Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. Account Number : XXXX is stating that it is 30 days or more late. This account has never been late. This account is also reporting differently on all 3 credit reports. There is a discrepancy in the last activity, payment status, payment history, as well as other areas. I disputed this information with Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. They said that the information was verified and accurate. I do not understand how it could be verified, if it's not accurate and incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify accounts that aren't reporting correctly. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) 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. 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602 A : States that I have a right to privacy 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: Monday, XX/XX/XXXXXXXX Subject : Follow-Up Consumer Opt-Out Dispute - Urgent Action Required On Accounts : XXXX XXXX Non-Compliance with Written Instructions XXXX TRACKING NUMBER : XXXX And Previous Recission of Permission to Furnished Data on My Consumer Report via Affidavit of XXXX. Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to follow up on opt-out letters dated XX/XX/XXXX, opt out letters with notice to cure sent XX/XX/XXXX, and Affidavits of XXXX Notarized XX/XX/XXXXXXXX in which I formally exercised my right to opt out of all authorizations, whether written or unwritten, verbal or non-verbal, that I have given to XXXX XXXX , XXXX and Equifax. This opt-out request is made in accordance with my rights as a Federally protected consumer under 15 U.S. Code 6802 -Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information. Regrettably, XXXX XXXX, XXXX and Equifax have chosen to ignore both of my opt-out letters entirely, and my consumer information continues to be furnished without my consent. This persistent violation of my rights under the FCRA is unacceptable. This is an ongoing and egregious violation of my consumer rights, as detailed in my previous communications. I must assert my demand for appropriate remedies to rectify the harm caused by the continued dissemination of inaccurate and unauthorized information. As previously stated, I have unequivocally rescinded all permission for the furnishing of my personal information, in perpetuity, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C 1681 ), Section 604. Despite these clear and legally binding instructions, XXXX XXXX, XXXX and Equifax have persistently and willfully disregarded the law, leading to a severe compromise of my privacy and financial well-being. The repeated and intentional violation of federal statutes, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C 1681 ) and the Protection of Nonpublic Personal Information ( 15 U.S.C 6801 ), raises grave concerns about XXXX XXXX, XXXX and Equifax 's commitment to respecting the privacy and security of consumers ' nonpublic personal information.
