Dear XXXX, I am writing to formally dispute the actions of several accounts that have violated my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The specific accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX In accordance with the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681, I believe my rights have been violated in the following ways : Right to Privacy : As stated in 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 ( a ), I have the right to privacy regarding my credit information. These accounts have failed to uphold this right, as my personal credit information has been mishandled or improperly disclosed.

Failure to Obtain Written Instructions : According to 15 U.S.C. 1681b section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency is prohibited from furnishing a credit report without my written instructions. Each of the above-listed accounts has reported information about my credit without obtaining my explicit written permission, thereby violating this provision of the FCRA.

These actions have caused me significant distress and have potentially impacted my financial standing. I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau conduct a thorough investigation into these violations and take appropriate measures to ensure that these companies comply with the FCRA.

Enclosed with this letter, you will find copies of relevant documentation supporting my claim, including credit reports and correspondence with the aforementioned companies.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a resolution that ensures my rights are protected under the FCRA. Should you require any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at the above-listed contact information.

I recently received a response from Equifax that was issued by them on ( date Equifax sent the letter ) that they received my dispute but they would not process it because they are assuming it is from a 3rd party.
