Complaint:
I recently got preapproved for a new VA mortgage because I am shopping for a house. The day after, I have received phone calls after phone calls from supposed lenders. Some identifying themselves as working with the VA, or with XXXX. Some of the caller have been outright hostile, one even commenting that he had my social and date of birth all ready when I asked to be removed from the call list. When I tried to contact the three credit reporting agencies that must of sold my information without my permission I can not get anyone on the phone. But rather get bumped from automated message to automated message. If the credit agencies are in fact giving my Personal Protected Information out without my permission to unsolicited lenders I am extremely concerned.

Complaint:
The IRS generally considers canceled debt of {$600.00} or more as taxable, and settling debts for less than what's owed can increase your tax liability depending on your tax bracket and the canceled amount. UNDER IRS PUBLICATION 4681 Being that the following accounts were all charged off and over {$600.00} which is taxable income and reported to the irs as taxable income please remove the following accounts immediately from my credit report for illegally reporting income on my credit report. Income is not allowed to be reported to a credit report or suppose to be a factor within a credit report. 
IF EVERY DEBT IS CONSIDERED INCOME BECAUSE ITS CONSIDERED A SECURITY INCOME CANT BE REPORTED ON MY CREDIT REPORT NOR IS IT SUPPOSE TO BE! WHEN A CHARGE OFF IS FILED THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES FILED A 1099-C A CHARGE OFF IS CONSIDERED A SECURITY, WHICH MEANS IT IS CONSIDERED INCOME! ALL DISCHARGED DEBT ACCORDING TO IRS PUBLICATION 4681, ALL CHARGE OFFS OVER {$600.00} DUE TO THE IRS ARE CONSIDERED INCOME! INCOME IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE REPORTED TO MY CREDIT REPORT! 


Please immediately delete the following accounts immediately from my credit report! 

XXXX XXXX CHARGE OFF {$880.00}, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CHARGE OFF {$1100.00}, XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX CHARGE OFF {$620.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CHARGE OFF {$740.00}, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CHARGE OFF {$29000.00} XX/XX/XXXX When a Creditors writes off a debts after a set amount of timefor example, one, two, or three years after you default. The creditor stops its collection efforts, declares the debt uncollectible, and reports it to the IRS as lost income to reduce its tax burden. The same is true when you negotiate a debt reduction. The creditor will report the amount you didn't pay to the IRS. 
Of course, the IRS still wants to collect tax on this money, and it will turn to you for payment. Because you no longer have to pay the full amount of the debt, the IRS treats the forgiven amount as gained income, for which you should pay income taxes. ( That additional income might also affect your state taxes. )
