Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the immediate deletion of the account referenced below from my credit report due to violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : - **Account Name : [ XXXX  XXXX ] ** Account Number : [ XXXX ] The basis for this request is that the information you have furnished to the credit reporting agencies is inaccurate and/or unverifiable, and as such, it should not be included in my credit report in accordance with the FCRA. Specifically, the following violations have occurred : XXXX. **Failure to Provide Accurate Information ( 15 U.S.C . 1681s-2 ( a ) ) ** : The information you reported is inaccurate and has not been corrected despite my previous disputes. 
XXXX. **Failure to Reinvestigate Disputed Information ( 15 U.S.C . 1681s-2 ( b ) ) ** : You did not properly reinvestigate the disputed information as required by the FCRA. 
Given these violations, I am requesting that [ XXXX  XXXX ] immediately cease reporting the inaccurate information and delete the account from my credit report. Please send me a written confirmation of the deletion within XXXX  days of receiving this letter. 
I am writing to formally notify you of several serious issues regarding my account, specifically your failure to provide the required Form 1099-C, as well as violations of both tax regulations and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
This is my XXXX  attempt which you have ignored my first request sent on XX/XX/24. I sent a request stating that there are inaccuracies and I wanted those addressed. 
**Failure to Provide Form 1099-C** Under 26 U.S. Code 6050P, you are required to file a Form 1099-C with the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) and provide a copy to me when you cancel a debt of {$600.00} or more. Despite the cancellation of my debt, I have not received this form from your company. This failure to comply with IRS regulations constitutes a serious violation and can be considered tax fraud. 
**Violation of Tax Regulations** Your failure to issue a Form 1099-C as mandated by 26 U.S. Code 6050P is a violation of federal tax law. This omission prevents me from properly reporting my income to the IRS, which may expose me to potential penalties and interest for underreporting income. Additionally, it constitutes tax fraud under 26 U.S. Code 7206, which addresses fraud and false statements. 
**Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ** Furthermore, your actions are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, codified at 15 U.S. Code 1681s- 2. This section requires furnishers of information to provide accurate information to credit reporting agencies and to correct any inaccuracies. Your failure to provide accurate information, including the status of my debt, has caused inaccuracies on my credit report, which negatively affects my creditworthiness.
