Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I'm XXXX XXXX, and I'm writing to discuss some issues with my credit report that I received from your agency. I recently discovered that my personal information was shared with a third party without my permission. This seems to go against the rules outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. According to my understanding of the law, I have the right to know and control who gets my personal information. However, my report shows that some details were shared without giving me the chance to say no. I want to clarify that my problem is not with the companies I owe money to but with your agency for sharing my information without asking me first. According to the law, you're supposed to get my written consent before reporting my personal information, and I haven't given that consent. I'm asking for proof that I agreed to this, as required by law. I've also reported this issue to the Federal Trade Commission, and my complaint number is XXXX. I'm worried that this unauthorized sharing of my information might be a form of identity theft. I'm formally requesting the removal of the following accounts from my report within XXXX business days : XXXX XXXX XXXX- Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT - Account Number : XXXX I've also noticed some unauthorized inquiries on my report. I'd like these removed as well : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX EQUIFAX MORTGAGE SOLUTIONS- Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Inquiry date XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX I want to make it clear that I have the right to a fair and accurate credit report. Removing these accounts is crucial for correcting the mistakes in my report. Additionally, I'm asking for documentation on how you verified the disputed accounts and proof that I had the option to opt out of having my information reported. I expect you to address this matter promptly and resolve the dispute within XXXX business days. If not, I may have to take further legal action. Thank you for your quick attention to this issue.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
