State: TN
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, a credit union made a hard inquiry on my credit report. This was a mistake, as I did not give them consent to do so. I immediately contacted them, and they said they would try to have it removed. I also disputed the inquiry with Equifax. Equifax immediately denied the dispute. The credit union has tried to remove the inquiry ( with much difficulty ), and at their direction I again disputed the inquiry in XXXX ( which was again immediately denied ). The credit union notified me on XX/XX/XXXX that they did not see it appearing on their end any more. However, I checked my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX, and the inquiry is still there.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I mailed letters to this company informing them that I was writing to request deletion of certain student loans from my credit report as provided for under federal law, specifically 15USC 1681b ( a ) ( c ). I believe that the inclusion of these student loans on my credit report is in violation of the law, and I kindly request your assistance in rectifying this matter. As you are aware, 15USC 1681b ( a ) ( c ) mandates that consumer reporting agencies, such as yours, must ensure the accuracy and fairness of the information they include in credit reports. According to my understanding of the law, certain student loans should be exempt from reporting after a certain period of time, provided they meet the necessary criteria outlined in the statute. After conducting a thorough review of my credit report, I identified the student loans that I believe should no longer be included and NOTHING WAS DONE

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I applied online to open a savings account with XXXX Bank. I entered the requested information in the first step of the application process and was denied and unable to advance to the second step of the application. I immediately contacted the company and spoke to a customer service agent to inquire about my denial. The agent said that based on the information I submitted in the application they were unable to open an account for me, and there was no additional information they could provide me as to why. I asked to speak to a manager, to which the agent responded there was no one available for me to speak to at that time, as managers were out of town training. After contacting XXXX and receiving a report that displayed no negative or derogatory information in my file, I called XXXX XXXX again on XX/XX/XXXX and requested to know what consumer reporting agency was used to make their decision. After saying that by law, I had a right to know, the agent said XXXX was the company they used. I've yet to receive a verbal or written reason as to what information in my application caused the denial.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Your corporation has been requiring and demanding the unlawful use of Federal Reserve Notes also known as Floating Rate Notes ( debt notes ) as payment, when in fact, the submitted application used to open the account, with access and use of my personal and private financial information ( SSN, social security card, which is an open-ended credit card pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1602 ( l ) along with my signature ) served as a financial asset, promissory note and security which in fact satisfies each monthly obligation pursuant to 12 CFR 360.6 ( 2 ) as well the application being self-liquidating paper pursuant to 17 CFR 260.11b-6. This is considered an unauthorized use since I have received NO BENEFIT. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 8, all coupons, bills, certificates of indebtness, both public and private used for personal, family and household use are the obligation of the United States. This will also serve as Notice of breach of fiduciary duty ( U.C.C. 3-307 ). Following this notice if said financial assets are not either returned to the referenced creditor/bailor/beneficiary via mail within Fifteen ( 15 ) business days or accepted for its intended purpose within Fifteen ( 15 ) business days of the receipt of this notice, an SEC complaint will be filed pursuant to 17 CFR 240.15c1-2 and 17 CFR 240.10b-5. As well as an IRS complaint for abusive tax schemes involving the SEC filed trust arrangement for breach of securities and securities fraud.

Pursuant to U.C.C. 9-210, I am requesting a full audit of the account. Additionally, pursuant to Article 1 Section 10 Clause 1 of the United States Constitution, only gold and silver, being the only lawful money of the United States of America, can lawfully discharge a debt. The use of Federal Reserve Note is unlawful and can not.

Furthermore, I have noticed that you have been redeeming the remittance coupons/instrument as a non-cash item ( 12 CFR 210.2 ( k ) / ( 12 CFR 229.2 ( u ) ( 4 ). Pursuant to 15 U.S Code 1691 ( C ) and you assume civil liability pursuant to 15 U.S Code 1691 ( K ). By use of coercion and fraud, your corporation knowingly and willingly violated my federally protected rights.

Pursuant to the aforementioned codes, I demand all credits be returned on all remittances/coupons at the inception of the accounts. Balance will be zeroed out on a monthly basis via special deposit of the interest-bearing coupons associated on the itemization statement. 

This is your opportunity to cure as well as your notice of default for the servicing of my account. You meaning XXXX  XXXX, XXXX. and any of its other agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, assignees, etc. may NOT contact me by any means other than written correspondence. Failure to comply will result in legal action.
