Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

To whom it may concern, XXXX is violating my rights and the Fair Credit Reporting Act in particular 15 USC 1681 s-2 which governs furnishers if information. The law prevents furnishers of information from reporting income which is what XXXX is doing in the form of reporting a charge off which they reported bad debt and therefore deducted as income. 

15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( 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.

Duty : a moral or legal obligation ; a responsibility Accurate : correct in all details ; exact. PROHIBITION : a law or regulation forbidding something As Defined by The IRS Even if you didn't receive a Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as gross income on your tax return. 

The IRS Clearly defines a charge off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes their reporting of this account inaccurate! By Definition The IRS Clearly says a Cancelled debt or Charge off is Income.

The reporting of this account as a debt is in accurate. 15 USC 1681 s-2 Says XXXX is a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency. 

XXXX is PROHIBITED BY LAW to furnish inaccurate information. 

15 USC 1681 s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) 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 And in addition they are continuing to report my account as late payments as well which is another violation. 

After seeing the inaccuracies On or around XXXX XXXX I sent a dispute letter to XXXX expecting for my concerns to be taken seriously and corrected as the law specifies. On XXXX I received a form letter back with a blanket denial which one of them stating that I had sent a dispute before, which I had for an unrelated issue. Instead of giving my correspondence the respect that it deserved they systematically denied it. 

XXXX has been in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting laws numerous times in the past and in fact recently just lost a large judgement for similar behavior which shows a pattern of intent to damage and defraud the public and is not learning from past judgments.

I am writing to express my utmost urgency and frustration regarding a matter that demands immediate attention. Despite my persistent efforts to resolve the issue, fraudulent accounts persist on my credit report, which is an egregious violation of my consumer rights and can not be tolerated any longer. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Your repeated failure to address this situation is not only unacceptable but also deeply troubling. These fraudulent accounts are tarnishing my financial reputation and causing considerable distress. As a victim of identity theft, your bureau 's negligence only exacerbates the severity of the situation. 

I demand urgent action from your bureau to cease reporting these fraudulent accounts on my credit file. Your inability or unwillingness to do so reflects a blatant disregard for your duty and the law. It is evident that the current practices of your bureau are inadequate and must be rectified immediately. 

Moreover, I expect a written response from your bureau within the next five business days, confirming the removal of these fraudulent accounts from my credit report. Additionally, I require comprehensive documentation outlining the steps taken to investigate and resolve this matter. 

Let me be unequivocal : if these demands are not promptly met, I will not hesitate to pursue legal action against your bureau. The repercussions of your inaction will be severe, and you will be held accountable for the significant harm caused to my financial well-being.
