Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MN)

According to the FCRA 15 USC 1681 section 602 says that consumer reporting agencies have a responsibility to report fair and accurate information with respect to the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY. My nonpublic personal information is written all over a public report. Equifax is a financial institution per 15 UCS 1681 section 604 which says that any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : " in accordance with written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' Equifax does not have my consent to furnish this information and they absolutely do not have my written consent. The fact that Equifax is ignoring me saying I have a right to privacy that they do not have a right to ignore that and they they continue to violate my rights. Equifax need my consent to furnish information on a consumer report with a likeness to my name any and all consent Equifax in any form ( written, verbal or implied ) is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states " a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless -- the consumer i given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that non disclosure option. '' Equifax never informed me that i had a right to exercise my nondisclosure option. I do not consent to my personal nonpublic information being shared on a public consumer report that anyone with XXXX can obtain. In addition to that 15 USC 1681C says Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : ( 5 ) Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. This account is clearly in adverse action and they are reporting without my permission which is against the law. Now 15 USC 1681s -- 2 ( A ) ( 1 ) states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 USC 1681e says that " Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. '' Equifax is not maintaining reasonable procedures. They are not removing items while they investigate. Oh yeah, 12 CFR 1016.7 states that i can opt out of reporting services at anytime, and i am opting out of any and all debt collectors reporting to my consumer report.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NC)

The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to provide sufficient notice of balance on inactive credit account. This resulted in an unforeseen late report which could've been resolved. I paid the balance and closed the accounts immediately but was unfortunately only notified by a 3rd party credit score monitoring service. I have disputed this report with the bank as well as state and federal agencies. My concern remains that communication to customers from the XXXX XXXX prior to taking credit-impacting action is insufficient. I was only provided a single mailed letter. Being out of town at the time, this was not received for weeks. The XXXX XXXX has an account messaging system that was not used to provide notice. My contact information including accurate email and phone number was not used to provide notice. Engagement to the customer was minimal to the point of negligence. Removal of " late '' status from reporting and my credit history is requested.

It was very difficult to pay my old HOA or even contact them. The HOA changed last year and took over my current amount owed. They immediately tried to collect in a very busy time and before I even knew of the threat of collection they sold my debt to a 3rd party which immediately tacked on XXXX dollars of additional charges for their benefit and threatened a lien against my house. I requested scans or copies of all paperwork with my signature showing I was responsible to their company for these charges on XXXX to which they never responded but are still sending threats of liens and bad credit reporting so that I can't dispute it on my credit report but they can continue to push the process forward in their favor. It is now XXXX and when I called I was left on the phone for 20 minutes and they received a message saying no one is there to take my call, again pushing back my ability to deal with this.

Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request.

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Please review the attached letter. Thank you for your assistance.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
