In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act. These accounts XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX- XXXX consumer reporting agency TransUnion below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under the Privacy Act of 1974. The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times of how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Privacy Act of 1974. I acquired my recent credit report and I asked the credit bureaus to make sure everything was complete and accurate according to 12 CFR 1022.41 and 16 CFR 313.7 Form of opt out notice to consumers. 31 CFR 903.5 - Discharge of indebtedness ; reporting requirements.-When an agency discharges a debt in full or in part, further collection action is prohibited. According to the FCRA 1.4.3 Cancellation of Debt and Taxes and 26 CFR 1.6050P-1 - Information reporting for discharges of indebtedness by certain entities In some cases, consumers may be able to negotiate to reduce or eliminate an outstanding debt. Creditors and debt buyers that cancel or forgive a debt ( or portion of a debt ) must file an information Form 1099-C with the Internal Revenue Service by March 31 of the following year, and must also send a copy to the consumer. The principal of a cancelled or forgiven debt is generally considered taxable income to the consumer., although there are several important exceptions, including when the consumer disputes the debt Per 15 USC 1666a Regulation of credit reports, 15 USC 1666b- Timing of payments, 31 CFR 29.518 - Reporting delinquent debts to credit bureaus, 26 U.S. Code 6050P - Returns relating to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain entities. Per the FCRA XXXX XXXX PRIVACY SAYS and 15 U.S. Code 1681a - Definitions ; rules of construction 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report The term consumer report does not include : Any report containing information solely about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the institution making the report. TRANSUNION are not reporting the correct and accurate information to my credit file correctly and there are serious discrepancies with which my account is being reported. I waited 30 days or more since then and received my investigation and noticed everything was still the same the consumer reporting agencies. TranUnion did not remove anything. I have the right to privacy per the privacy act of 1974. The Privacy Act of 1974 is a federal law that governs our collection and use of records we maintain on you in a system of records. A system of records is any grouping of information about an individual under the control of a Federal agency from which information is retrievable by personal identifiers, such as name, social security number, or other identifying number or symbol. Under the Privacy Act, Federal agencies may not disclose information without consent unless certain exceptions apply to the disclosure. The Privacy Act provides protections to individuals from the right to be protected against unwarranted invasion of their privacy resulting from the collection, maintenance, use, and disclosure of their personal information. I Have the right to opt-out of any and all reporting to my report. I was never given a opt-out notice that was clear and conspicuous from TransUnion under 16 CFR 313.7 Form of opt out notice to consumers ; opt out methods. ( a ) ( 1 ) Form of opt out notice. If you are required to provide an opt out notice under 16 CFR 313.10 ( a ), you must provide a clear and conspicuous notice to each of your consumers that accurately explains the right to opt out under that section. The notice must state : ( i ) That you disclose or reserve the right to disclose nonpublic personal information about your consumer to a nonaffiliated third party ; TransUnion have this opt-out option in their available. It also states that they will not share my information with nonaffiliates or affiliates in their contracts. This is my information that they are sharing without my being given the opportunity to opt-out which is with in my right as a consumer. TransUnion as well is taking advantage of me in the same way. Since This charge off is adversely affecting my credit by being reported under the VIOLATION of my rights. reporting incorrect across all 4 credit reporting agencies XXXX, TransUnion, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and TransUnion 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. The date open is not correct, the date last active is not correct, date of last payment is not correct on all 3 reports. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- to have maximum accuracy when reporting to a consumers report. All the reporting agencies are reporting inaccurate dates and amounts on my consumer reports. Some reports have more transactions reporting than others. That wrong as well as the reporting agencies are reporting CO charge off every month which is inaccurate that is re-aging the debt making it seem newer than it is. All late payments must be updates to paid. You can not charge off a debt every month or report late payments by this law that is very inaccurate and TransUnion is re-aging the debt to make it seem as if it happened this month when the certificate of indebtedness, which now means it is income and can no longer report on my credit report without the account status being updated to paid as agreed and all payments and balances be updated to zero under the law. DELETE THESE ACCOUNTS AND UPDATE IMMEDIATELY AND INDEFINITELY It is not reporting correctly as the law says in maximum accuracy per 15 USC 1681c-2 subsection ( b ) Accuracy of report-Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. Which is a violation. This is impacting me from buying a house for my family. I am a single mother being Violated and disregarded and the laws are being disregarded as well. Someone needs to be held accountable for this. This is very frustrating for me TransUnion is not doing their job according to the law. The law clearly states that it is illegal under 15 U.S. Code 1681 to report transactions every month ( 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not includeunder subsection A section 1681s-3 of this title says the TransUnion can not report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; Which mean TransUnion is not allowed to report my transactions from any financial institution without my permission. It is not to be reported on. Transactional history is not to be reported. The C/O that is being reported every month is illegal because you can only charge off an account within the first 6 months according to the FCRA AND 26 CFR 1.6050P-1 - Information reporting for discharges of indebtedness by certain entities because it is a certificate of indebtedness. Once it is charged off or close out is now A certificate if indebtedness which is income.
