This company is in violation of multiple laws set forth by Congress. 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) states that the consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences ( payment history, charge off status ), between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( creditor ) making the report. This company is purposely inaccurately reporting my information and not properly responding with full evidence of the investigation as requested breaking multiple FCRA laws in which I want to be compensated for if all inaccurate information isnt removed and they must show full step by step verification of the investigation that takes My full legal name is [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ].

The IRS Clearly defines a charge off / canceled debt as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes 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 clearly inaccurate. This is unsatisfactory work being done by these agencies and its almost as if fraudulent activity is being done here. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ), I request that you mail me a copy of the complete consumer file that you maintain concerning me after you act on this dispute. Note, the term file means all of the information on [ me ] and retained by [ you ] regardless of how the information is stored. 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( g ).
