For the past few months, I have tried to correct and fix my credit reports, which non-responses or cliche responses from the credit bureau. Because of the credit bureaus failure in responses and corrective actions, it has caused harm towards me and my family financially. I am sending this complaint to exercise my rights to fair credit reporting, pursuant to 15 USC 1681. XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion are credit reporting business agencies, who have the duty to protect consumers privacy. According to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy, it states that credit reporting agencies have a duty to protect the privacy of student education records, also pursuant to 20 USC 1232g ( b ). Furthermore, according to 15 USC 6801, it states is the policy of Congress that each financial institution ( to include, banks, credit agencies, governmental agencies i.e child support ), courts, etc ), has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its consumers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those consumers nonpublic personal information. Current policies further state, that the credit report should only show credit transactions, which exclude judgements, liens, and loans that can not be classified, on the basis of a contract. Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c, pursuant to 15 USC 1681e. XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX are failing to uphold these laws, and in that are causing harm, violating my protection of due privacy. Their actions have violated federal laws in accordance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to proclaim an adverse action against the consumer, pursuant to 15 USC 1691 ( C ). They have further violated my rights, pursuant to 15 USC 1642, 15 USC 1681M and 12 CFR 1002. Each Bureau will assume civil liability pursuant to 15 USC 1691 ( K ). These agencies do not have my consent to furnish this information on my credit report, and thus, I opt-out of any of information that has caused me harm from being reported on my credit report, pursuant to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ). The reporting of student loans, child support, and inaccurate information has led to adverse actions against me, causing financial harm and personal harm to me and my family.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.
