Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute an inaccurate account listed on my credit report by WebBank/Fingerhut . This account has been appearing on my credit report since 2014, yet it is neither an open nor a closed account. Its continued presence on my report is misleading and does not accurately reflect my credit history. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to an accurate and fair credit report. Since this account does not represent an active or closed line of credit, it should not be reported. I request that this matter be investigated promptly and that WebBank/Fingerhut be required to remove this erroneous listing from my credit report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
Reached out with a letter to dispute, [ Your Name ] [ Your Address ] [ City, State, ZIP Code ] [ Your Phone Number ] [ Your Email Address ] [ Date ] [ Credit Bureau/ Creditor Name ] [ Address ] [ City, State , ZIP Code ] Subject : Dispute of Charged-Off Account and Request for Removal from Credit Report To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of a " charged-off '' or " closed/canceled '' account on my credit report. Under relevant tax laws and consumer protection statutes, a charged-off debt is considered a **Certificate of Indebtedness** and is classified as income to the creditor per the Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ).

Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) 26 U.S.C. 61 ( a ) ( 12 ) ** - Cancellation of debt is recognized as income to the creditor. Therefore, if the debt has been charged off or canceled, it has been resolved for tax purposes and should not be reported as an outstanding obligation against me. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S.C. 1692e** - It is unlawful to report misleading or inaccurate information about a debt. If a debt has been charged off, there is no legitimate basis to continue reporting it as an owed obligation. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2** - Credit furnishers have a legal obligation to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Reporting a charged-off account as still collectible is misleading and constitutes an unfair practice.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) 15 U.S.C. 1601** - Lenders and creditors must act in good faith and with full disclosure. If a debt has been charged off, no further collection activity should occur, including continued negative reporting.

Thank you
