XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IS COPYRIGHTED and as such I XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the living soul man and beneficiary to the XXXX Trust account for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and any variation of it, never gave either party permission to use the copyrighted property. When XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sold the personal, copyrighted property, account that is part of the XXXX Trust for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to Credit Solutions Corp they violated the copyrighted notice ( See attached ) and there is a {>= $1,000,000} XXXX XXXX registered with the XXXX. 

It has also come to my attention that the original application with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has been bonded as a security with the SEC without my knowledge and that all interest coupons attached to the bond sent every month were cashed in by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with US Treasury without my knowledge. 

No company can charge off an account that was already paid and if they do charge it off they are required by the IRS to report it as a expensive and send out a 1099-C, there is no except as these companies claim. Its also a violation of the XXXX rules ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ). The XXXX should audit this credit Union for not following IRS and XXXX requirements. 

These 3rd party collection companies are violating Federal and States Laws when buying these accounts for pennies on the dollar and trying to collect the full amount that was discharged by the Original Company. 

Also XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX is in violation of the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act ( TDPSA ), since they sold personal information to Credit Solutions Corp by not getting my permission.
