'' My privacy is being violated by the misuse of my consumer report. 15 U.S. Code 1681b section 604 states In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

This charged off/canceled is taxable income and not to be included on a consumer report. 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 states A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

My intent is to sue if said issues are not resolved.
