Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, {$4500.00} I am writing to formally request the removal of inaccurate information reported by your company to the consumer reporting agencies. On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested verification of a debt and its accuracy. By the date of XX/XX/XXXX, your company verified it. I believe this information is incorrect and has negatively impacted my credit report, affecting my character, reputation, and livelihood.

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, as a furnisher of information, you are legally obligated to ensure the accuracy of information pro
vided to consumer reporting agencies. The reported charge-off, according to IRS guidelines , is considered income, not a debt, and should not appear on a consumer report. 

The IRS defines a charge-off as income, which is not to be reported on credit reports. Therefore, the current reporting is inaccurate. Furthermore, the IRS requires a 1099-C form for cancelled debts over {$600.00}, which I have not received.

By law, you can not furnish information you know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. I demand that you cease reporting this inaccurate information immediately and remove it from my credit report.

Please consider this letter as formal notice of the inaccuracies, and I request that you address and rectify this matter promptly. You have 10 calendar days to remove this entry from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''
