I would like to say there has been a violation of 15 U.S code 1681b, which states " a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstance and no other ; In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates '' which I never gave. I checked my credit report and found items that were being reported inaccurate and false. There has been another violation of 15 U.S code 1681c, which states " This subchapter clearly states no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information ; accounts placed for collections '' which is inaccurate and being reported anyways. A third violation of 15 U.S code 1681e says " Every consumer reporting agency shall make a reasonable effort to verify the identity of a new prospective user and the uses certified by such prospective user prior to furnishing such user consumer report '' which never took place. These items being reported are causing actual damages and causing me to be denied things needed to provide for my children and household. They have been put on notice with a notarized dispute letter via certified mail.

Complaint:
I submitted a claim before about Midland Credit Management, and the laws that were broken against me. However, in response Midland explained themselves on their behalf, and now after 30 days have passed I reviewed my credit report again and I'm seeing all the incorrect information that is reporting on my credit report. Midland still have not responded to my request of sending me validation of the account in the specific things that I've asked them to send to me as a result of validating the account. This is a on-going battle between Midland and myself, and I am getting nowhere with Midland, meanwhile they are reporting false information upon my account all while not ever validating the account to me. It's past the 30 day allowance for me to have received the information I've previously requested of them to send to me, and it was actually sent using the CFPB portal. Midland need to remove this account off of my credit report immediately!

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Experian has constantly and consistently reported inaccurate information on my consumer report, even after being notified several times. The reporting of such inaccurate information has caused severe damage to my character, my reputation, my general mode of living, and my ability to obtain credit for personal, business, and home purposes. 

15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( a ) DUTY OF FURNISHERS OF INFORMATION TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION 1 ) PROHIBITION ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

As Defined by the IRS, even if you didnt receive a Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as gross income on your tax return. 

The IRS clearly defines a charge-off as Gross or ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT, which in fact makes Experian reporting of my account inaccurate! 

By definition the IRS clearly says a Canceled debt or Charge-off is income. Experian reporting of my account as a debt is INACCURATE. 

I am again attaching a copy of the IRS publication and a copy of my consumer report showing that Experian is intentionally furnishing inaccurate information on my consumer report even after being notified of the inaccuracy and being provided with a copy of the IRS publication which states that a charge-off is considered gross or ordinary income.
