I would like to draw your attention to two specific sections of the FCRA that support my dispute : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : Under this section, credit reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the reports they provide. The inclusion of inaccurate information violates this obligation. 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) : This section mandates that any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable must be promptly deleted or corrected by the credit reporting agency once a dispute is raised. I request that you conduct an investigation of these matters and delete or correct the inaccurate information on my report as required by law.

I look forward to receiving a response and updated report within the 30-day period, as specified under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

The law that prohibits a creditor from repeatedly reporting a charge-off as a new event each month is the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ). Specifically : 1. FCRA 605 ( a ) ( 4 ) Limits the reporting period of charge-offs to seven years from the original delinquency date ( the date the account first became late before being charged off ). This prevents creditors from re-aging or resetting the reporting timeline.

2. FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) Requires furnishers ( creditors and collection agencies ) to accurately report the date of first delinquency ( DOFD ) and prohibits them from altering this date to extend negative reporting.

3. FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) & ( a ) ( 3 ) States that information reported must be complete and accurate. Repeatedly reporting a charge-off as a new event violates this requirement because it misrepresents the actual status of the debt.

4. FTC Advisory Opinion ( Hood, 1998 ) The Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) has clarified that a charge-off is a one-time event and should not be reported month after month as a new charge-off. If a creditor does this, it may be considered unfair or deceptive under the FCRA.
