Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are illegally furnishing a consumer report of me containing exclusions which is a violation of FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681a ) which states that a " consumer report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report '' is excluded from the consumer report. In case these consumer reporting agencies are not aware, I offer them an opportunity to remove these violations. I demand my privacy be taking seriously and if these agencies continue to violate I demand the CFPB fully enforce its obligations to hold these reporting agencies accountable for their actions in violation of the FCRA and consumer Privacy laws.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I looked at my report back on XX/XX/XXXX, and noticed some things are incomplete and not accurate. I sent a letter to Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX and asked them to investigate the completeness and accuracy. I received the results and noticed they did not fix nothing. There are breaking Federal law According to 15 USC 1681e ( b ) it states this ( b ) Accuracy of report 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 15 USC 1681 ( 5 ) it states this ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( * ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. According to 15 USC 1681s-2 it states this. ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors 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. ( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate. This is unfair and if they are doing this to me imagine who else they are doing this too. Please fix
