Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to have verified these. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. As in Cushman v XXXX, Stevenson v. TRW ( XXXX  ), and Richardson v. Fleet, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address the lack of response to my previous notice, dated XX/XX/year>, regarding the request for a copy of the 1099-C filed for the charged-off debt. XXXX  XXXX XXXX failure to provide a response leaves me no choice but to assume that you have neglected to comply with FEDERAL law by not filing a 1099-C as mandated. Consequently, I am compelled to inform you that I will reporXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX to the IRS for potential tax fraud using Form 3949-A if prompt action is not taken. 

Furthermore, it is imperative that you notify XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax to delete this information from my credit report immediately. The account in question is detailed as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX As per IRS regulations, a canceled debt of {$600.00} or more necessitates the filing of a 1099-C form by federal or government agencies, or applicable financial entities. Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes tax fraud, a serious offense that I will not hesitate to report to the IRS.

It is essential to understand that a canceled debt is considered ordinary income by the IRS. Consequently, any failure to file a 1099-C form, or any attempt to conceal such actions, constitutes inaccurate reporting. Income is not to be included on a credit report, and any such inclusion violates consumer laws and regulations. 

Your company 's actions are in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681s-2, which outlines the responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. Under this statute, it is prohibited to furnish inaccurate information knowingly or with reasonable cause to believe it is inaccurate.

It is evident from my previous communication and this notice that there is reasonable cause to believe the information provided is inaccurate. Therefore, it is imperative that you take immediate steps to rectify this situation by deleting the inaccurate information from all consumer reporting agencies.

Failure to comply will result in legal action being pursued, including holding the Creditor XXXX  XXXX XXXX, accountable for willful noncompliance under 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). This statute stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with FCRA requirements may be liable for damages sustained by the consumer.
