Complaint:
YOU BROKE THE LAW Pursuant to 15USC 1681 ( A ) ( 1 ). The banking system is dependent upon being fair and accurate. After taking a look at my consumer report, I realized that my report was inaccurate, and this inaccurate report is unfair to me because I was never notified when this inaccurate information was furnished, and I was never notified during your companys initial investigation that you were going to report this information pursuant to 15USC 1681 ( A ) ( 1 ). This grave error has undermined my confidence in your companys procedure, and as a result of this I will no longer be extending credit, and if this information is not removed, I no longer want my information reported in your companys database. Pursuant to 15USC 1681 ( A ) ( 2 ) Your company is a powerless elaborate mechanism. This mishap that your company has caused has ruined my reputation, and it has adversely affected my credit worthiness. Pursuant to 15USC 1681 ( A ) ( 3 ) Your company assumed this role. You were not given expressed permission by me, the consumer, or a competent court of jurisdiction. So, not only did you fail in the initial investigation of this information, but you also assumed this role and assumed this information was valid, which is a violation of my consumer rights. Pursuant to 15USC 1681 ( A ) ( 4 ) You did not insure that this information is accurate and you did not exercise your grave responsibility with fairness and impartiality. You took one side of the story and never consulted with me to find out if this transaction even took place. As a result of this my privacy was breached and this violated my rights to privacy. Pursuant to 15USC 1681A ( D ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) Congress makes it clear that a consumer report should NOT include transactions between the consumer and the person making the report. This alleged transaction that you are reporting and failed to investigate, whether or not it factually took place, can be categorized as a transaction that took place between the consumer and the person making the report. Which means it should not be included in my consumer report, and in fact is a violation of my consumer rights Pursuant to 15USC 1681A ( D ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( iii ) In your initial investigation I was never given the opportunity to deny this information being communicated on my consumer report. This is in fact a violation. Pursuant to 15USC 1681 ( A ) ( B ) Any authorization of a specific extension of credit of a credit card or similar device should be excluded from my consumer report. This alleged transaction that your company clearly did not investigate is categorized as a transaction that was issued from a credit card. Credit card as defined under 15USC 1602 ( i ) ALL Bankruptcy information ref # s XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX currently showing under XXXX XXXX and all variations of my name and social security number is to be PERMANENTLY DELETED, SUPRESSED & REMOVED from all consumer reports immediately.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
