Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

Re : Violations of Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) I recently got a copy of my consumer file and noticed that there was inaccurate information. According to the FCRA you must be reporting 100 % correct information at all times and that is not what my credit file reflects at this time. You have 30 days to remove the personal information listed in this letter. I am also requesting you to provide me with the furnisher of this information or where you got this information from. Please PERMANENTLY REMOVE the following. 
This letter serves as a demand for immediate corrective actions, including the removal of inaccurate information from my credit report and the imposition of appropriate fines and penalties for your non-compliance.the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S. Code 1692. I demand immediate corrective actions, including the removal of inaccurate information, imposition of fines, and enforcement of compliance with relevant laws You are referring to a portion of 15 U.S. Code 1681c ( a ), which outlines restrictions on the inclusion of certain types of information in consumer reports. Here 's a rewritten version of the relevant clause with clarity on what consumer reporting agencies can not include : Consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from including in a consumer report any adverse items of information ( other than records of convictions of crimes ) that are older than 7 years. This includes adverse financial data such as : Accounts sent to collections. 
Charged-off accounts. 
Any other negative financial information. 
However, records of convictions of crimes are an exception to this rule and may be reported beyond the 7-year limitation. 
This provision ensures that outdated and irrelevant negative information ( except criminal convictions ) does not unfairly impact a consumer 's creditworthiness or access to opportunities. 
15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) pertains to the responsibilities of entities that furnish information to consumer reporting agencies, ensuring accuracy in the information they provide. Here 's a clear summary : 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) - Duty of Furnishers to Provide Accurate Information Prohibition on Reporting Inaccurate Information : A furnisher ( such as a creditor or lender ) can not knowingly furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if : The information is inaccurate. 
The furnisher has reason to believe the information is inaccurate. 
Obligation to Update and Correct Information : If the furnisher discovers that previously provided information is inaccurate or incomplete, they must : Promptly correct or update the information. 
Notify all consumer reporting agencies to which the inaccurate information was furnished. 

This section ensures that entities providing data to credit bureaus uphold accuracy and transparency, reducing the risk of harm to consumers due to incorrect information on their credit reports. Would you like further details or help crafting a notice or dispute related to this? 
Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), it is explicitly prohibited for any person to furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if : The information relates to a transaction or experience ( e.g., payment history ) that the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe involves an illegal activity. 
This includes any dealings or transactions, such as reporting payment history or account activities, that are associated with unlawful conduct. Reporting such information is considered a violation of federal law and undermines the integrity of consumer reporting. 
Let me know if you need help drafting this into a formal letter or document! 
Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( f ), the illegal reporting of inquiries refers to the prohibition of accessing or furnishing consumer reports for impermissible purposes. Here 's how this applies : Illegal Reporting of Inquiries : A consumer reporting agency or any person shall not obtain or use a consumer report unless : The report is requested for a permissible purpose as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( e.g., credit applications, employment, insurance underwriting ). 
The requester has a legitimate business need for the information, authorized by the consumer or required by law. 
If an inquiry appears on a consumer 's credit report without a valid permissible purpose or the consumer 's authorization, this constitutes illegal reporting of inquiries. Such unauthorized inquiries can harm a consumer 's credit score or appear as misuse of their personal information. 

Would you like help drafting a dispute letter to address unauthorized inquiries or further explanation of permissible purposes?

The third-party debt buyers, XXXX XXXX, have no valid contractual agreement with me, and yet they continue to report my charged-off accounts, violating the FCRA and FDCPA. These entities must cease all reporting activities and remove these debts from my credit report immediately. 

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681c, adverse information, including late payments, can not be reported inaccurately. Additionally, the improper reporting of these late payments also violates 15 U.S. Code 1666, which governs the accurate reporting of financial transactions.
