Complaint narrative:
I requested the bureaus to do an investigation on the accounts below for accuracy accounts came back verified I do not believe an investigation was done because its no way the accounts would come back verified as accurate due to the large discrepancies and information mismatch highlighted in the attached documents. This is the final request for account deletion my privacy has been violated this is direct violation of my consumer rights as outline by the FCRA I will be requesting {$1000.00} in damages due to failure of investigation please re-investigate and remove this account. 
ACCOUNTS : Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number # XXXX In Accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act XXXX Account Number # XXXX has violated my rights.15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy. 
This account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) is furnishing multiple late payments as a charge-off which is inaccurate a charge off account can not furnish late payment history furthermore I have not receive a 1099-C for the amount written off the above creditor received a tax write off for this account per the IRS and did not send me my 1099-C. As defined by the IRS ; Even if you didnt receive XXXX Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as a gross income on your tax return. 
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 Canceled debt or Charge off is Income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate.

15 U.S. Code 1681s2 Says you are a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency. 
You ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW to furnish inaccurate information. I demand you to CEASE and DESIST the reporting of incorrect/in accurate information immediately.

The account above has several violations such as repeatedly reporting c/o monthly which is re-aging the account to become a freshly charged off account this is defamation of my character!! Its no way this account was verified as accurate because even after the dispute was completed the account is still INACCURATE I highlighted the many inaccuracies and attached it below! I have late payments being reported on Equifax for the account ( XXXX XXXX ) but yet XXXX and XXXX shows no late late payments! there is a different open date across all XXXX bureaus as show in attachment below! ALSO THIS ACCOUNT WAS DELETED FROM MY CONSUMER REPORT THEN REINSERTED AND I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY THE CREDITOR! THIS IS A VIOLATION OF MY RIGHTS OUTLINED BY THE FCRA!
