Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

I received a letter from BANK OF AMERICA dated XXXX XXXX XXXX, in response to my request for the removal of the inaccurate information you reported about my account. My original letter was received by you on XXXX, via Certified Mail # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. However, after reviewing your response, I have noticed that you did not properly address the serious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other regulations I mentioned in my original letter. Let me reiterate and elaborate on the key points of my claim : Violation of the FCRA ( 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) ) : Under this law, consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure that the information reported is as accurate as possible. In your response, you reported my account as charged off or cancelled, while simultaneously classifying it as a collection. This contradiction is not only logically inconsistent but also legally incorrect. Your BANK OF AMERICA failure to do so represents a direct violation of the FCRA. can not treat an account as both cancelled and collected at the same time, which constitutes a direct violation of the FCRA. 
Definition of " Charge-Off '' and Tax Obligations ( IRS ) XXXX According to the IRS and general credit reporting guidelines , a charged-off account means the debt is forgiven, which requires the issuance of a Form 1099-C since the debt is considered cancelled for tax purposes. As you BANK OF AMERICA have confirmed, this form has not been issued, further supporting the inaccuracy of the information reported. Attempting to collect on a cancelled debt not only violates tax regulations but can also be considered fraudulent. 
Inaccuracy of the Reported Information ( 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) : Under this law, any entity reporting information to consumer reporting agencies is required to ensure that the information it reports is accurate. In my previous letter, I informed you of the discrepancies and inaccuracies related to my account. You BANK OF AMERICA, as the furnisher of this information, are obligated to correct it once notified. Your BANK OF AMERICA failure to do so represents a direct violation of the FCRA.
