XX/XX/XXXX I received a XXXX from XXXX, reflecting a cancellation of debt. I paid tax to the IRS for the amount owed. As of XX/XX/XXXX XXXX is still reporting this cancelled debt amount on my credit report as a balance amount past due. XXXX insists that in order for them to report a XXXX 'balance owed ' to the credit bureaus, I will need to pay XXXX the entire cancelled amount. This balance should not be reported to the credit bureaus as an amount past due. The account was written off by XXXX XX/XX/XXXX.
