Complaint:
Around XXXX of XXXX, upon receipt of my credit report I discovered this unlawful bankruptcy on my credit profile that was intentionally placed there by XXXX. XXXX then sold my private information with a public record attached to it, to XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion without my consent. This was done with malicious intent to damage my credit, my credit profile, my character, and causing me financial harm intentionally, including charging high interest rates which fatten their profits. Because of this, I can not relocate to a new home, or obtain credit to have a decent living mode. I can not obtain work without being asked embarrassing questions and struggling to make ends meet. XXXX owners/employees admitted soliciting this information from XXXX, and selling this information to other agencies and companies for profit, without my consent. In addition, I have already disputed the errors of my personal information to Transunion, yet they are still reporting inaccuracies after I provided identiting documents with the correct information. Also I have evidence of identity theft including highlighted accounts that clearly show multiple violations that must be removed immediately, according to the law. I also have inquiries attached to accounts that I 'Do not recall ' opening up that have been done fraudulently through the use of my identity. 

The credit bureaus violated my given rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681.

According to : 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 A. States I have a right to privacy.

If I did give them my consent, they must provide me with a certified copy, sworn and signed and notarized before a public notary of a county clerk officer.

According to : 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a ccount without my written instructions.

According to : 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumer 's credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer.
