Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, Subject : Complaint Regarding Charged-Off Accounts I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a charged-off account that are affecting my credit report and financial standing. 

The details of these accounts are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX, Acct # XXXX, United Revenue, Acct # XXXX & Acct # XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Acct # XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Acct # XXXX and XXXX XXXX, Acct # XXXX These companies are 3rd party debt collectors. Once your debt is sold to a third-party debt collector or considered charged off, it becomes a certificate of indebtedness. This means that it is now considered income and CAN NOT be reported to your credit report. It is important to have these accounts removed immediately. 

I have also previously sent a letter to this company three months ago, stating that I am exercising my right to opt out of their reporting of these accounts, as per 16 CFR 313.7 ( f ) and 15 USC 6802 According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, section 602 ( a ) of 15 USC 1681 states that consumer reporting agencies must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. 

XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies, and as the consumer, I have the right to ensure that my private information is not shared. This right is supported by 15 USC 6801, which states that financial institutions have an obligation to respect the privacy of their customers and protect the security and confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information. The furnisher of information to credit agencies is considered a financial institution under this definition. Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) of 15 USC 1681 states that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. 

Neither the financial institutions, XXXX XXXX XXXX, United Revenue, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX  nor the consumer reporting agencies, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, have my consent to furnish this information, and they certainly do not have my expressed written consent. Any previous consent given to, or the furnisher of information to credit agencies, whether it was verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is now REVOKED. 

The Furnishers of Information to credit agencies including : XXXX XXXX XXXX, United Revenue, XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX did not inform me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, which is in violation of 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ). Additionally, the Accounts that are being reported by them is an adverse item without my permission, which is against the law according to 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ). XXXX XXXX XXXX, United Revenue, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX  are not maintaining reasonable procedures as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A and 15 U.S. Code 1681e. Furthermore, as stated in 12 CFR 1016.7, I am opting out of their reporting services.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
