The Privacy Act of 1974 The Privacy Act of 1974 is a federal law that governs our collection and use of records we maintain on you in a system of records. A system of records is any grouping of information about an individual under the control of a Federal agency from which information is retrievable by personal identifiers, such as name, social security number, or other identifying number or symbol. Under the Privacy Act, Federal agencies may not disclose information without consent unless certain exceptions apply to the disclosure. The Privacy Act provides protections to individuals in three primary ways. It provides individuals with : ..the right to request their records, subject to Privacy Act exemptions ; ..the right to request a change to their records that are not accurate, relevant, timely or complete ; and ..the right to be protected against unwarranted invasion of their privacy resulting from the collection, maintenance, use, and disclosure of their personal information. All OSC 's System of Records Notices ( SORNs ) are published in the Federal Register. These notices provide the legal authority for collecting and storing records, individuals about whom records will be collected, what kinds of information will be collected, and how the records will be used.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Personal information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act, Experian has violated my rights many times, on many levels. My consumer report from Experian contains incorrect addresses, addresses that dont even exist, and addresses that I have NEVER lived at or lived at as a minor with NO credit related products. It even contains an address that I obtained while on XXXX to XXXX, where I had little access to the outside world and no credit related products. This is intrusive and concerning. I used XXXX 's XXXX XXXX in XXXX, I personally disputed in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy. As well as 15 U.S.C. 6802, and the Privacy Act of 1974. This company is also violating Metro 2 Compliance guidelines. This is FRUAD AND IDENTITY THEFT. It saddens me to know that this company has complete control over my livelihood by sharing private personal information that is incorrect or invalid and AGAINST MY WILL. Their power is going completely unchecked, even with the laws in place that are supposed to protect my consumer and civil rights. I serve the XXXX XXXX and my country to fight for those can not fight for themselves and there seems to be no one or entity to fight for me. I will be taking this company to arbitration if the following addresses are not removed immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Attached I have a copy of my lease agreement to ensure that my record is undeniably and undoubtedly TRUE AND ACCURATE. I have also attached a copy of my latest dispute results provided from this company, as well as a list of the addresses I wish to remove.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: Under federal law ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ), you had thirty ( 30 ) days to complete your investigation from the date you received my dispute. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information and every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The information must be deleted from my report as soon as possible. Not only did you not respond in a timely matter, but the information was inaccurate and misleading and as such represents a very serious error in your reporting.
