Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding the inaccurate reporting of charged-off accounts on my credit report and the failure to issue a 1099-C form, as required by law. 

Account Information : XXXX Account Closed : XX/XX/year> Last Reported : XX/XX/year> Charged-off Amount : {$1000.00} Credit Limit : {$800.00} ( Account utilization 125 % ) Worst Payment Status : XXXX days late Remarks : " Profit and loss write-off, '' " Dispute resolved reported by grantor '' XXXX  Account Closed : XX/XX/year> Last Reported : XX/XX/year> Charged-off Amount : {$750.00} Credit Limit : {$500.00} ( Account utilization 150 % ) Worst Payment Status : XXXX days late Remarks : " Profit and loss write-off, '' " Dispute resolved reported by grantor '' XXXX XXXX Account Closed : XX/XX/year> Last Reported : XX/XX/year> Charged-off Amount : {$3700.00} Credit Limit : {$3000.00} ( Account utilization 123 % ) Worst Payment Status : 120+ days late Remarks : " Profit and loss write-off, '' " Dispute resolved reported by grantor '' Violation of FCRA ( Section 1681 ( e ) ( b ) ) : Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies and furnishers of information are required to ensure that the information reported is accurate and up-to-date. All three accounts listed above have been charged off and are reported inaccurately, negatively affecting my credit score and financial standing. Additionally, despite the charge-offs, I was never provided with 1099-C forms, which are required when a creditor cancels a debt of {$600.00} or more.

Details of Violations : 1. Failure to Remove Charged-Off Accounts : The accounts were closed earlier in 2024, yet they continue to be reported inaccurately, affecting my credit utilization and overall credit health.

2. Failure to Provide 1099-C Forms : Neither XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX nor XXXX XXXX has issued a 1099-C form for the canceled debts. This omission violates IRS guidelines and affects my tax reporting obligations. 

Given these issues, I kindly request the following actions : 1. Immediate Removal of Charged-Off Accounts : The accounts should be removed from my credit report due to the failure to meet FCRA accuracy requirements.

2. Issuance of 1099-C Forms : I request that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXXXXXX issue the necessary 1099-C forms for the charged-off amounts as soon as possible.

3. Correction of Credit Report : Please ensure that my credit report reflects accurate information regarding these accounts. 

I trust that you will investigate this matter promptly and take the appropriate corrective actions. Please notify me of the status of my complaint and the steps taken to resolve these inaccuracies. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
