Consumer Complaint: I applied for a mortgage on our rental home and have received roughly 100 mortgage solicitation calls in 2 days! I have to keep my phone on silent because it is constant. Ive also received numerous solicitation texts as well. It is my understanding that the 3 credit bureaus sell my information to solicitors. This is absolutely harassment. This must stop!

According to 15 USC 1681e Compliance and Procedures section ( 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. I have already sent mail out and it has been over 30 DAYS before I received a response which now means the credit reporting agency is now in VIOLATION of my consumer financial rights! Second, the F.C.R.A states, Section 607. Compliance and Procedures [ 15 U.S.C 1681e ] ( b ) Accuracy of report, the CRA must provide me with a copy of my consumer report at 100 % accuracy at all times! These addresses and old personal information do not belong to me and are inaccurate therefore violating my consumer rights. Lastly, F.C.R.A says, Section 609. Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] Every consumer reporting agency shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. These errors must be fixed at once. Once done send me report of everything removed
