Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

RE : Inaccurate Credit Reporting ( 15 USC 168152 ) To whom it may concern, 1 I am writing this to inform you that i have notified the credit bureaus of misreporting by your company in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. According to which, as the furnisher of the information in question, you have a grave responsibility of maintaining the accuracy of that information. following account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX ) is reporting a balance of ( {$17000.00} ) when it is my understanding an reason to believe that because this debt was charged off by you that is was memorialized with a form 1099C as proof or evidence thereat. And that because of my fact, this debt is cancelled and at least should not reflect the balance that is currently shown of ( {$17000.00} ) on my consumer file. This is canceled debt, the company has filed it on their taxes but they also are reporting it on my credit report as debt, doesnt make sense at all. A charge off is considered ordinary income so how could it be furnishing on my credit report as debt. The IRS states that this company was supposed to send me a 1099c form so I can file the ordinary income. They havent sent me none of that so now they are in violation of USC 1681EB, it speaks on maximum accuracy of the consumer report. So this item has to be deleted from my credit report.
