Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I've written to various companies regarding their income reporting in my Credit Report. The IRS Publication 166. states ' The IRS views Charge-offs or canceled debt as income, necessitating its inclusion on tax returns, similar to job or business income. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681, which emphasizes the accuracy and fairness of credit reporting, income should not appear on my Credit Report. Therefore, these charge-offs are required by law to be promptly removed. Thank You XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Date Received: 2023-12-30

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

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

Consumer Complaint: A request was submitted multiple times to have this inaccurate reporting removed from my credit report. The furnishers of information responded claiming this account was accurate, however I am not liable for this debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$1200.00}. They did not provide me with the original contract as requested. Pursuant to 18 USC 8, I owe no debt. This company is violating my consumer right to privacy pursuant to 15 USC 1681b 2 by keeping this inaccurate account on my credit file. This company has no permission to report illegitimate details using my personal information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 4. After months of disputing, this account is still reporting inaccurate late payments well past the statute of limitations. This account has incorrect details reporting through different agencies regarding last payment dates and late payment history, which are false. For example, the collection account had been active for years in collection status, then in XXXX marked up to 180 days past due, and then continued collection status thereafter. Furthermore, in XX/XX/2023 one or more credit reporting agencies have REMOVED this account from my credit file due to these violations and inaccurate reporting. I have seen this account only closed with other reporting agencies who have not validated this debt or details reporting, nor have provided me proof.
