Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Charge-Off Violation of Right to Accuracy Dear Comenity Bank / Victoria secret I am writing to dispute the charge-off reported on my credit report associated with Account Number XXXX I believe this charge-off is inaccurate and violates my right to accuracy as established under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

According to my credit report, this account shows a charge-off status, which I dispute for the following reasons : 1. **Inaccuracy** When a creditor writes off a debt and reports it to the IRS, it can not continue to report the forgiven amount as an active debt on the debtor 's credit report. Once a debt is written off, it should be marked as " charged off '' or " settled, '' but not as an open or outstanding balance. Reporting the debt as still due after writing it off would be inaccurate and could violate credit reporting laws under the **Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) **.

I kindly request that you investigate this matter and provide me with the evidence that validates this charge-off. I would also like a correction of my credit report to reflect accurate information regarding this account. 

Under the FCRA, I am entitled to receive a response to my dispute, including an explanation of your findings. I have attached copies of relevant documentation to support my claim. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
