XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX can not collect on a XXXXscharged debt. This is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS and income can not be reported. The IRS Clearly defines a charge-off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which makes the reporting of this account inaccurate! I provided a screenshot from the IRS website. By Definition, the IRS says a Cancelled debt or charge-off is Income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate. I never received a 1099-C from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the canceled debt of { { {$12000.00} } } in order to file as ordinary income. Where is my 1099-C XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  writing off debt with the IRS without sending out 1099-C as required by the IRS for debts greater than { { {$600.00} } }. This is unsatisfactory! XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE that they are furnishing inaccurate information. This is your 7-day notice to return ALL money due from this consumer account.
