Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: ( 15 u.s. Code 1602p ) The term " unauthorized use, '' as used in section 1643 of this title, means a use credit card by a person other than the cardholder who does not have actual, implied, or apparent authority for such use and from which the cardholder receives no benefit. ( 15 USC 1692b ) Not state that such consumer owes any debt ; Analysis a debt collector seeking location information must identify themselves by name, but must not identify his employer unless asked. When asked, however, the collector must give the true and full name of the employer to comply with this provision and avoid violating other sections of the FDCPA. An individual debt collector may use an alias if it is used consistently and if it does not interfere with another party 's ability to identify him, and the collection laws of his or her state allow the same. Telling a 3rd party that you owe a debt is illegal! First, it may not be true thus unjustly damaging your reputation and second, it is simply nobody else 's business. " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' CAN NOT PROVIDE A CONTRACT PROVING ANY BUSINESS I HAVE DONE WITH THEM. I DO NOT OWE ANY MONEYS TO SAID PARTY. 15US CODE 1692J ( A ) It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating
