" 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 inquiries I didn't consent to and personal information 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 never consented to these inquiries and did not provide written consent to report them List all inquiries : Here is the personal information that I never consented to or provided written consent to report : List all personal information want deleted :. 
Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that I authorized or consented to these inquiries or personal information and proof that I authorized the reporting of this information. If proof can not be provided I demand these inquiries and personal information be deleted. 
Adjust accordingly if there is no inquiries or personal information to be deleted "

Issue: Improper use of your report — Received unsolicited financial product or insurance offers after opting out
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

We applied for mortgage loan through bank. Experian either sold or provided personal information to other lenders without my knowledge or consent for marketing purposes. Ive received 37 calls in 2 days to my place of employment from other banks and mortgage companies trying to offer their services. Majority of them stating my information was provided by Experian. This has now become a nuisance at my place of employment. Ive requested to be removed from their marketing calls, but they fail to do so. Experian should not be providing my employment contact information to 3rd parties not authorized to view my credit report.

Ive been in communications with ( XXXX, Equifax or XXXX ) about inaccurate personal information on my credit report. Even after notifying them many times about this error they still continue to report this incorrect personal information on my file. Not only is it unfair, its also illegal. By law 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( b ) it clearly states that your reporting agency must follow these Reasonable procedures : require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance. This whole thing is unfair. This has been stopping me from being able to move forward in my life because of this inaccurate information being reported on my credit report. I have told ( XXXX, Equifax or XXXX ) many times I do not consent to the inaccurate personal information listed below to be reported on my consumer report.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (WI)

XXXX XXXX and all 3 credit bureaus have failed to remove a late payment from XX/XX/year> from my reports despite constant contact and attempts made by me to have it removed. XXXX XXXX has an automated system set up so that it will automatically deposit and withdraw money to/from an account which will then withdraw and deposit money into another account that is connected to a credit line designed to help build credit. 

The account records show that the accounts not only failed to even attempt to withdraw and deposit for XXXX payment, but then had a delayed deposit/withdrawal on a second payment as well. Due to the system failing to operate as it was supposed to, I am not liable for damages. Once I realized what had happened, I promptly ensured the account was current and contacted XXXX XXXX to advise them of the system and account issue. XXXX XXXX and all three Credit Bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) have been unhelpful in solving this issue and removing the late status from my reports. There has been a couple times where the credit bureaus have removed the late history before readding it later on and a few times where the credit bureaus have failed to send dispute reports. This has gone on for around 8 months now, which is an extraordinarily long time for something as simple as a system error causing a {$10.00} payment to be made late.

It appears again that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA, you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

recently obtained a copy of my credit report and discovered several accounts listed in collections that do not belong to me. To address this issue, I promptly sent a written dispute letter to the consumer reporting agency requesting them to validate the accounts in question. Despite my adherence to the proper dispute process and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the consumer reporting agency failed to respond within the 30-day period required by law.

The presence of these erroneous collection accounts on my credit report has significantly impacted my credit score and has caused undue stress and potential financial harm. As a consumer, I am entitled to accurate information on my credit report and prompt resolution of disputes.
