Consumer Complaint: This notice is not a request for verification of the account or proof of my mailing address but a request for validation made pursuant to the FDCPA laws.

I would like to inform you that in case your agency has reported invalidated account information to any of the three main credit bureaus such as XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, then it will be regarded as a fraudulent action under both federal and state statutes. Due to this reason, if any negative item is reported to any of my credit reports by your agency or the agency that you represent, then I will be compelled to take legal steps against you for the below mentioned reasons : * Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( F.C.R.A. ) * Violation of the F.D.C.P.A. * Use of my copyrighted property * Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 1681b * Misrepresentation of facts 5.

Date Received: 2024-01-19

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Here 's a reworded version of your statement : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 USC 1681 section 602 a, it is emphasized that consumer reporting agencies such as Equifax and XXXX must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumer privacy rights. As a consumer, I am protected under 15 USC 6801, which states that financial institutions have an ongoing obligation to respect customer privacy and safeguard their nonpublic personal information. Moreover, 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that consumer reporting agencies can only provide a consumer report with the explicit written consent of the consumer. I have not given my consent for the furnishing of this information to credit agencies such as Equifax and XXXX. Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) specifies that a financial institution can not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without informing the consumer about their right to request nondisclosure. The entity providing information to credit agencies did not inform me of this right. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including certain adverse information in a consumer report without proper authorization. This information is being reported against the law. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A, it is unlawful to furnish inaccurate consumer information to a consumer reporting agency. Equifax and XXXX are failing to maintain reasonable procedures as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681e, which is designed to prevent violations and restrict the furnishing of consumer reports to specific purposes. Lastly, as per 12 CFR 1016.7, I am exercising my right to opt out of your reporting services at this time.
