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 account listed without my expressed written consent. 

Also, I was never disclosed of ALL three of my Opt-Out disclosures which states a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party under 15 U.S. Code 6802 unless all three disclosures were satisfied but they were not.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

Dear Experian, I'm responding to the confirmed no change letter I received about the charge-off account mentioned on my credit report. 

Creditor : XXXX XXXX Account : XXXX I adhered to your guidance by reaching out to the organization accountable for the incorrect charge-off account listed on my credit report. Nevertheless, despite my endeavors, the entity providing the information failed to reply to my questions. 

This account 's charge-off status clearly seems incorrect since the creditor has not presented valid evidence to support its legitimacy. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), creditors must be able to prove the accuracy of an account before reporting it to the credit bureaus, and in this case, they have failed to do so. Experian is also reporting this account CO CO Charge off every month which is updating the Statue of Limitations and reaging my account which is illegal Could you please ensure the timely removal of this item from my credit report? Not doing so would breach the FCRA regulations. 

I appreciate your focus on this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
