Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

Address on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Here is another address reported on my Equifax consumer report XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX WHICH ADDRESS IS THE CORRECT ADDRESS?

I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of an alleged debt that you have reported on my consumer
report which is XXXX XXXX. Specifically, your records reflect a charge-off/written off of this alleged debt ; however, please provide the required IRS Form 1099-C, which is necessary to confirm the reporting of this debt as forgiven and any related taxable event.

This failure to issue the required documentation raises significant concerns about the accuracy and validity of your reporting. It also constitutes violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), including but not limited to : 1. Inaccurate Reporting Under the FCRA, you are obligated to ensure that all information reported to consumer reporting agencies is accurate and complete. Reporting an alleged charge-off without issuing the appropriate IRS Form 1099-C is misleading and inaccurate, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2.

2. False or Misleading Representations Under the FDCPA, false or misleading representations concerning the character, amount, or legal status of a debt are prohibited ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ). Reporting an alleged debt without proper documentation to substantiate the write-off or forgiveness constitutes a clear violation.

3. Unfair Practices Reporting without proper reconciliation and compliance with legal obligations violates 15 U.S.C. 1692f, which prohibits unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt.

4. Charge offs are income. Congress says no income can be reported on my consumer credit reports. 15 USC 1681 ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) no transactions or experiences can be reported. Income is transactions and experience. 15 USC 1681 ( i ) What capital did you use in the transactions? Charge off means you lost something. What did you lose?

Under the FCRA, I have the right to dispute any inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information on my credit report. It is your legal obligation to investigate and either verify the accuracy of the debt or correct/remove the inaccurate reporting within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Failure to comply may result in additional violations of the FCRA, including but not limited to your responsibilities under 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ).

Additionally, under both the FCRA and FDCPA, I am entitled to damages for violations of these statutes : Statutory Damages : Up to {$1000.00} per violation under the FCRA and FDCPA.

Compensatory Damages : For any financial harm or emotional distress caused by your inaccurate and misleading reporting.

Punitive Damages : For willful noncompliance under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n ).

To resolve this matter, I demand that you : 1. Provide verification of the alleged debt including any supporting documentation of the charge-off and the required Form 1099-C.

2. Cease reporting the alleged debt as charged-off if you can not provide proper verification and issue the Form 1099-C.

3. Correct or remove the inaccurate information from my consumer report immediately.

If you fail to respond to this dispute and correct the inaccuracies within the statutory 30-day period, I will consider all legal remedies available to me, including filing complaints with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and the Office of the Attorney General, as well as pursuing a lawsuit for damages.

I look forward to your timely resolution of this dispute.
