The representative stated that {$25.00} of that amount was a late fee that was agreed to being waived after I had complained about it being added. Therefore the amount to be paid was now {$240.00}. I paid that amount. There should have been no more billing after that payment as my account had been closed for quite some time at the point of that payment. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, continued to bill me with more charges. I disputed this information with the credit bureaus at some point and had these erroneous entries removed from my credit report. Over the course of time I have lost the original billing statement that I had sent in to the credit bureaus to prove that I had paid what I had owed at the time. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sold the account to another debt collector and this falsely reported charge off has been hindering me for years. I even requested billing statements of which the collection agency provided incomplete statements. This collention agency provided statements from XX/XX/2017 and beyond. These are statements that should never have been sent me. When I requested statements from XXXX and XX/XX/2017 I never received a response with that information. Every time that I dispute this information with the credit bureaus, the credit bureaus allow the information to remain and report it as " resolved ''. If they have information to say that I owe a continued debt that I know that I do not owe, then they should be able to provide a statement of what was owed to them as of XX/XX/2017. That is the debt that was paid. I do not owe this company any more money nor should I owe any company that they sold a false debt to.

This legislation created a new offense of identity theft, which prohibits " knowingly transfer [ ring ] or us [ ing ], without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid or abet, any unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of Federal law, or that constitutes a felony under any applicable State or local law. '' 18 U.S.C. 1028 ( a ) ( 7 ). This offense, in most circumstances, carries a maximum term of 15 years ' imprisonment, a fine, and criminal forfeiture of any personal property used or intended to be used to commit the offense.

Schemes to commit identity theft or fraud may also involve violations of other statutes such as identification fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1028 ), credit card fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1029 ), computer fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1030 ), mail fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1341 ), wire fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1343 ), or financial institution fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1344 ). Each of these federal offenses are felonies that carry substantial penalties in some cases, as high as 30 years ' imprisonment, fines, and criminal forfeiture.

Company: FULTON FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NJ)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Fulton Bank regarding their unauthorized sharing of my nonpublic personal information with non-affiliated third parties and consumer reporting agencies. I have taken appropriate steps to exercise my rights under 15 USC 6802 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ) to opt out of such information sharing, and I believe my privacy rights have been violated. 

On XX/XX/2024 I notified Fulton that I am opting out of any and all authorizations, whether written, unwritten, verbal, or non-verbal, for the sharing of my nonpublic personal information with non-affiliate third parties, including consumer reporting agencies, for any purpose other than those necessary to provide me with financial products or services.

I provided this opt-out notice in accordance with the legal requirements outlined in 15 USC 6802 , and I have retained documentation of my communication with the institution. 
Despite my explicit opt-out request and my clear assertion of my rights under the GLBA, I have reason to believe that Fulton Bank has continued to furnish my nonpublic personal information to non-affiliated third parties and consumer reporting agencies without my consent.

This unauthorized sharing of my personal information constitutes a serious violation of my privacy rights and breach of federal law. I am deeply concerned about the potential consequences of this unauthorized sharing including the potential for identity theft, fraud, and other financial harm. 
I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action to ensure that Fulton Bank complies with all federal regulations and laws, including the GLBA to protect the privacy and information security of consumer like me.

Additionally, I would appreciate regular updates of this investigation and any action taken to address the violations committed by Fulton Bank.

I am requesting that these fraudulent items be deleted from my credit report at your earliest convenience. I actually have a security freeze on my accounts which should have alerted me prior to my credit being ran.

These fraudulent items are reporting inaccuracies which is directly impacting my relationships with creditors as I am going through the home buying process. Please investigate these matters and remove the disputed items as soon as possible. In addition, I have attached a PDF document reflecting all items that were found.
