Ive dried for several months to say you were reporting inaccurate information on my consumer report regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX and my dispute has been neglected to properly be investigated as several request to do so. Im looking how youre describing the account type for the alleged agreement is known as by its governing laws as credit sale. There is no loan agreement in place at all. No goods or money was loaned to me the alleged debtor. This is a violation of the FCRA to knowingly furnish or report false information. Also, according to the IRS, a canceled debt is ordinary income and income is not reported on a consumer report. Also, my account with XXXX showing an alleged auto loan has been accelerated and according to the laws that govern credit sale transactions. The payment should be obsolete and should be listed as {$0.00}. It also an violation to willfully furnish inaccurate and incorrect information a c consumer report.
