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

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.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ). According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion. Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors. In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. I am also placing a FTC reference number- # XXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ), it is essential to ensure that consumer reporting agencies carry out their significant responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's privacy rights. As a consumer, I have the right to safeguard my private information, as supported by 15 USC 6801, which emphasizes the Congress 's policy that financial institutions must actively protect customer privacy and the confidentiality of nonpublic personal information. A " furnisher of information to credit agencies, '' classified as a financial institution, falls under this title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) stipulates that a consumer reporting agency may only provide a consumer report in accordance with the written instructions of the respective consumer. I want to make it clear that both the financial institution ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) and the consumer reporting agencies, Equifax and XXXX, lack my consent to furnish this information, and they certainly do not possess my written consent. Any form of consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, granted to Equifax, XXXX, or the Furnisher of information to credit agencies is hereby revoked. Referring to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), a financial institution can not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without explaining how the consumer can exercise the nondisclosure option. The Furnisher of information to credit agencies failed to inform me of my right to exercise this option. Furthermore, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) explicitly prohibits a consumer reporting agency from including adverse information in a consumer report without authorization. This account, reported as an adverse item, is being presented without my permission, violating the law. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), a person must not furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe the information is inaccurate. 15 U.S. Code 1681e mandates every consumer reporting agency to maintain reasonable procedures to prevent violations and restrict the furnishing of consumer reports to specific purposes. Equifax and XXXX are failing to uphold reasonable procedures. Additionally, 12 CFR 1016.7 affirms that a consumer has the right to opt out at any time. I am choosing to opt out of your reporting services.
