Complaint:
I received my credit report and noticed violations under the 15 us code 1681 and 15 us code 1681b ( FCRA ). The law clearly states the following15 us code 1681b ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Meaning that if you do not have or havent gotten any written instructions from me ( the consumer ) to furnish an account on my report. It should not be there. That is a violation. I never gave written instruction to furnish any of the following accounts. Secondly according to the 15 us code 1681.The law clearly states 1. Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. The Congress makes the following findings : 2. The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system ( 4 ) There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. ( b ) Reasonable procedures 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. I sent out a letter To Verify The Accuracy On Credit Report and I did not get a response. So I send out another letter just in case they didn't receive it still no respond. Under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i, all unverified accounts MUST be promptly Fixed. I have the list of accounts thats inaccurate and its in clear violation of my privacy. Which is a violation of the law. This is embarrassing and damaging to my reputation as a consumer. I need financing for a car, house and this inaccurate report is hindering me. As the consumer.charge offs can not be reported if the Original Creditor charged off the debt but I did not receive a 1099c to recoup any finances. Thus indicating their removal from my profile. XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and the Reporting Agencies about the fraudulent use of my name in various ways, addresses that I have never lived, and other fraudulent use of my profile in which they furnished without my consent and verified without my consent. They have fraudulently assumed the role in my trust and personal identity against my will and acknowledgement and still continues to furnish such derogatory information against my written, oral, and otherwise requests to delete such information which has been a hindrance on my life. 
1. XXXX XXXX my Account was opened with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX the account was Charged off for the amount of {$1200.00}. 
2. XX/XX/XXXX my account was opened with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX the account was charged off for the Amount of {$23000.00}. 
These companies are in clear Violation of Language Fraud, Identity Fraud, and the Privacy Act of 1974. Not only did my bank violate the terms and conditions that they granted to me at the time of the account opening. The Credit Reporting agencies XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX have Also Violated my rights as a Consumer and broke the law by doing so. Now According to the Codes and the Federal Trade Commission i the consumer Must give my Consent for Said banks and third party companies to use or give out my Private Information. I the consumer must give Consent for the Third party Companies such as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, And Equifax to Report ANYTHING ON MY CREDIT. Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act as a Federally Protected Consumer I Am Now OPTING OUT of ANY & ALL authorization that I the Consumer may have Given you Written, unwritten, verbal or nonverbal per 15 usc 6802. 16CFR 313.13. Furthermore Every 30 days im supposed to receive the Option to Opt Out, which was never Expressed nor sent for me to Properly conduct my Affairs.
