Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 I sent a debt validation letter to was Westlake Portfolio Management XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX. Today I receive a letter in the mail from westlake stating that they are a debt collector and request that I pay a debt that was sold to them by US Auto finance , inc who is out of business and disputed the contract agreement we had. In turn I do not feel this debt is valid in the event that US Auto finance sold the debt to westlake and breached the contract by not honoring the vehicle service contract or gap warranty I was paying for in my car payment every 2 weeks. In the letter I received today westlake portfolio management provided me with a new address to dispute the debt.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  I sent a wire from my account at XXXX XXXX  to another business account at Wells Fargo Bank in the amount of {$3900.00}. I am in the music entertainment media industry and the proceeds were commission for an artist. Wells Fargo denied the wire requesting additional information for a name that was input in the memo field. This has nothing to do with the business in which I sent the wire to. I am unable to provide them with the information they are requiring because it is personal information of an individual who is referenced in the memo field. This has nothing to do with the beneficiary who is receiving the wire. I requested a recall on the wire, and they are refusing to return the money stating that its mandatory that I provide information for an individual referenced in the " memo '' field. This is unlawful and has had an impact on me conducting business. Not to mention the negativity it has had on my reputation. I need the CFPB to intervene so that I am able to retrieve my funds. Please see details below ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) XXXX- XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Wells Fargo ) Date wire initiated- XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  Amount- {$3900.00}

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I just received a copy of my credit report and to my surprise, I noticed that my right to privacy has been violated. By no means have I given you any permission to report non-public personal information without written consent. Nor have I provided any financial institution, or third party ( collection agencies ) authority to obtain any information. 

In regards to 15 U.S. Code 6802 Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information ( c ) Limits on reuse of information Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a nonaffiliated third party that receives from a financial institution nonpublic personal information under this section shall not, directly or through an affiliate of such receiving the third party, disclose such information to any other person that is a nonaffiliated third party of both the financial institution and such receiving the third party, unless such disclosure would be lawful if made directly to such other person by the financial institution. 

I do not consent to any third party obtaining non-personal information without my knowledge or notice. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) was enacted to protect the confidential information on consumers ' credit reports from misuse, fraud, and theft. It gives consumers the right to ensure that the information on their credit reports is not only correct but private. 

Also in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681a Definitions ; rules of construction, ( 2 ) ( C ) any report in which a person who has been requested by a third party to make a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly to a consumer conveys his or her decision with respect to such request, if the third party advises the consumer of the name and address of the person to whom the request was made, and such person makes the disclosures to the consumer required under section 1681m of this title. 

Due to the breach of my privacy, I am requesting the following items be Deleted Immediately.

I did not authorize anyone to use my information or to be given to a third party.

I never gave authority to open such account. It is not authorized and I have never given permission for it to open and charged. Please remove this account from my credit report, all of the inquiries, and block them from placing these unauthorized account on my credit. This is a scam & I was defrauded. This inaccurate account is being reported in my credit records and is hurting my financial stability. I am a victim of fraud and theft. I have requested multiple times for verification of this account and send out disputes on the following dates : XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021, XX/XX/2021 but Ive had no responses.

I need help in this situation because I can not refinance many loans I have or obtain new lines of credit.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/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 Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per XXXX and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
