Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

I contacted Conns account manager- XXXX I requested several item 's. Number XXXX, the account was reported to all XXXX bureaus as " Reopened ''. A charge off account can not be " reopened ''. I was informed it was sent back to Conns from the debt collection agency and reported as reopened.

I then inquired as to why I did not receive a 1099-c cancellation of debt? if the account was reported as " written off as bad debt ''? Income can not be reported as " Bad Debt '' but infact should be reporte
d as " INCOME '' per IRS guidelines if they Conns has infact received a tax credit for the debt. This is fraud.

He assured me they do not write off debts and I should make a payment to dismiss the debt.

I agreed to a settlement if and only if they do not owe me a 1099-c. After speaking with IRS, they do owe me a cancellation of debt 1099 c. This company is comitting fraud.

Be advised this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. Under the Fair Debt collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to request validation of the debt you say I owe you. I am requesting proof that I am indeed the party you are asking to pay this debt, and there is some contractual obligation that is binding on me to pay this debt beyond your acceptance of tax credits issued to receive a write off as bad debt. Once this occurs, the proper protocol is to issue a 1099- c cancellation of debt and to stop monthly reporting of collection activity.

Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found or continues to report on any of my credit reports by your company or the company you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Defamation of Character per {$1000.00} infraction small claims court.
