Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for their unauthorized reporting of a charge off on my credit profiles. This erroneous reporting has had severe repercussions on my financial standing and has caused considerable distress. 

Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is imperative that companies report accurate information to credit bureaus. Despite my repeated attempts to rectify this issue with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, they have failed to amend the misinformation on my credit profiles. 

I have provided XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with substantial evidence refuting the existence of any outstanding balance. I have not received any Form 1099-C reflecting the alleged charge off, nor have I received any concrete evidence from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX or the original creditor demonstrating the validity of the purported debt. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX never provided any documentation bearing my signature acknowledging the debt as mine or confirming my agreement to pay such a balance. 

Moreover, I wish to emphasize that this unauthorized reporting of a charge off violates IRS law. According to IRS regulations, debt sold to third parties is now considered certificates of indebtedness, constituting income that can not be reported. Therefore, the reporting of this charge off, which does not meet the criteria stipulated by the IRS, not only misrepresents my financial status but also contravenes federal law. 

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau promptly investigate this matter and take appropriate enforcement action against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Additionally, I urge you to ensure that my credit profiles with TransUnion XXXX XXXX and any and all other reporting agencies are corrected expeditiously to reflect the complete removal of this item in compliance with the FCRA and IRS regulations. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX failure to comply with these legal obligations may result in further action to protect my rights under federal law.
