They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out.

I am writing to urgently seek your intervention regarding significant and ongoing violations committed by Experian, XXXX, and XXXX. These credit reporting agencies have breached several federal regulations, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), the Privacy Act of 1974, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ). These breaches have severely impacted my credit profile and financial standing.

The specific issues are as follows : 1. Reporting of Inaccurate Information : * My credit reports contain numerous inaccuracies, such as incorrect late payment
records, erroneous account statuses, and inaccurate balances.

* The agencies have failed to update my address, despite my explicit instructions that I have only one address.

* My name appears with multiple variations, although I have provided the correct spelling.

2. Violation of Legal Standards : * According to 15 U
SC 1681, " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' * My right to have accurate and consistent credit reports across all three bureaus has been disregarded.

3. Lack of Response and Rectification : * Despite numerous requests for corrections and updates, the credit reporting agencies have not addressed the inaccuracies.

* I have requested written communication confirming the updates to my profile, but my requests have been ignored. 
These ongoing issues have caused significant distress and financial harm. The inaccuracies on my credit report affect my ability to obtain credit and can lead to higher interest rates or denial of credit, which is both unfair and unlawful. 
I urgently request the CFPB to take the following actions : 1. Investigate the non-compliance of Experian, XXXX, and XXXX with the FCRA, ECOA, Privacy Act of 1974, and GLBA.

2. Ensure that all inaccurate information on my credit reports is corrected promptly.
