Consumer complaint received 2023-12-12
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

I have disputed multiple times this year for the published narrative from my consumer reports from the companies XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX, and from all 3 Credit Bureaus XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax but they fail to provide with adequate verifiable information. 

According to the FCRA 15USC1681 section 602A it states " There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information is not shared. This is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' 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. It is also backed by15 USC 1681 section 604 A Section 2 stating " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. The Consumer reporting agencies XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Furthermore, any and all consent to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise, is revoked immediately and indefinitely. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. ' I was never informed of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that, 15 USC 1681 C ( A ) ( 5 ) states '' 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. '' These accounts are an adverse item and are being reported again without my permission, which is against the law. Furthermore, 15 U.S Code 1681S2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " 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 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. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, Equifax and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services. Identity theft means a fraud committed or attempted using the identifying information of another person without authority. Anything being added to the credit report without my written consent could be considered Identity theft .15 U.S. Code 1681c2 - Block of information resulting from identity theft Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. This is my fourth request to all parties and they are ignoring the law.
