This is the final request for account deletion my privacy has been violated this is direct violation of my consumer rights as outline by the FCRA I will be requesting {$1000.00} in damages due to failure of investigation please re-investigate and remove these accounts!!

As defined by the IRS ; Even if you didnt receive a Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as a gross income on your tax return.

The IRS clearly defines a charge-off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes your reporting of this account inaccurate! 
By Definition The IRS clearly says a Canceled debt or Charge off is Income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate.

15 U.S. Code 1681s2 Says you are a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency.

You ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW to furnish inaccurate information. I demand you to CEASE and DESIST the reporting of incorrect/in accurate information immediately.
