Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: During the time of my freeze and beyond, i was under a credit lock under all three consumer reporting agencies during which in order to authorize a credit check my permission was required to check my credit with written or verbal consent prior to an authorization. However, i discovered that despite having had an active alert on, XXXX XXXX for fraud, there are inquiries that I do not recognize on my credit report. I did not give any of these following agencies and parties the authorization to make an inquiry on my credit. Especially with an active note of fraud alert that was on my account prior to the inquiries that were made against my credit report. All of the credit bureaus did not honor this request and none of the parties on my credit report consulted me about my credit being checked before running my credit whatsoever. Additionally I did not authorize any checks in relation to the parties involved with my consumer reports. Notably, XXXX XXXX XXXX checked my credit on a date that i did not recall and i spoke to them on XX/XX/2023 at XXXX XXXX XXXX to confirm the inquiry made. They denied any participation in an unauthorized check on my credit. Under such provisions, my rights were violated. On Grounds : [ 15 USC 1681a ss 603 ( m ) ( 1-3 ) ; use of information was abused during the period which the fraud alert was active and the disposition of the circumstances within my rights were breeched by all the parties involved since there was no notable communication on my behalf ( reserved ), FCRA/FCR Title 12 X 1016.13 ; Contrary to rule, sustains the provision where information was misused and justifies prior law under my rights as a consumer, there was again, misuse and failure to provide supplemental notice and information to me and upholding my rights as the consumer, FCRA/FCR Title 12 X 1016.15 ; Relative to other violations in terms of practices ( Reserved ), 15 USC 1681 ss 602 ( a ) ( 1-4 ) & 15 USC 1681 ss 602 ( b ) ; ( As Defined ) Moreover, the entities, parties, affiliates, and agencies failed to adhere to policies and laws as outlined in this statute with careful consideration for myself and what has happened with the misuse of my consumer reports recording and authorizing information to be pulled without subsequent notice, especially when my consumer reports have a notable fraud alert notice and in requirements states that all authorization needed to run my consumer reports requires authorization from me, the consumer in advance whether it be verbally or written. 15 USC 1681b ss 604 ( b ) ( 1-2 ) & 15 USC 1681b ss 604 ( c ) ( 1-3 ) ; ( Sustained ) There was no disclosure of the usage of information from any and all parties involved with the initial inquiry made on my consumer reports at any point during the time and peaks that credit checks were authorized without my consent. Notably, this is also in justification and in protection of other laws as mentioned in my explanation and where violations have been made thus far. 15 USC 1681q ss 619 ; ( Reserved ) Under the relations and laws as mentioned, it is showcases and implies that my information was obtained and used under false pretenses which violates my rights as a consumer notably and support my stake in my complaint. 15 USC 1681o ss 617 ; ( Reserved ) Supports and justifies position with ss 619, ]

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

Consumer Complaint: According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' XXXX, Equifax and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies Equifax and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to Equifax, XXXX, ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option.

'' I am opting out of your reporting 3rd party services. Which includes the following XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
