Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX Clearone Advantage Debt Settlement Company Around XX/XX/XXXX ( agreement later signed XX/XX/XXXX ), I was contacted by Clearone Advantage regarding a debt settlement offer. I was having problems due to many challenges largely due to taking care of my Dad ( passed away in XXXX. From the start of the relationship with Clearone, I was advised the company has the best negotiators to help resolve all debts and get a brand new start on my credit within 2 years. Also since Clearone would be entering the negotiations on my behalf, they would get a reduce principal amount from each creditor. I was instructed not to contact my creditors and if the creditors contact me to not speak to them under any circumstances as it would hamper the negotiations. The company has indicated to stop making payments on my credit cards. The company was collecting approximately {$600.00} from my bank account along with other fees. 

In XXXX, I received approximately 5 lawsuits from my various creditors for non-payment. ClearOne did nothing to help me and after speaking to a Senior leader at the company, they indicated certain debts were not being negotiated. I had to immediately respond to all lawsuits and in some cases settle outside of court with the creditors. I wrote a complaint letter to the senior team of ClearOne but nothing happened ( see letter attached ). 

As of this present day, largely my accounts are charged off. I had to resolve the lawsuits as best I could without an Attorney and negotiating with the creditors ' Attorneys. 

Further because of ClearOnes instructions to me to stop paying my accounts, it has had a : 1 ) Detrimental impact to my credit score 2 ) Has impacting my ability to get employment because employer run a background check as part of the employment process. The delinquent accounts are showing. 
3 ) Multiple charge offs are listed on my accounts 4 ) Search engines have picked up the lawsuits when searching my name. I had to pay {$4000.00} to a reputation company to remove my name from databases. Also I have had to work with XXXX XXXX and XXXX to see if my name can be redacted from search engine databases. This also has impacted my brand and reputation.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Experian improperly shared my contact information with many parties. Starting on Monday XX/XX/XXXX and continuing on Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX I received over 40 calls and text messages from creditors offering mortgage or mortgage refinance products. I never consented to them sharing my information. The creditors confirmed the info came from Experian. Experian makes it literally IMPOSSIBLE to get ahold of someone to stop the illegal sharing of my personal data. The phone number on their website they suggest calling when a privacy violation occurs is NOT attended to ( it will ring twice and then go silent ). The other phone number on their website is automated only and regardless of which automated options you choose, the machine states they are unable to connect people to representatives. We needed to call a line specifically for business customers of Experian to try to find a backdoor way to get ahold of someone. I would like to Experian to show me where I consented to them sharing my personal data as required by law.

Complaint:
Pursuant to the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT [ 15 USC 1681S-2 ] it is PROHIBITED for a financial institution to furnish Negative Information about a consumer to a consumer reporting agency without providing such notice in WRITING to a consumer of such furnishing of Negative Information 30 days prior or after furnishing Negative Information to a consumer reporting agency. I swear under the penalty of perjury that I have never received the required notice in WRITING from the financial institutions that are furnishing Negative Information about me to consumer reporting agencies. The consumer reporting agencies ( XXXX AND XXXX ) are furnishing this Negative Information on my credit report and have responded to me and stated the information has been Verified when I sent in a dispute letter notifying them of the violation of my consumer rights. 
A consumer reporting agency could not have used reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information they are furnishing about me and VERIFY information that has been illegally furnished to them about me. According to the FCRA this action falls under [ 15 USC 1681n ] or [ 15 USC 1681o ] and it is damaging to me. My request as a consumer exercising my consumer rights has been to DELETE all the negative information from my consumer report and to UPDATE all Late Payments to PAANL : PAID AS AGREED NEVER LATE.
