As it relates to confidentiality, accuracy, relevance and appropriate use of such information, Congress requires you to develop reasonable processes for addressing the needs of commerce in a way that is fair and just to me. You have violated my right to PRIVACY which is a direct violation of the FCRA and the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX! I did not consent or authorize for you, or the people mentioned in my attached documents to use or share my non public info info. No consent or authorization is IDENTITY THEFT which i demand to Cease and Desist! Pursuant to 15 usc 1681a ( 2 ) congress makes it very clear that a consumer report does not contain any transactions or experiences. As a result I am demanding for the following transactions and or experiences to be updated in accorance with my following instructions I noticed this problem on XX/XX/XXXX ATTN : XXXX, EQUIFAX, XXXX Accounts : Account name : XXXX XXXX When the account was opened : XX/XX/XXXX Account balance : {$4900.00} Inquiries : Inquiry name : XXXX  Inquiry date : XXXX XXXX Inquiry name : XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Inquiry name : XXXX XXXX  Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Inquiry name : XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Inquiry name : XXXX XXXX Inquiry date : XX/XX/XXXX Pursuant to 15 USC is 1681c-2 ( a ) you have 4 days from the date of this notice ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to comply with my demands in the text above.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email that XXXX lowered my limit on my XXXX credit card from {$5500.00} to {$3300.00}. I rarely use the card and most often remains at a {$0.00} balance, but had just recently made some purchases, of which is being paid off within the next 30 days anyhow, however, the limit they lowered it to was barely over the new current balance. The statement period then ended a few days later ( statement period ended XX/XX/XXXX ) and a small interest charge then applied, but my balance was still below the new reduced limit of {$3300.00} ( with the new interest charges, the balance was {$3300.00} ). Aside from the fact the lowering of the limit then lowered my score by XXXX points ( lets note how absolutely counter productive that is to lower a limit due to a random score review simply because a card is used, to which then only causes the score to lower more! ), I then received an alert today XX/XX/XXXX that my score was lowered even more because they were reporting my card limit as {$3300.00}, not {$3300.00}, and with the new balance as of statement end date of XX/XX/XXXX being {$3300.00} it was reporting as over my limit to which then caused my score to drop an additional XXXX points!!! So not only did lowering my limit for no true cause my score to lower, but now XXXX is inaccurately reporting my limit as even lower AND that I am over my limit!! Which is absolutely untrue!! So this is either fraud or incompetence, either way needs to immediately be corrected. This has impacted a home refinance I am currently undergoing and if it does not go through due to this, my next stop is an attorney! Note : Ive had this same card with the same limit for over 6 years, never been late, rarely carry a balance and almost always pay in full within XXXX months XXXX. None of this recent actions are justified.

Complaint:
Hello, Experian has failed to abide by the FCRA rules and regulations and is in violation of protecting my consumer file from being subjected to denial of employment, loans and credit lines. 

Experian has been reporting a negative account on my credit file for 2 years that has been in dispute. The account reads XXXX Acct # XXXX. Balance of {$10000.00}. 

Experian has updated this account as certified as accurate. According to the FCRA all credit bureau have to assure that the reported information is 100 % accurate and verified or removal is a must. 

On XX/XX/XXXX Experian updated this account as certified as accurate. On XX/XX/XXXX this account was removed for not being accurate and verified. This account was then placed back on my report XX/XX/XXXX as verified and had been being updated as certified and verified every month thereafter. 

Unfortunately, this account was not verified for 100 % accurate by Experian, they have been failing me as a consumer and have been effecting my employment and loan results. 

On XX/XX/XXXX my dispute results were updated as the account being verified and verified that the information is accurate. 

Experian has been allowing the above account to report a debt being owed in the amount of {$10000.00} that is listed as charged off multiple times. 

They have allowed this company to report the debt as charged off Charge Off as of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. How can one account be charged off this many times??? 

Experian has failed to verified this accounts 100 % accuracy and has been continually been reporting this in accurate information after the many disputes I have put in and has not been protecting me as a consumer. They are in violation of the FCRA and this information is also being sent to FTC and the attorney general for unfair credit reporting practices. I have attached how Experian has been reporting this in accurate unverified debt.

Complaint:
The complaint is in reference the accounts of : XXXX XXXX XXXX which was closed XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$3600.00} and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account for {$3100.00} I had could not keep that account open during COVD and could not make any payments. I continued to recieve calls and letters from the company even after i had expressed my situation. This was removed from my credit report and XXXX XXXX showed up with a different balance. I disputed this not knowing what it was and then XXXX Bank showed back up on my credit reports again along with XXXX credit that would not quit sending me letters until i had a 3rd party send a response. XXXX XXXX had was not reporting to all 3 bureaus until it was disputed and removed and now they are reporting again. 

According to the law, my credit is supposed to be private I did not give either one of these companies permission to put this information on my credit and had a third party send a letter accordingly. The both reported that they meet the fair credit reporting act with no other response.

[ 15 U.S.C. 1681 ] States I have the right to privacy 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 undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

15 U.S. Code 1692c - Communication in connection with debt collection c ) Ceasing communication If a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the consumer refuses to pay a debt or that the consumer wishes the debt collector to cease further communication with the consumer, the debt collector shall not communicate further with the consumer with respect to such debt, except XXXX XXXX was in communication with me and 3rd party letters when they sold this debt to XXXX. 

Again, i have given neither one of them permission verbal or written to share my information. All of my information and the letters of communication they sent is with Dispute my client. I forwarded it all to them, but they only work on things for 1yr. Meanwhile i still received calls from both of these companies but declined to answer. 
I can have all of these letters sent to you if needed, I can also pull my XXXX accounts from the last 2 years if needed. 
XXXX XXXX also shows on my Experian report that I went from a {$3100.00} balance in XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX $ balance in XX/XX/XXXX. This is different from the other reports and different from the last time they reported.
