Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc. (MO)

Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Missouri Laws I am writing to address blatant violations regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and Missouri identity theft laws, specifically Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 570, Section 570.223. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that ( company name ) has already engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law, specifically Section 570.223 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, underscores the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information. This statute addresses identity theft and fraud, making it clear that unauthorized use of someone's personal information is illegal and subject to severe penalties. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for ( company name ) to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that ( company name ) immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Section 570.223 of the Missouri Revised Statutes. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that ( company name ) will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I am lodging a formal complaint to express my concerns regarding the egregious infringements on my rights as a consumer by XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX. These entities are blatantly flouting the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ) and other pertinent laws.

Under 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ), it unequivocally states that consumer reporting agencies must fulfill their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and reverence for the consumer 's right to privacy. However, the actions of XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX starkly contradict this mandate. As a consumer, I possess the unequivocal right, safeguarded by 15 USC 6801, to ensure that my private information is not shared without my explicit consent.

Furthermore, as per 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are permitted to furnish a consumer report solely in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. I want to emphasize that neither the financial institution ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) nor the consumer reporting agencies possess my consent to furnish this information, and they decidedly lack my written approval.

The failure to apprise me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, as required by 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), constitutes a blatant violation of the law. Additionally, the reporting of adverse information without my permission, as outlined in 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), is illegal.

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( a ) ( 1 ) explicitly prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. XXXX and XXXX are failing egregiously to uphold reasonable procedures to avoid violations of Section 1681c and to restrict the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes authorized under Section 1681b.

To compound matters, the neglect to inform me of my right to opt-out, as mandated by 12 CFR 1016.7, accentuates a complete disregard for consumer rights. I am hereby formally exercising my right to opt out of any adverse reporting to my consumer report.

Under 15 USC 1681c ( f ) and relevant statutes, I have explicitly requested that adverse information concerning my credit history or any other consumer reports be excluded from reporting to third parties. This opt-out request is effective immediately, and I expect compliance with this directive.
