Complaint narrative:
( XXXX ) you are furnishing inaccurate and incorrect information to the consumer reporting agencies. ( Collections Acc Company Name ) - ( account number ) The reporting of such inaccurate information has caused severe damage to my character, my reputation, my general mode of living and my ability to obtain credit for personal and house purposes. You and your inaccurate reporting have damaged my livelihood. As defined by the IRS, you must report canceled debt as gross income on your tax return even if you didnt receive a form 1099-C. 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 cancelled or charge off debt is considered income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate. Section 166 ( a ) ( 1 ) of the Internal Revenue Code allows a deduction for a debt that becomes worthless during the taxable year to the party reporting the debt. In addition, 166 ( a ) ( 2 ) permits a deduction for partially worthless debts if the taxpayer charges off an appropriate amount on the taxpayer 's books and records and the Internal Revenue Service is satisfied that the debt is recoverable only in part. ( Collections Acc Company Name ) - ( account number ) is being reported as a charge off, therefore according to the IRS it is considered income, so why is it still on my credit report? 15 U.S Code 1681s-2 Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( a ) DUTY OF FURNISHERS OF INFORMATION TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION ( 1 ) PROHIBITION ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors 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.
