Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
RE : Dispute of Inaccurate Information Account # XXXX I am writing to dispute the reporting of a charge-off on my credit report, which I believe to be inaccurate and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The account in question is KIA.

According to the IRS, a charge-off is considered gross or ordinary income because it represents canceled debt. Under U.S. tax laws, canceled debt is classified as income, and as such, income can not be legally reported on a consumer credit report. Reporting such an account as a charge-off on my credit report is a misrepresentation of the nature of the debt and its treatment under federal law.

A charge-off, as income, should not be considered a credit obligation under the FCRA and thus should not be reflected on my consumer credit report. Reporting it in this manner is misleading and could result in inaccurate information being used to assess my creditworthiness. 
In accordance with Section 611 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I request that this matter be investigated and that the inaccurate information be removed or corrected immediately. Please provide written confirmation that the charge-off has been removed from my credit report or that a correction has been made.

I have enclosed a copy of my credit report with the incorrect charge-off highlighted for your reference. I look forward to receiving your prompt response to this matter within the 30-day time frame as required by the FCRA.
