The IRS clearly defines a charge off as gross or ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes your reporting of this account inaccurate! 

By definition The IRS clearly says a canceled or charge off is income. the reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate 15 USC 1681s-2 says you the debt collector are a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency.

SEND ME MY FORM 1099-C that you should have sent when you filed the account as a canceled debt. Which they did not do which is also a violation of my consumer protection rights and also tax fraud.
