Complaint:
To whom this may concern : I would like to state that according to 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) 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. I have lost faith in the banking systems due to your company reporting false and inaccurate information on my report without my consent. Your company is blatantly violating federal law ( 15 U.S. Code 1611- Criminal liability for willful and knowing violation Whoever willfully and knowingly ( 1 ) gives false or inaccurate information can be held liable ). I noticed unauthorized accounts on my consumer report. I have not signed any documents authorizing your organization to report any accounts on my consumer report therefore, your reporting of accounts on my consumer report violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am requesting that your company blocks and remove all disputed fraudulent accounts from my consumer report pursuant to [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ] ( a ) Block Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency SHALL block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( mo ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. 15 U.S. 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.

The law states that before you collect any information, about me, you have to get my authorization to access my consumer report for any reason. According to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) You infringed upon my right to privacy and your reporting is unfair and without impartiality. YOUR COMPANY HAS AIDED THIS FRAUD BY NOT VERIFYING THESE ACCOUNTS. I DO NOT CONSENT TO E-OSCAR OR ANY OTHER MEANS OF AUTOMATED VERIFICATION. I DEMAND YOU PROVIDE ME WITH THE FOLLOWING. 1. Provide a CERTIFIED copy of Authorization signed by me, naming your company as having my consent to furnish, update, verify, inquiries, add comments and/or dispute codes of any access to my personal consumer file. 2.
