Subject : Formal Complaint and Request for Correction under the Fair Credit Reporting Act Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of certain information contained in my credit report and to address multiple violations of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other related laws. 

1. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : I have disputed several inaccuracies on my credit report which have been returned as verified without providing the necessary procedures and evidence used in the verification process. This is a direct violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates that credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed information and provide the consumer with the results of the investigation, including the method used for verification.

2. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681a ) : According to 15 U.S.C. 1681a, a consumer report should exclude information that solely pertains to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the institution making the report. My credit report contains such information, which should not have been included as per this regulation. 
3. Violation of the Privacy Act of 1974 : The inclusion of nonpublic personal information in my credit report without my consent violates the Privacy Act of 1974, which ensures the protection and confidentiality of individual records maintained by federal agencies.

4. Violation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( 15 U.S.C. 6801, 6802, and 6803 ) : 15 U.S.C. 6801 : Financial institutions are obligated to respect the privacy of their customers and to protect

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MD XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Dear CFPB, Subject : Complaint Regarding Charged-Off Accounts I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a charged-off account that are affecting my credit report and financial standing. The details of these accounts are as follows : XXXX XXXX Account # ending # XXXX XXXX XXXX has charged off this account. Once your debt is sold to a third-party debt collector or considered charged off, it becomes a certificate of indebtedness. This means that it is now considered income and can not be reported to your credit report. It is important to have these accounts removed immediately.

I have also previously sent a letter to this company three months ago, stating that I am exercising my right to opt out of their reporting of these accounts, as per 16 CFR 313.7 ( f ) and 15 USC 6802 According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, section 602 ( a ) of 15 USC 1681 states that consumer reporting agencies must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. 
XXXX and Experian are consumer reporting agencies, and as the consumer, I have the right to ensure that my private information is not shared. This right is supported by 15 USC 6801, which states that financial institutions have an obligation to respect the privacy of their customers and protect the security and confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information. The furnisher of information to credit agencies is considered a financial institution under this definition.

Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) of 15 USC 1681 states that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. Neither the financial institution nor the consumer reporting agencies, XXXX and Experian, have my consent to furnish this information, and they certainly do not have my written consent. Any previous consent given to XXXX, Experian, or the furnisher of information to credit agencies, whether it was verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is now revoked.

The Furnisher of Information to credit agencies did not inform me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, which is in violation of 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ). Additionally, the Account that is being reported by them is an adverse item without my permission, which is against the law according to 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ). XXXX and Experian are not maintaining reasonable procedures as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A and 15 U.S. Code 1681e. Furthermore, as stated in 12 CFR 1016.7, I am opting out of their reporting services. 

Thank you XXXX XXXX

My account with ( XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. 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 sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MD)

I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding Experian 's handling of my previous complaint ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a formal complaint to Experian, requesting the method of verification for the public records reported on my consumer credit file. This request was made in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ), which mandates that a consumer reporting agency must provide a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information. 

Experian acknowledged receipt of my request and indicated that the investigation would be completed within 30 days. However, despite this assurance, I have not received any further updates from Experian regarding the status or outcome of their investigation. This lack of response is in direct violation of the consumer protection provisions outlined in the FCRA. 

I am deeply concerned about Experian 's apparent disregard for the obligations imposed upon them by federal law. This negligence not only affects my credit standing but also undermines the trust that consumers should be able to place in credit reporting agencies. Therefore, I am requesting that the CFPB take appropriate actions within its power to address this issue. Specifically, I urge the CFPB to : 1. Investigate Experian 's failure to provide the method of verification within the legally mandated timeframe. 
2. Sanction Experian for their non-compliance with the FCRA, thereby reinforcing the importance of consumer protections. 
3. Ensure that Experian provides the requested information without further delay. 
4. Mandate that Experian immediately remove the disputed public records from my consumer credit file due to their failure to provide the method of verification as required by law. 

I have attached copies of my ID and a letter from the US Bankruptcy court stating they do not report, verify, or validate public records on consumer credit reports. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated, as it is imperative that consumers ' rights are upheld and that credit reporting agencies are held accountable for their obligations. 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. I look forward to your response and to the resolution of this issue.
