1 ) Duty- A moral or legal obligation : a responsibility 2 ) Prohibition-A law or regulation forbidding something 3 ) Accurate- correct in all details ; exact.

As defined in the Internal Revenue publication under canceled debts, A charge off or canceled debt is gross or ordinary income. A canceled debt of {$600.00} or more requires the lender to file a 1099c with filed taxes. The canceled debt is deemed by the internal revenue as gross and ordinary income and taxable. This information is found on page 3 IRS publication 4681 titled Canceled Debts. Gross or ordinary Income of any sort is not reported on a consumer report, doing such is illegal. The account can not be both income and debt at the same time. The IRS clearly defines a charge off as gross or ordinary income. The reporting of this account as a debt after it has been charged off, written off or canceled, by admission is what makes the reporting of this account inaccurate. Police and fire federal credit union is prohibited by law from reporting inaccurate information on a consumer report. I demand you to cease and desist from reporting this inaccurate information on my consumer report.

15 U.S code 1681s-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.
