Reporting these actions to the IRS as fraudulent underreporting and mismanagement of canceled debt. 
Seeking legal remedies under FCRA, XXXX XXXX, and other applicable laws, holding both the companies and individual decision-makers accountable for their roles in these violations. 
Conclusion The credit reporting agencies failure to act not only violates federal law but also constitutes a severe and ongoing harm to my financial reputation. This is your final opportunity to rectify these errors before I pursue all available legal and regulatory actions.
