With further understanding gained in my own free time and research it has come to my attention that my privacy has been continuously violated. I demand this matter be handled immediately. The audacity of non-compliance from reporting agency has tremendously affected my livelihood, judging my character, has made me seem as if I'm not creditworthy, lendable, just a complete embarrassment and downright humiliation. My performance as a consumer has been severally violated along with my financial stability. As a federally protected consumer I am seeking compensation for all violations and damages that have been intentionally acted against me {$2500.00} per violation and damages suffered {$1000.00} per reporting per month when disputes began. 15 USC 1681e The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information.
