Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 
The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

Company: URS Holding, LLC (CA)

XXXX XXXX, by and through its current collection agency, ERS, will not respond to my requests for documentation to prove the amounts owed on loans which have - largely and likely - been paid. Every time I ask XXXX XXXX for information, they simply change collection agencies and the process begins all over again. I have requested very specific information and have requested communications in writing ( since prior discussions and promises are unrecorded and unenforceable - in addition, there is no recording of tone or threats of the collection agents ) and have received NOTHING. However, recently, ERS has continued to report negative information on my credit report resulting in a XXXX point drop to my FICO score. 
Specifically, the information that has been requested in evidence of receipt of a payment made on my student loans in the amount of ( approx. ) {$19000.00} which has not been credited towards any amount owed. I have also requested evidence of authorization and/or ownership of the loan so I can determine whether or not the ( now ) XXXX agency handling my account has to proper authority and, in addition, I seek clarification of who owns the loans. It appears to continue to be XXXX XXXX, but they have failed to credit the near {$20000.00} they received on my loan. In short, they are seeking double recovery. 
Each time a new collections agency is involved, I get a letter requesting written confirmation if a dispute is being made as to the amounts owed. Each time I dispute the debt in writing and request information, my requests are ignored. 
The prior agency, XXXX XXXX, simply walked away from their efforts. The new agency, ERS, is choosing not to communicate with me, but simply engage in negative reporting on my credit. This complaint is linked to XXXX other complaints - all against the same efforts and same " owner '' ( I think ) - XXXX XXXX and its collection agency of the day.

Company: Self Financial Inc. (MO)

Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Missouri Laws Dear XXXX I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and Missouri state laws pertaining to identity theft and consumer protection. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that XXXX has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law provides protection against identity theft and unauthorized use of personal information, including the misuse of credit reporting data. Missouris Identity Theft Law ( XXXX XXXX ) criminalizes the unauthorized use of personal identifying information, and failure to comply with such protections may also be considered a violation of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act ( XXXX XXXX ), which addresses unfair and deceptive business practices. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for ATLCAPBKSELF to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and a clear disregard for both federal and state laws. 

I demand that XXXX immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouris Identity Theft Law. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable federal and state laws, including Missouris statutes on identity theft and consumer fraud. 

Obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that XXXX will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
