Complaint:
Notice to principal is notice to agent notice to agent is notice to principal I am writing to express my serious concerns regarding a matter that pertains to my right to privacy and the violation of my consent in the context of a consumer report. 

As an individual who values their privacy, I am deeply troubled by the recent events that have come to my attention. I have discovered that a consumer report containing my personal information has been generated without my explicit consent. This is a clear violation of my rights as outlined under the mentioned legal statutes. 

According to 15 USC 1681a ( b ) ( 2 ) ( i ), consumer reporting agencies are required to exclude certain accounts from a consumer report when those accounts arose from transactions and experiences involving my credit card. This exclusion is essential to protect the privacy and rights of individuals like me. However, I have observed that accounts stemming from my credit card transactions which congress defines a credit card as 15 USC 1602 ( L ). These transactions and experiences have not been excluded from the consumer report, as mandated by law. 

Furthermore, it has come to my attention that your organization claims to have a permissible purpose to furnish information about me, as allowed by 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) However, I want to emphasize that I have never provided written consent for your company or any affiliated entities to furnish, collect, or disseminate any information about me. This lack of explicit consent raises serious questions about the legality of the consumer report in question.

I kindly request that you promptly investigate this matter. I also request that all accounts that arose from a consumer credit transaction which was done by my credit card as defined by congress 15USC 1602 ( L ) should be excluded according to 15 USC 1681a ( b ) ( 2 ) ( i ) will be removed from the report immediately. Please provide a written statement on why my consent was not obtained before generating a consumer report on my behalf It is my sincere hope that we can resolve this issue amicably and ensure that my rights are upheld in accordance with the law. Please respond to this letter within 15 days with your findings and proposed actions to rectify this situation. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution.

Complaint:
To whom it may concern : I received a copy of my credit report with the intention of trying to take care of my responsibilities and noticed an account that I wanted a little more explanation on. I am not saying they are reporting right or wrong. I am saying that I am not 100 % sure if they are. I read in the FCRA that it said by law, I had the right to challenge anything I am not sure is accurate.

According to 15 USC sec 1781i ( a ) : if you can't provide proof, the account must be deleted. I want to have the account deleted if it's not 100 % accurate. Could you check on this and get back to me? I saw on a credit site and board, the lawyer said you have 30 days to complete this investigation. Please investigate the following account and remove it if anything is missing or not correct on it. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX. # XXXX This account has been verified, however, the original creditor said that they don't have this information, so how are you truly verifying this account? I will have to pursue legal counsel if this is the case. 

Also, please let me know who had access to my file as well.

I've received repeated robo calls from this company on XXXX area code numbers every day for the past week. I answered a call this week to find out the person at the agency was looking for a XXXX male, can't remember the name she asked for. I told her she had the wrong number and to stop calling my number. She promised to take me off the list but apparently hasn't. I've received calls from XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX & XXXX today. The next day I got another call this time from someone claiming to look for me. They always attempt to argue the point rather than follow the law. The woman swore she " knew '' the law but really doesn't. I repeatedly asked her if she understood that she had to notify me first in writing, so I would know what the call was about. She never answered. I reminded her the law states NO robo calling without written notification first. These rough house collection agencies keep breaking the law repeatedly by making repeated and harassing robo calls rather than sending written notification with contact information, prior to making sporadic all day harassing robo calls with no messages left. The only thing they're doing is XXXX me off and forcing me to look for attorneys to sue them! I've blocked every number they've called me from and will continue to do so! I got another robo call from someone named XXXX at XXXX a few minutes ago, asking for XXXX XXXX, that's the 2nd time they've contacted me for a male XXXX who I don't know! I told XXXX if they call me again I'll file suit! She hung up on me but you can bet they'll call again! I want them to! Just so I can sue them and make an example out of them!
