Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Experian report # XXXX is in violation of multiple laws set forth by Congress in regards to the following account XXXX XXXX XXXX  # XXXX. IT IS SET TO FALL OFF XX/XX/XXXX BUT NOW THIS IS DESTROYING MY CREDIT WORTHINESS. I HAVE SENT FTC REPORT AND ALL THEY DO IS IGNORE IT AND DO IS A REINVESTIGATION AND PER 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) states that the consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences payment history, charge off status ), between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) making the report. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681 s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states that A person ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer ( ME ) to any consumer reporting agency ( EXPERIAN, XXXX, XXXX ) if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. XXXX XXXX XXXX  can not collect on a discharged debt. 

This is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS and income can not be reported. 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 reporting of this account inaccurate! I provided a screenshot from the IRS website. By Definition, the IRS Clearly says a Cancelled debt or Charge off is Income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate. I never received a 1099-C from XXXX XXXX XXXX  for the cancelled debt of { { {$7200.00} } } in order to file as ordinary income. Where is my 1099-C XXXX XXXX XXXX  is clearly writing off debt with the IRS without sending out 1099-C as required by the IRS for debts greater than { { {$600.00} } }. This is unsatisfactory! XXXX XXXX XXXX  has been HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE that they are furnishing incorrect inaccurate information. In XXXX XXXX XXXX terms and conditions they agreed not to share my information with non affiliates. EXPERIAN, XXXX, and XXXX is not an affiliate of XXXX XXXX XXXX  nor are they " bureaus ''. The only true credit bureau is the CFPB and they DO NOT furnish consumer reports as stated in federal law. I have a right to privacy and Per the Privacy Act of XXXX as a federally protected consumer I am now revoking any and all authorization I the consumer may have given you written, non written, verbal, and nonverbal per 5 U.S. Code 552a. Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I am now opting out of any and all authorization I the consumer may have given you written, non written, verbal, and non verbal per 15 USC 6802. I shall also point out their responsibility pursuant 15 U.S. Code section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) ( ii ) : ( a ) DUTY OF FURNISHERS OF INFORMATION TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION 1 ) PROHIBITION ( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate. I REQUEST THAT YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY AND STOP VERIFYING WHAT IS NOW CONSIDERED INCOME that was part of my ID Theft! CFPD I AM ASKING THAT YOU HOLD EXPERIAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.
