XXXX can not collect on a discharged debt. This is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS and income can not be reported.

The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate. I never received a 1099-C from XXXX for the cancelled debt of {$1800.00} in order to file as ordinary income. Where is my 1099-C? XXXX is clearly 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 has been HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE that they are furnishing incorrect inaccurate information. In XXXX terms and conditions they agreed not to share my information with non affiliates. XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion are not an affiliate of XXXX nor are they " bureaus ''. The only true credit bureau is the CFPB and they DO NOT furnish consumer reports as stated in federal law.
