Complaint ID: 8132292

Date Received: 2024-01-09

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is furnishing inaccurate information to the consumer reporting agencies. The reporting of such inaccurate information has caused severe damage to my character, my reputation, my general mode of living, and my ability to obtain credit for personal and house purposes. XXXX XXXX charged off the account for which they recieved a tax break and did not SEND ME MY FORM 1099-C they should have sent it when they Filled the account as a canceled debt. The IRS Clearly defines a charge-off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which makes the reporting of the account inaccurate! By Definition, The IRS Clearly says a Cancelled debt or Charge-off is Income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate. Not only did they do such an act, but they also sold the charged-off account to a third-party collection agency which is now harassing me to pay a debt that I do not owe them. All of this constitutes tax fraud and I will file a 3949A form with the IRS IMMEDIATELY. I requested original documents and procedures from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX because they keep updating the information when disputed as verified and they did NOT provide me a copy of ANY original documentation required under 15 USC 1681g ( a ) ( 1 ) & 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under 15 USC1681i ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA they are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. As a consumer, my rights have been violated entirely, these organizations will fully and fraudulently withheld pertinent information to suit their agenda.

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: When I investigated my credit report, I realized that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus are required to authenticate the account under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ).
