Complaint:
As an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, My Fair Credit Reporting act consumer rights have been violated. I am deeply concerned by the acts of these companies and how they have portrayed me with the constant violations reported on my credit report. It has brought great shame to me and my family. My life since coming back over seas has been in shambles with the loss of family members, COVID, AND dealing with POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER ( XXXX ). I am unable to live a regular life due to these acts. 


The account listed below has violated my federal given consumer rights to privacy amongst other things.

I never gave them written instructions to report the accounts listed above to my consumer report. 

15 USC 1681 section 602 A ( 4 ) states I have the right to privacy. ( My privacy has been completely ignored as these companies contact me via phone, Email & mail in order to garner attention to these accounts Also, according to 15 USC 1681 602 Congressional findings and statement of purpose states, There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. It also states 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 undermined public confidence with is essential to the continued function of the banking system. Nothing about the reporting of these late payments are accurate and my privacy has been violated due to XXXX, XXXX, and EQUIFAX violating my consumer rights by allowing these late payments/utilization/chargeoffs to report to my consumer report!
