Consumer Complaint: I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Consumer Complaint: I appreciate the effort taken to address the removal of certain fraudulent items from my file, stemming from an alleged identity theft. However, there are still remaining items that require removal from my credit reports. As a victim of identity theft, this serves as another request to eliminate these outstanding items from my credit file, attributed to alleged identity theft. Pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), you are mandated to remove any such items not later than 4 business days after XX/XX/XXXX. Despite the passage of several months, only a few items have been removed. I have previously raised this issue in my initial complaint, and I am reiterating it now, along with my new FTC Report # XXXX. Additionally, the information provided on these items is UNKNOWN to me, and it has been REMOVED from other bureaus, raising doubts about their accuracy.

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly
Consumer Complaint: I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian Reporting Agency, underscoring significant concerns related to potential violations of privacy laws, particularly emphasizing the lack of adequate disclosures regarding opt-out rights, and drawing attention to the provisions of The Privacy Act of 1974, 15 USC 6805, 16 CFR Part 313, 16 CFR 433.2, 5 USC 522a , and FCRA Sec 603 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( a ) ( I ). As a responsible consumer, I expect credit reporting agencies, such as Experian, to uphold the highest standards of transparency, fairness, and compliance with pertinent regulations. Recent observations have raised serious concerns, necessitating a thorough investigation into the practices of Experian Reporting Agency. My primary concern revolves around the apparent lack of disclosure regarding consumers ' right to opt out of information sharing, a critical aspect of consumer privacy. Section 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) mandates credit reporting agencies to provide clear explanations on how consumers can exercise their opt-out rights. However, it appears that Experian may not be effectively communicating this crucial information to consumers. Furthermore, the absence of information regarding the option to opt out, a right afforded to consumers under 16 CFR Part 313, is deeply troubling. This omission not only hinders consumers from making informed decisions but also raises questions about compliance with regulatory requirements mandating the provision of clear and accessible information regarding opting out. In addition to the lack of opt-out disclosures, my concerns extend to potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ). Section 602a of this act underscores the importance of credit reporting agencies exercising their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and utmost respect for consumer privacy. Experian may not be fully compliant with these provisions. Moreover, the apparent lack of information regarding opt-out options may indicate a broader issue of insufficient privacy disclosures. Section 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), which explicitly prohibits credit reporting agencies from disclosing certain adverse information without proper authorization, underscores the necessity for clear and explicit privacy disclosures, particularly in light of the provisions of The Privacy Act of 1974. Additionally, under 15 USC 6805, I note that the privacy notice included in the terms and conditions reveals the involvement of third-party companies. This implies that my privacy rights may have been violated by Experian under both The Privacy Act and the terms and conditions. I am also aware that 16 CFR 433.2 outlines specific requirements related to creditors and consumer leases. Furthermore, I emphasize the critical importance of 5 USC 522a, particularly in relation to identity theft. Protecting personal information is paramount in preventing identity theft, and Experian must adhere to the highest standards in safeguarding consumers ' sensitive data. I suspect that Experian may have violated 5 USC 522a, which prohibits the unauthorized use of personal information. Adding to these concerns, Experian appears to have violated FCRA Sec 603 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( a ) ( I ), as the law states that it is illegal to have a consumer report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. Any such violation contributes to a breach of consumer trust and a failure to adhere to the fundamental principles of consumer protection. Finally, I draw attention to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A, emphasizing the importance of furnishing accurate information to consumers. Any failure to ensure the accuracy of shared information may potentially contravene this stipulation. In light of these grave concerns, I urgently request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau conducts a thorough investigation into the practices and procedures employed by Experian Reporting Agency. Additionally, I implore the Bureau to address the lack of opt-out and privacy disclosures, considering The Privacy Act of 1974, 15 USC 6805, 16 CFR Part 313, 16 CFR 433.2, 5 USC 522a , and FCRA Sec 603 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( a ) ( I ), and take appropriate measures to ensure compliance with privacy laws and consumer protection statutes. I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take the necessary steps to safeguard consumer rights.
