Consumer Narrative
according to my credit report XXXX cancelled my debt but it is still reflecting as debt. according to the IRS anytime a debt is cancelled it has to be filled as income on a 1099 c form. so based on what the IRS says it is income not debt. so my credit report is inaccurate. so there's inaccurate information on my credit report that needs to be removed. According to the FCRA my credit report has to be accurate and if its not it must be removed and if they don't they are breaking the law which I can sue. so I am asking XXXX to remove this account off my credit report because it is inaccurate..The tax impact of debt forgiveness or cancellation depends on your individual facts and circumstances. Generally, if you borrow money from a commercial lender and the lender later cancels or forgives the debt, you may have to include the cancelled amount in income for tax purposes. The lender is usually required to report the amount of the canceled debt to you and the IRS on a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt. There are several exceptions to the taxability of cancelled debt, such as insolvency or bankruptcy. according to the FRCA Experian XXXX and XXXX must delete this information. Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to report information it has verified as accurate.
