Issue: Improper use of your report
Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly
Consumer Complaint: Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized inquiries on my credit report by XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. It appears that these inquiries were made without my written consent, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681b. The FCRA outlines permissible purposes for consumer reports, and one of these purposes, as stated in 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), is to furnish a consumer report in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Furthermore, under P.L 90-321 ( 82 Stat. 146 ), which supports the FCRA, stricter provisions are in place to ensure that consumer reports are only obtained in response to specific requests authorized by certain government agencies. I have not provided written consent for these inquiries, nor have I authorized any entity to request my credit report for the purposes for which these inquiries were made. As such, it appears that XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX have violated the FCRA by furnishing my consumer report without my written instructions or consent. I would also like to bring your attention to the Privacy Act of 1974, particularly 5 U.S. Code 552a ( 4 ), which defines the term " record '' as any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual maintained by an agency. This includes, but is not limited to, information about the individual 's education, financial transactions, medical history, and criminal or employment history. I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action to address these unauthorized inquiries. Enclosed with this letter, you will find copies of relevant documents, including my credit report reflecting the unauthorized inquiries. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take the necessary steps to ensure that my rights under the FCRA are protected. XX/XX/XXXX

Consumer Complaint: I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.
