XXXX XXXX and Transunion LLC have engaged in knowingly reporting erroneous and inaccurate information. I have contacted both agencies multiple times via email and phone calls in regards to this information. I also sent emails to XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX  as they are the companies who furnished the inaccurate information. 
These companies have violated my rights pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

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

I have sent electronic correspondences to these companies multiple times Transunion responded with not being able to verify my identity and XXXX gave no response yet continued to report this inaccurate information. XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX  have yet to respond. Dates of correspondences were XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023. Which violates the above law. 

The IRS considers canceled or forgiven debt as income. You XXXX need to pay taxes on the canceled debt amount reported on the 1099-C form. The amount you'll have to pay depends on your federal tax bracket and whether you qualify for an exception or exclusion. Even if you didn't receive a Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as gross income on your tax return less one of the exceptions or exclusions described later applies. The amount in box 2 of Form 1099-C may represent some or all of the debt that has been canceled. The amount in box XXXX will include principal and may include interest and other non principal amounts ( such as fees or penalties ). Unless you meet one of the exceptions or exclusions discussed later, the amount of the debt that has been canceled is ordinary income and must be reported on the appropriate form, as discussed earlier XXXX XXXX and XXXX Bank were negligent in sending me a XXXX.

Any organization whose significant trade or business is the lending of money, such as a finance company or credit card company ( whether or not affiliated with a financial institution ). The lending of money is a significant trade or business if money is lent on a regular and continuing basis.

According to an article on XXXX XXXX 's website regarding income ; Income is not part of your credit report. And while lenders often factor your income into their lending decisions, they'll typically get that information directly from you during the credit application process. Because it is not part of your credit report, income is not considered by credit scoring systems that use only your credit history.
