Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared. " It is the policy of 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. The furnisher of information to credit agencies is a financial institution by definition under title 15 USC 1681 section 604a 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 if information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the consumer reporting agency/agents of XXXX, XXXX & Equifax do not have my consent to furnish this information and surely do not have my written consent, whether is verbal, non-verbal, implied, or otherwise revoked. Any/all agents of XXXX, XXXX & Equifax have been assuming the roles of holding my information without my permission while reporting inaccurate information and making money off my information. They have refused time and time again to investigate disputed information and failed to delete or correct incorrect information which violates federal law. After filing disputes with any/all agents of XXXX, XXXX & Equifax XXXX they have made their own decision, on purpose, to drop my credit score either by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX without notifying me, verifying, and completing a full investigation for inaccuracy. I have attempted to resolve this matter with any/all agents of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX. They all have refused and continued to violate the following ; 15 U.S. Code 45 Privacy Act of 1974, Education Privacy Act of 1974 Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681, section 602 621 of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s, 12 CFR 1022- Fair Credit Reporting Act 12 CFR 1016.4 16 CFR 433.2 15 USC 16802 ( b ) ( c ) 15 U.S. Code 1681e to avoid violations of section 1681c-15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( f ). 15 USC 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) 15 U.S. Code 1692e

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards. Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.
