'' XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer.

Consumer Complaint: I am submitting a complaint regarding XXXX that has repeatedly violated my consumer rights as a consumer. Despite my many attempts to rectify the situation, this agency has continued to include items on my consumer report without obtaining my consent, which has led to the defamation of my character. Furthermore, this agency has failed to provide me with any verifiable contract or evidence to support the inclusion of these items on my consumer report, as outlined in 16 USC 6802, 6803, 6804, and 6805. In addition to this, this agency has engaged in inaccurate reporting, which violates USC 1681d and USC 1681n. They have also violated 16 CFR 313 by showing charges off on my consumer report, which is technically ordinary income by the IRS. This a clear violation of my right as a consumer. Furthermore, this agency has shown a certificate of indebtedness on my report, which violates the Privacy Act of 1974. They have also violated my rights by showing transaction history on my report without obtaining my consent. As a result, I am now being forced to take legal action against this agency for violating my consumer rights as a consumer. I am deeply concerned about the impact that this agency 's actions have had on my reputation and financial standing. I urge you to investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action to ensure that this agency is held accountable for their actions.
