According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) Congress has determined that " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. Experian is a reporting agency and I am the consumer, it is my right as a Consumer to ensure that my private information isn't shared. 
My right to protect my privacy is upheld by Congress under 15 USC 6801 which states clearly, " It is the policy of the 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. '' Experian does not have any written instructions from me nor do they have my expressed written consent to furnish my consumer report.

15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states that 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. Experian continues to report a bankruptcy on my credit report this bankruptcy is an adverse item which they continue to report without my permission and in spite of being receiving a letter from the clerk of court that states the court does not report to the credit reporting agencies which is against the law.

15 U.S. Code 1681 s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) states clearly that " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate '' 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( e ) ( a ) states " Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title.

My letters have written and generated using accessible software that is available to everyone. If you choose not to process or address my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i.

I am the sole author of any letters bearing my name, or they have been written by my advisors with my complete knowledge and consent. I understand that there is no requirement for you to request a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing consumer letters. If you fail to process my letters promptly, I will consider it as a deliberate disregard for my consumer rights. In such a case, I will be compelled to contact my attorney and pursue legal action.

I, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ). 

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors. 

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

I am also placing a FTC reference number- # XXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. 

Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

Company: Credence Resource Management, LLC (NY)

Desperately trying to fix my credit, as a college student with very little money. I ordered my credit reports and learned that I had collections that were being re-aged. I decided to contact the collection agencies for clarification on the date of last activity ( not validation and verification ). They were reluctant to assist me, I called the original creditors and I received the date of last activity. When I compared it what was written on my credit report I realized that the dates were off by years. Credence Resource Management insisted that the dates were correct despite having the date of activity from the original creditors. 

Credence Resource Management is the collection agency for XXXX now owned by XXXX. When I called XXXX I was told the last activity date when the Account Became Delinquent was XX/XX/XXXX. As evidence by the phone recording with XXXX, ( I live in a XXXX party consent state- New York ) XXXX However Credence Resource Management is reporting the last date of activity as XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX. According to Fair Credit Reporting Act { FCRA } If you are a debt collector furnishing information to a CRA about the accounts of a creditor, you must report the date of delinquency given to you by the CREDITOR FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) This " date of delinquency '' determines how long the debt can be reported on a consumer 's credit report. Generally, a CRA may report a delinquent debt for seven years from the date of delinquency. If the debt was discharged in bankruptcy, however, a CRA may report it for 10 years. I have never had a bankruptcy. 

CREDENCE RM ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Date Last Active : XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Recording According to the agent at XXXX in the recording she states at XXXX that the account was passed due for XXXX  days in the amount of {$460.00} since XX/XX/XXXX ( this is the date of last payment or the delinquent ). However Credence Resource Management has listed the date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX. This is re-aging of the alleged debt and illegal according to Fair Credit Reporting Act { FCRA }, you must report the date of delinquency given to you by the CREDITOR FCRA 623 ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ).

In XXXX of 2023 I sent Experian, XXXX, and XXXX the following complaint. 

" I have suffered identity, theft, and fraud. I never consented to the following accounts, or have any recollection of any transactions. Please BLOCK and remove all fraud within four days as pursuant to the FCRA. Please exercise your grave responsibility to ensure that my privacy is respected and honored. '' The XXXX account was blocked and then rescinded with no lawful authority to do so. 
Pursuant to Title 15 USC 1681 c-2, the following consumer reporting agencies only have the lawful authority to rescind or decline to block under the following conditions.

15 USC 1681c-2 ( c ) ( 3 ) - Significance of block. For purposes of this subsection, if a consumer reporting agency rescinds a block, the presence of information in the file of a consumer prior to the blocking of such information is not evidence of whether the consumer knew or should have known that the consumer obtained possession of any goods, services, or money as a result of the block. 


SO WHAT NEW INFORMATION DID YOU RECEIVE THAT WOULD GRANT YOU AUTHORITY TO RESCIND MY BLOCK!!!

XXXX continues to report the consolidated loans to the credit bureaus, while the loans are continuing to accrue interest and the balances continue to increase which is negatively impacting my credit scores and credit profiles. My latest credit bureau reports state that the balances on that consolidated loan balance has increased again. That solely decreased my credit score.

Here is what the US. Department of Education is saying about forbearance and interest on borrower defense approvals.

" Title 34, Subtitle B, Chapter VI, Part 685, Subpart D, Section 685.406 ( 1 ) Approval of a Borrower Defense Claim. If the Secretary approves the borrower defense claim ( i ) The written decision states the Secretary 's determination and the relief provided as defined in 685.401 on the basis of that claim.

( ii ) The Secretary places a borrower 's Direct Loans associated with a group borrower defense claim into forbearance until the Secretary discharges the loan obligations under 685.212 ( k ). If any balance remains on the Direct Loans not associated with the borrower defense claim, those loans will return to their status prior to the claim process. The Secretary resumes collection activities on those Direct Loans not associated with the borrower defense claim no earlier than 90 days from the date the Department official issues a written decision. No interest will be charged on the loans during the forbearance period. " Those consolidated loans are a part of the Borrower Defense to Repayment approved application and they are supposed to be discharged and the tradelines deleted from my credit profiles. While in forbearance and awaiting discharge they should not be accruing interest. Why is interest still accruing?
