Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: To Whom It May Concern, I am writing this letter to formally dispute the information contained in my consumer report, as provided by your agency. After a thorough review of my report, I have discovered that undisclosed personal information about me has been shared with a non-affiliated third party without my explicit written consent. This discovery raises serious concerns as it appears to be a violation of the regulations outlined in 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with Respect to Disclosures of Personal Information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I understand that I have the right to be informed about and control the disclosure of my personal information. The disclosure to a non-affiliated third party without affording me the opportunity to opt-out, as mandated by law, is a direct infringement on my privacy rights. Upon meticulous examination of the report, I observed that specific accounts are being reported without my explicit written consent. It is essential to clarify that my dispute is not with the creditor but with your reporting agency for disseminating and reporting information without proper authorization. I specifically refer to 15 USC 1681b - Permissible Purpose, which mandates a consumer 's written consent for the reporting of personal information. As of now, I have not provided such written consent, and I request documentation to substantiate my consent, thereby ensuring compliance with this legal requirement. Failure to provide evidence of my consent could be interpreted as a violation of my rights under the FCRA. Additionally, I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding this matter, and the reference number for my complaint is XXXX. I am under the belief that the unauthorized disclosure and reporting of my personal information may constitute a violation under 18 USC 1028a, potentially constituting identity theft. In accordance with 15 USC 1681c-2, I formally request the removal of the following accounts from my consumer report within four business days from the date of this letter : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2020 Account Type : Credit card I emphasize my right to a fair and accurate credit reporting process, and the swift removal of these accounts is crucial to rectifying the reported inaccuracies. Furthermore, I request documentation regarding your method of verification for the disputed accounts and records showing proof of my option to opt out of the information being reported in my consumer report. This will ensure that your reporting agency adheres to the necessary standards for accuracy and fairness in credit reporting. I anticipate your prompt attention to this matter and the resolution of my dispute within the specified timeframe of four business days. Non-compliance with the provisions of the FCRA may result in further legal action. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: These accounts on my consumer report are illegal and inaccurate. I never gave any company or credit bureaus permission to report to my consumer report and they are reporting fradualent information. The companies dont seem to fact check the information they are illegally reporting and are giving me a hard time getting these account updated/remove because they are effecting my day to day life. I have tried to communicate with the bureaus through written and verbal communication. This a aggravated identity theft per 8 U.S. Code 1028A.
