On XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX XXXX put my XXXX XXXX account into collections. They put it into collections because XXXX XXXX was in a company corporate name that wasn't personally guaranteed. This account never belonged on my credit in the first place. They took my consumer information and placed it on my credit report and that's not what should have happened.

Since the debt is now with a third-party collection agency, it has already been charged off. As outlined in Tax Topic 431, this represents a certificate of indebtedness, which is categorized as income. It's important to note that income is not reportable on my credit report.

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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the handling of my credit report and the multiple, unsuccessful attempts to correct inaccurate information related to removal of the charge-offs accounts. It has come to my attention that despite repeated efforts, these issues persist on my credit report, adversely affecting my creditworthiness and financial standing. However, these removal have not been reflected, and the incorrect information remains, impacting my credit score negatively. I have noticed inaccuracies regarding charge-offs on my credit report. Despite providing documentation to support the resolution of these accounts, the charge-off status persists, and I have observed no improvement in the reporting. Furthermore, attempts to rectify inaccuracies regarding these accounts have been unsuccessful. The persistence of this misinformation is not only frustrating but also detrimental to my financial standing. I kindly request a thorough and immediate investigation into these matters. Additionally, I expect timely updates on the progress of the investigation, including any actions taken to correct the inaccuracies on my credit report. To aid in your investigation, I have attached supporting documentation. I am asking for your assistance to remove the charge off accounts in my credit file : XXXX XXXX Balance : {$250.00} - I requested an investigation and the removal of the charge-off status. No changes were made. No investigation was conducted at all. You had optimal time to review this matter and make the appropriate corrections, you elected not to. Please remove this item immediately. 

XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due it as stated. That is utterly unfathomable! Had a proper investigation been conducted you would have seen the error and corrected it immediately. You failed to do your job ; you must now REMOVE THIS ITEM ALTOGETHER.
