credit report though they SAY you can pre-qualify with no impact. *******************************/ It should have been a soft check, not a hard check -as their website advertising states- and not only that, but after checking my credit, an employee of the company (Erica?) participated in a DATA BREACH that caused information on my credit report to be released and leaked OUTSIDE of the agency without my permission. They did not have permission from me to leak confidential information to the individual that was specifically for business use only. They should pull the hard check off my credit report immediately and apologize for giving out my personal information over the phone to someone who was not authorized to have it.

      The purpose of my e-mail is due to the lack of communication with Republic Finance Company and my self. I am facing finical hardships, declining health, I was placed on a reduced payment plan. Without my knowledge I am making payments in the amount of $160.00 each month to work on paying my account with Republic Finance Company and myself . I was removed from the program without notification of any form be it a cellphone call, letter. not even a certified action so that I would be able to have open dialogue with the Finance Company. I receive threats of what I need to do before the company begins to remove items from my home. I am at the end of my rope. I would like to receive the opportunity to work this problem out, however I am unable to do so by my self. This is a company that I remained loyal to this company for. It is sad but true I understandable when I allowed this company to use me instead of aiding me with other option to pay my bill in such away to still feed myself. I am sixty-one years of age with lung cancer, and many other health problems. I am simply requesting what is fair in this situation. What if any options do I have without destroying or removing my property along with my credit?

      Best regards

      I feel like I’m being harassed from them. I know I might be a little over a week late, making my payment, but I’m caught up until the payment that’s due now that’s a few weeks past due. And today I received two phone calls with voice messages and a text message all within an hour. This isn’t the first time they’ve done this. It is getting to the point where they don’t even give you time to respond back because people do work and we can’t just answer the phone, and it was only an hour and I received two phone calls and a text message and they both left voicemails. I thought they can only call once and leave one voice message. And a lot of times they are rude when you do talk to them. I work in customer service I do home health been doing it for many many years and I think everybody deserves respect and a little courtesy when you’re talking to them to me if you can’t at least be nice and understanding then you don’t need to be in customer service that’s why I always go on the app to make my payments so I don’t have to talk to none of them.

      Dear BBB Complaint Department:

      Thank
      you for your correspondence dated November 21, 2024.  It is our goal at Republic Finance, LLC
      ("Republic Finance") to provide excellent customer service and
      we welcome the opportunity to address the concerns of our customers. Please
      allow this to serve as Republic Finance's response to case #22588800.  As requested by the BBB guidelines, I have
      left all personal identifying information, including the consumer's name, out
      of this response.  Instead, we refer to the
      consumer as "the Consumer."

      In her
      complaint, the Consumer states that she has requested Republic Finance cease calls
      regarding her account going forward. Upon receiving this complaint, Republic
      Finance investigated this matter immediately and removed the Consumer’s phone
      numbers from her account. Additionally, Republic Finance has notated the
      account to reflect her request that Republic Finance not contact her going
      forward regarding this debt.


      If you
      have any questions or additional information, please feel free to contact me.

      Sincerely,

      They put a garnishment on my check and have now taken out $679.65 over and there is no real way to get in contact with them about getting my money back.

      Thank you for

      opportunity to address the concerns of our customers. Please allow this to

      Upon
      receiving this complaint, Republic Finance immediately investigated the
      Consumer’s statements made therein. 
      Republic Finance has confirmed with the BBB that the Consumer’s
      complaint and desired resolution are outside the BBB’s purview due to the fact
      that it pertains to a matter allegedly involving active litigation. Republic
      Finance is mailing a letter under separate cover to the Consumer in response to
      this complaint and considers this matter closed.

      If you have
      any questions or additional information, please feel free to contact me.
