Consumer Narrative
There are inaccurate charge-offs and late payments reporting on my credit report, which I believe is misleading and misrepresents the nature of the debt in question. The entry reported as a charge-off is, in fact, a cancellation of debt that has been processed with the IRS. I have received a Certificate of Indebtness from the creditor, confirming that the debt has been officially canceled. As per IRS guidelines, this cancellation of debt is considered taxable income, not an unpaid debt. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), only accurate and complete information should be reported on a consumer credit report. Since this charge-off and late payments represents a cancellation of debt and not an outstanding obligation, it should not be classified as a charge-off. Reporting it as such is inaccurate and has lead to mis information to potential creditors about my creditworthiness. i received from the company a 1099c canceled debt. i have also opt out with the companies as well in written, unwritten, verbal, and nonverbal authorizations they have been opted out. The Credit bureaus have been Violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) definition of accuracy under Section 1681e ( b ) requires a focus on objectively and readily verifiable information, which may require consumer reporting agencies to accurately report information derived from the readily verifiable and straightforward application of law to facts.
