The 1099-C Clearly state You received this form because a federal government agency or an applicable financial entity ( a creditor ) has discharged ( canceled or forgiven ) a debt you owed, or because an identifiable event has occurred that either is or is deemed to be a discharge of a debt of {$600.00} or more.

XXXX XXXX HAS CLEARLY DISCHARGED all three accounts BRING THE BALANCE TO {$0.00} DOLLARS OWED.

YOUR COMPANY EVEN REFERENCES THIS ON YOUR STATEMENT XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX is no longer pursuing collection activity on your accounts. If XXXX XXXX discharges ( cancels or forgives, in whole or in part ) a debt you owe, you may receive a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt. Amounts discharged may need to be included in your income, and subject to certain exceptions reported to the IRS.

XXXX XXXX STATEMENT dated XX/XX/XXXX stated As required by the statute of limitations, XXXX XXXX is no longer pursuing collection activity on your accounts. The statute of limitations does not change our obligation to accurately report account history.

XXXX XXXX last reported your XXXX Store Card account on XX/XX/XXXX, your XXXX Credit Card Account on XX/XX/XXXX, and your XXXX XXXX XXXX Personal Credit account on XX/XX/XXXX. As the accounts have been accurately reported, your request to alter the account reporting is respectfully declined.

A debt is deemed canceled on the date an identifiable event occurs or, if earlier, the date of the actual discharge, which the actual date of the discharge for the accounts mentioned above was in XX/XX/XXXX NOT IN XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX.

The code reflected on the FROM 1099-C clearly states Code G Decision or policy to discontinue collection. Code G is used to identify the cancellation of debt as a result of a decision or a defined policy of the creditor to discontinue collection activity and cancel the debt. For purposes of this identifiable event, a defined policy includes both a written policy and the creditor 's established business practice.

I have disputed this account on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, and for the fourth time you will be getting a LAWSUIT from me, for reporting and damaging my credit report 180 points and for inaccurate reporting on your part!! I have to give you plenty of time to remove the negative information and the inaccurate information from my credit report. Since I did not file a Reduction of Tax Attributes Due to Discharge of Indebtedness under Section 1082 Basis Adjustment Form 982, This DEBT IS CONSIDERED PAID IN FULL Under this statute!!

I will be suing you ( XXXX XXXX ) and the Credit Bureaus for damaging my credit report, your statement dated XX/XX/XXXX states : 1. Based on your inquiry, we have reviewed your account record and verified we have accurately reported your account history information to the major credit bureaus. Since we have reported accurate information pertaining to your account, we are unable to delete or modify the status as reported. Therefore, your request for XXXX XXXX to delete these trade lines from your personal credit history has been respectfully declined, and 2. XXXX XXXX is no longer pursuing collection activity on your accounts. If XXXX XXXX discharges ( cancels or forgives, in whole or in part ) a debt you owe, you may receive a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt. Amounts discharged may need to be included in your income, and subject to certain exceptions reported to the IRS. Please contact your tax adviser concerning the particular U.S. Federal Income tax consequences to you. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX issued a Form 1099-C on each of the above-referenced accounts.

Yet my credit report shows inaccurate reporting on your behalf has recently charged off!!

In conclusion, all these accounts were charged off in XX/XX/XXXX and not recently on XX/XX/XXXX as you have reported on my credit report. I want these accounts to be removed from all four major credit bureaus, XXXX, XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX XXXX credit reports IMMEDIATELY.

I have reached out to you several times On XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, via email as well and have left several messages via phone. I can be reached at XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
