Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' Equifax and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the XXXX. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies Equifax and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to Equifax, XXXX, ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law. 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. Equifax and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and concern regarding the several unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my account. Despite multiple reports and requests for assistance, the resolution process has been frustratingly ineffective, and the fraudulent charges persist, causing significant distress and inconvenience. I discovered unauthorized and fraudulent transactions on my account, prompting me to contact your institution immediately to report the fraudulent activities. Since then, I have diligently followed the necessary procedures for disputing unauthorized charges, providing detailed information, and submitting supporting evidence. Regrettably, my efforts to rectify this situation have been met with continuous setbacks, leading me to question the efficiency and effectiveness of the resolution process. I wish to bring the following issues to your attention : Despite multiple reports and the provision of supporting documentation, it appears that the investigation into these fraudulent transactions has not yielded the desired results. The lack of progress is concerning, and I am left with unresolved issues on my account. Throughout this process, there has been a significant lack of clear and consistent communication. Timely updates on the status of the investigation and the actions being taken would have provided reassurance during this challenging period. To my dismay, the fraudulent items persist on my account, indicating a failure to adequately address the issue and protect my account from further unauthorized activities. I understand that addressing fraud cases is a complex and challenging task, but as a concerned customer, I expect a higher level of urgency, transparency, and commitment to resolving such issues promptly. I am formally requesting an immediate and thorough review of the handling of my case. I insist on a comprehensive explanation of the steps taken to investigate and remove the fraudulent items from my account. Additionally, I seek clear assurances and a detailed plan outlining how your institution intends to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future. If my concerns are not addressed satisfactorily, I XXXX have no choice but to escalate this matter to the relevant regulatory authorities and consumer protection agencies. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
