Please remove all un mailable addresses.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681, Section 602 ), there is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their significant responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. Equifax and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies, and I am the consumer. I have the right to ensure my private information is not shared, as backed by 15 USC 6801, which states : " It is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' A furnisher of information to credit agencies is defined as a financial institution under this title.

According to 15 USC 1681, Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), " any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' Neither Equifax, XXXX, nor the furnisher of information to credit agencies have my consent to furnish this information, and they certainly do not have my written consent. Therefore, any consent previously given, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is hereby revoked.

Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' The furnisher of information to credit agencies never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option.

Additionally, 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) states : " Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : 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 an adverse item being reported without my permission.

I am disappointed to have received a credit report that contains inaccurate information about me. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it is my right to dispute any information that I believe to be incorrect. I take this matter very seriously and I am deeply concerned that these false allegations of delinquency and derogatory information could harm my reputation and financial well-being. 

Although I am fighting back with all my strength, I need your cooperation to resolve this issue. I kindly request you to provide evidence that justifies why my accounts are considered to be in a negative state. It is my understanding that any data included in my file must be documented and validated before it can be used by creditors, as mandated by the law. However, it appears that your records are not meeting these standards. 

I feel let down that you are not doing your job properly, and I am concerned about the potential consequences that this could have on my creditworthiness. Therefore, I am giving you 30 days from now to address this matter and provide me with physical proof of your actions and my updated credit report. 

I hope that everything can be resolved in a timely manner without the need for intervention or escalation. Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim, as the allegations against me are not true. I am deeply disappointed to have to dispute these claims, but I will not let inaccurate information harm my financial well-being.
