Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PA)

I have sent several letters requesting for debt verification, debt validation and expressing my concerns about the inaccurate information that has been reported on my credit file to all three credit bureaus ( XXXX, Transunion and XXXX ) for years now. I've been sent letters stating that the account has been verified, but unfortunately XXXX XXXX fail to provide any proof of accuracy. The date the account opened is wrong I opened my account with XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX, the payment history is inaccurate it isnt reported correctly in chronological order which makes it inconsistent for each bureau, the date it was last active is inaccurate, the date of the last payment is inaccurate and a account can be reported as a charge-off or collection it can not be both. These inaccuracies shows that the account couldnt have properly been verified and validated. The account is also being reported as a collection and a charge-off. If it was a charge-off I should have received a XXXX form which I never got even when I requested it. I know that the lender must file form XXXX and send you a copy if the amount of cancelled debt is {$600.00} or more and the lender is a financial institution, credit union XXXX federal government XXXX XXXX XXXX other applicable entities as discussed earlier in chapter XXXX. This paragraph above is taken directly from the IRS XXXX publication.According to the XXXX Law, even if you did not receive a Form XXXX, you must report cancelled debt as gross income on your tax return. The XXXX  defines a Charge-off as gross or ordinary income, by that being said it is fact that income does not get reported on the consumer report. This account being reported on my credit report violates so many of my rights as a consumer according to the FCRA. XXXX XXXX XXXX proves that your credit union is a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency. You are prohibited by law to furnish inaccurate information. I demand you to cease and desist the reporting of incorrect/inaccurate information immediately.
