RE : Improper filing of XXXX form- I am writing to address the lack of response to my previous notice regarding the request for a copy of the XXXX filed for the charged-off debt. XXXX  XXXX XXXX failure to provide a response leaves me no choice but to assume that you have neglected to comply with XXXX law by not filing a XXXX as mandated. Consequently, I am compelled to inform you that I will report XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IRS for XXXX XXXX XXXX using Form XXXX if prompt action is not taken. 

Furthermore, it is imperative that you notify XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX to delete this information from my credit report immediately. The accounts in question is detailed as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX As per IRS regulations XXXX a canceled debt of {$600.00} or more necessitates the filing of a XXXX form by federal or government agencies, or applicable financial entities. Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes tax fraud, a serious offense that I will not hesitate to report to the IRS. 

It is essential to understand that a canceled debt is considered ordinary income by the IRS. Consequently, any failure to file a XXXX form, or any attempt to conceal such actions, constitutes inaccurate reporting. XXXX is not to be included on a credit report, and any such inclusion violates consumer laws and regulations. 

Your company 's actions are in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically XXXX XXXX XXXX, which outlines the responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. Under this statute, it is prohibited to furnish inaccurate information knowingly or with reasonable cause to believe it is inaccurate. 

It is evident from my previous communication and this notice that there is reasonable cause to believe the information provided is inaccurate. Therefore, it is imperative that you take immediate steps to rectify this situation by deleting the inaccurate information from all consumer reporting agencies. 

Failure to comply will result in legal action being pursued, including holding the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, accountable for willful noncompliance under XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ). This statute stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with FCRA requirements XXXX be liable for damages sustained by the consumer. 

I am currently in the process of securing housing, and the inaccurate information on my credit report is hindering my progress. I urge you to act swiftly and cease reporting this item to avoid further complications.

By law, I am entitled to update or remove late payments or delete this account from my credit report. Despite my previous attempts to resolve this matter, your agency has continued to verify and update the account without correcting the inaccuracies. Therefore, I must inform you that if my request is not fulfilled within 30-45 days, I will pursue legal action to seek damages of {$1000.00} for each inaccuracy reported on my credit file. Please treat this matter with urgency. I expect a prompt response confirming the deletion of this account from my credit report. Thank you for your immediate attention to this important matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "
