Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports

I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am filing this complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to assure that the rights granted to me under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S. code XXXX are fully enforced. I assert that the creditor ( CBNA ( CITIBANK , NORTH AMERICA ) ) and reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX ) have directly violated the provisions of the FCRA by the specifics of each instance of violation are outlined below, along with specific citations of Title 15 of USC Code, 1681 and 6802, as well as 12 CFR where I believe my rights have been violated. I will also provide a PDF file of this text, in the supporting documents section, for greater clarity and clearer formatting. 

As a consumer, I have suffered from the negative, deleterious effects of these infractions and I hence request punitive damages and reparations be provided to me to remunerate my losses, which I will summarize in an attached PDF file, titled CFPB Consumer Finance Protection BureauXXXXCBNA_CITIBANK-NORTH AMERICA_XXXX-2023.pdf ( This Document ) ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Chapter 41 > Subchapter III 1681 Congressional findings and statement of purpose ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting ( 4 ) states : There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 
My assertion is that they have violated this by the detailed issues/violations set forth in the following : ISSUE VIOLATION ( 1 ) 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Congressional findings and statement of purpose ( b ) Reasonable procedures states : It is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter. 

My assertion is that their process has in no way been fair and equitable to me, the consumer, specifically with regard to the confidentiality, for these items are now a matter of public record, without my prior knowledge or agreement. 

15 U.S. Code 1681 : This represents 1 violation per each of the 3 reporting agencies XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ( 3 total ) ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ISSUE VIOLATION ( 2 ) XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer.

My assertion is that they have violated privacy obligation policy by making these reports, which are now publicly available, and have not protected my security and confidentiality.

I have reason to believe this information is innacurate, and CBNA ( CITIBANK , NORTH AMERICA ) has not provided me the chance to rebut their assertions that the information is accurate.

Every consumer reporting agency shall make a reasonable effort to verify the identity of a new prospective user and the uses certified by such prospective user prior to furnishing such user a consumer report. No consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report to any person if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the consumer report will not be used for a purpose listed in section 1681b of this title. 

I assert that XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are in fact not maintaining reasonable procedures. 
This represents 1 violations each ( 3 total ) by each of these 3 reporting agencies.
