" 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

I reviewed my consumer report and noticed XXXX late payments currently reporting NEGATIVE on all three credit reporting agencies. I initially reached out to the credit reporting agencies and asked them to remove the late payments or update them as paid as agreed but the did not do this. They stated they would update the account so that it would not show any negati8ve information but it still shows SEVERAL months later. I reached out the XXXX and they stated that my loans have been in good standing since they transferred over in XXXX. I also reached out to the prior servicer of my loans which was XXXX XXXX XXXX and they to stated that my loans are on a XXXX status. Since my loans have been in XXXX status they can not have late payments reported to the credit reporting agencies., Per the Family and Educational act of 1974 I have a right to privacy of my student records.
