Complaint narrative:
I have disputed these items multiple times on my credit report for inaccurate information that the credit reporting agency is reporting on my credit report. They have refused to remove these items and correct my credit report. They have violated my rights and have not been compliant with the FCRA or the FDCPA. I have the following accounts reporting on my account as charged off which means this is canceled debt. The IRS defines charge off as ordinary income and filed a 1099-C. This should be removed immediately due to it's considered ordinary income so how can it be reported on my credit report as debt which makes it inaccurate? The creditors are supposed to send me a 1099-c to file as income on my taxes but nothing has been received if this is my debt. This is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ). Please see the following accounts that are inaccurate and have violated my rights. These accounts also have other inaccuracies and are listed below and will need to be removed immediately. The time for updating is over and I demand that they are deleted immediately.
