Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to officially dispute the information found in my consumer report, as provided by your agency. Upon thorough review, I discovered that undisclosed personal information about me has been shared with a non-affiliated third party without obtaining my written consent. This action seems to be in violation of the regulations outlined in 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with Respect to Disclosures of Personal Information. In accordance with my understanding of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to be informed about and control the disclosure of my personal information. The disclosure to a non-affiliated third party raises concerns about my privacy rights, as I was never given the opportunity to opt-out, as mandated by law. Upon careful examination of the report, I noticed that specific accounts are being reported without my written consent. It is crucial to clarify that my dispute is not with the creditor but with your reporting agency for disseminating and reporting information without proper authorization. I refer to 15 USC 1681b - Permissible Purpose, which mandates a consumer 's written consent for the reporting of personal information. Presently, I have not provided such written consent, and I kindly request documentation to validate my consent, demonstrating compliance with this legal requirement. Failure to provide evidence of my consent could be considered a violation of my rights under the FCRA. Additionally, I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding this matter, and the reference number for my complaint is XXXX. I believe that the unauthorized disclosure and reporting of my personal information may constitute a violation under 18 USC 1028a, potentially constituting identity theft. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681c-2, I formally request the removal of the following accounts from my consumer report within XXXX business days from the date of this letter : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Unauthorized Inquiries XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/2022 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/2022 I affirm my right to a fair and accurate credit reporting process, emphasizing that the swift removal of these accounts is crucial to rectifying the reported inaccuracies. Furthermore, I request documentation regarding your method of verification for the disputed accounts and records showing proof of my option to opt out of the information being reported in my consumer report. This will ensure that your reporting agency adheres to the necessary standards for accuracy and fairness in credit reporting. I anticipate your prompt attention to this matter and the resolution of my dispute within the specified time frame of XXXX business days. Non-compliance with the provisions of the FCRA may result in further legal action. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
