It is illegal and fraudulent for any company to knowingly and willingly tell the IRS that they took a financial loss and cancelled a debt to reduce their income tax liability then turn around and still try to " double dip '' on the consumer by intentionally and falsely seeking to collect/benefit twice on same such debt. They issued a 1098 for the consumer to pay, reduce their tax liability by said amount, yet they are knowingly and willingly reporting and trying to collect this same amount every month as recently as XX/XX/XXXX despite me disputing and writing all parties several times a year. This is illegal and egregious, malicious behavior that has caused reprehensible and irreversible and substantial harm to my credit, FICO, name and finances. I attempt several times a year to resolve this issue with XXXX XXXX, Experian, XXXX and XXXX to no avail including most recently in XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX. XXXX, Experian, XXXX and XXXX all respond with dispute resolved consumer disagrees ; without actually investigating ; further causing me harm day by day. I even recently in XX/XX/XXXX wrote Experian, XXXX and XXXX using the CFPB platform and again uploaded the IRS proof and again they responded with a reckless response and closed out the complaint. 

XXXX is intentionally and purposefully still reporting monthly to the XXXX credit bureaus against my name and FICO causing me further harm day by day ; while fully knowing that they told the IRS that they took a loss and this debt was cancelled. This is illegal and purposeful. 

The Credit bureaus are also recklessly and willfully complicit by refusing to investigate, look at the paperwork provided and IRS records of company canceled the debt and Failed to investigate fraudulent, outdated errors reporting on my credit report as required by FCRA and CFPB consumer laws XXXX XXXX  XXXX Furthermore such collections are against Federal and the State laws of California and you have violated my rights. IRS proof attached. 


XXXX, Experian, XXXX, and XXXX credit reporting agencies trying to collect this debt while fraudulently, illegally and erroneously dragging down my name and FICO score for over XXXX  months.
