I recently obtained a copy of my credit report and noticed accounts that I have no knowledge of being reported to my profile. In XXXX my wallet was stolen during a work trip, the credit bureaus were notified and a fraud alert was placed on my account. I contacted the credit reporting agencies in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, notifying them of the fraudulent accounts being reporting on my profile. Per 15 USC 1681B accounts that I have not given any written consent nor permission should be reported to my profile.

Reporting fraudulent accounts further violates 15 USC 1681c-2. 
I also requested that the credit reporting agencies remove all fraudulent addresses and credit inquiries that I have not authorized or given permission to be reported. 

These accounts being placed on my profile without my knowledge are hurting my ability obtain any credit in my name

XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are obligated by the FCRA to report accurate accounting. A charge off account from Bank of America is reporting on my credit report. According to IRS publication 4681 : If your debt is forgiven or discharged for less than the full amount owed, the debt is considered canceled for the forgiven or discharged amount that you no longer need to pay. Cancellation of a debt may occur if the creditor can't collect, or gives up on collecting, the amount you're obligated to pay. If you own property securing a debt, cancellation of the debt may occur due to foreclosure, repossession, voluntary transfer of the property to the lender, abandonment of the property, or a mortgage modification. In general, if your debt is canceled, forgiven, or discharged for less than the amount owed, the amount of the canceled debt is taxable. A charge off is considered income by the IRS and income does not suppose to be reported on my credit report. I never received my copy of the 1099-C. Also, according to 15 USC 1681 I have the right to an accurate report across all reporting bureaus. This particular charge off account show inaccuracy with all three bureaus. The information directly impairs the efficiency and credibility of the information being reported by the credit bureau.
