Because it is canceled/charged off, this is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS Publication XXXX The IRS Clearly defines a charge off/cancelled debt as Gross or Ordinary income, and INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON A CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes the reporting of this information inaccurate.

I demand that you provide me with concrete evidence of my obligation to said account. Please be aware all negative remarks found on my credit report is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA when your company can not furnish the validity of the remark.
