Complaint narrative:
Notice to agent ( s ) is notice to principal ( s ). Notice to principal ( s ) is notice to agent ( s ). 

I am writing to dispute inaccurate information on my consumer report related to the following accounts : XXXX. XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX XXXX : Account charged off ; {$2100.00} written off. 
Dispute Reason : This account was charged off and written off as income, per IRS regulations, and can not legally be reported on a credit report. I demand its immediate removal under 15 USC 1681e ( b ). 

XXXX. XXXX XXXXXXXX # XXXX Account Number : XXXX XXXX : Account charged off ; {$450.00} written off. 
Dispute Reason : Charged-off accounts considered as income should not appear on a credit report. Remove this account per 15 USC 1681e ( b ). 

XXXX. XXXX  XXXX # XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX XXXX : Account charged off ; {$1300.00} written off. 
Dispute Reason : As with the above, this charged-off debt has been written off and reported as income, which must not appear on a credit report. Please delete this entry in accordance with 15 USC 1681e ( b ). 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX. 

Account XXXX : XXXX Status : Account charged off ; {$240.00} written off. 
Dispute Reason : This account is incorrectly reported as charged off. As income, this can not be legally included in a credit report. I request its deletion under 15 USC 1681e ( b ).

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681e ( b ) ) requires that your company ensures the maximum accuracy of any information included in a consumer report. Reporting charged-off accounts that have been written off as income violates these legal requirements. Additionally, 15 USC 1681a clearly outlines the exclusions for reporting information like charge-offs, which are treated as income.

Resolution Requested I demand the immediate deletion of all aforementioned accounts from my consumer report. Additionally, please send me a free copy of my updated consumer report reflecting these corrections.

Failure to comply with my demands will result in legal action against your company, and I will seek damages of {$1000.00} per violation for defamation of character, negligent enablement of identity fraud, and willful noncompliance with the FCRA. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
