I pulled my Consumer reports from ( XXXX, TransUnion & XXXX ) and I notice Transunion have furnished XXXX accounts there as a charge off { / collections. } An account can not be a charge off and a collection at the same time! A charge off is a cancelled debt where a form 1099C must be issued to the consumer! How can you collect on a canceled debt?
