Complaint narrative:
REF : Equifax XXXX and XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute multiple inaccuracies on my credit report. I believe these entries have not been properly investigated as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes information.

As Defined by the IRS : The IRS considers a charge-off to be income, either as gross or ordinary income. Income like this doesn't belong on a credit report, so this information on my report isn't accurate!

By IRS rules, any canceled debt or charge-off is classified as income. Reporting this as debt is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681 s-2, Account Name, as a provider of information to a credit reporting agency, is prohibited by law from sharing inaccurate info. I'm requesting that you delete this inaccurate information from my report right away.

**15 USC 1681 s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : ** " A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person has been notified by the consumer at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate and the information is, in fact, inaccurate. '' In summary, I've shown you that this information is wrong, and you've been notified. Keeping this inaccurate info on my report is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and your role as a credit reporting agency.
