Notice to Agent is notice to principal notice to principal is a notice to agent. 
I am contacting you because I have found some excluded information on my credit report. 

I noticed this account on my credit report has turned in a charge-off due to the financial problems Ive been going through. The account from XXXX XXXX in a balance of {$1300.00} has been " written off ''. I am referencing relevant sections of the FCRA, 15 USC 1681s-2 and IRS guidelines about reporting canceled debt. As per the law, those who provide information to Credit Reporting Agencies are obligated to ensure the information is accurate. I am cognizant of the requirement for you to report this canceled debt to the IRS.

15 U.S Code 1681 s-2 ( 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. 

You have reported to the credit reporting agencies that this is a written-off debt. A 1099-C, being non-debt in nature, should not be reflected on my consumer report. By law, the IRS demands you to include the 1099-C in your gross income for tax purposes. Additionally, I have not yet received my required copy of Form 1099-C for the canceled debt, and am now requesting it. The IRS states, " After a debt is canceled, a creditor will send you a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt showing the amount canceled and date of cancellation ''. 
This omission has led to inaccurate reporting of this income on my consumer report. I believe it is important to rectify this matter to ensure proper documentation and reporting. Furthermore, you have substantially damaged my way of life, as Ive been denied credit. As of now, you are now notified about the harmful inaccurate information. It is imperative that you Delete and Block this illicit charge from my consumer report. I must emphasize that you are now aware of the importance I place on the proper handling of my consumer report in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I trust that you will fulfill your obligations under the law ( 15 U.S.C 1681s-2 ) and ensure the accuracy and integrity of my private credit information Also, this account is incomplete, from XXXX to XXXX there are multiple missing data for the periods. This is an inaccurate account and must be removed immediately. I thank you consumer reporting agencies for fulfilling your jobs and following the FCRA regulations. 
I have provided proof of payment history inaccuracies below in case evidence is needed in court or otherwise. I've counted 39 periods that report the status of " no data ''. THIS ACCOUNT IS INCOMPLETE AND VIOLATES THE FCRA due to a lack of accuracy. Therefore I am requesting this account be removed and blocked from my consumer report due to FCRA and IRS guidelines and goodwill. 


Thank you for your attention to this matter. 
Sincerely
