Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX and its representative are continuously showing no regard to the law and my right to privacy. They are telling me that their policy overrules the law. They are committing language fraud with misleading facts and giving their false interpretation of the law. They have caused and are still causing me defamation of character by illegally reporting information that should not be on my consumer report and misleading me and refusing to remove it. They are telling me that I have no right to privacy, and they are knowingly reporting income on my consumer report. 

Their said in your response As of XX/XX/XXXX, were reporting the account as an unpaid charged off account. According to the IRS ( Internal Revenue Service ) publication irs.gov, a charged-off is a certificate of indebtedness which goes along with a 1099c The Cancelation of Debt. It is considered to be income, and you know very well that income can not be reported on a consumer report. Proper procedures must be followed to ensure accurate reporting 15 U.S. Code 1681e.

It is also your responsibility to make sure that it is presented in a clear and conspicuous manner. They are in violation of this Act as they just admitted this, in your response that is attached. Furthermore in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 I have the right to privacy that they are trying to deny me.
