There is an account on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX with the account number : XXXX. 
I have not received any goods or services from this company. I have never done any business with this company. This company has illegally obtained my Nonpublic Personal Information. For example, my name, social security number, and date of birth. Only a signed contract between I the consumer and XXXX XXXX would make me legally bonded to any debt that they may claim. I have never provided any wet signature or Nonpublic Personal Information to this company on any agreement. 

I have not received any Debt Validation Notice from XXXX XXXX as they were lawfully required to per FDCPA laws. 
Therefore, I was not rightfully able to dispute this account before they unlawfully caused harm to my consumer report. This is a request for proof of delivery or receipt that XXXX has sent a Debt Validation Notice to I the consumer. Written and verbal communication directed via FDCPA was not provided to I the consumer ; allowing me to properly dispute this invalidated debt.

I had to leave the US sooner than planned and move back to XXXX. I had my savings from my year of working in the US in a Marcus by Goldman Sachs savings account. Upon returning to XXXX, I was awaiting the return of my rental security deposit before transferring all my funds from US bank accounts to my XXXX institutions. 

Once this deposit was returned, I attempted to transfer my Marcus by GS balance ( ~ $ XXXX ) to my ( directly linked and previously used ) XXXX  account so I could then transfer to XXXX. After a few days, the funds had not moved. I checked my Marcus app and the transfer had been reversed. I asked Marcus support what happened and they told me a hold had been placed on my account ( with no communication to me ). 

I called Marcus to resolve this. As I had left the US, I no longer had my US telephone number and Marcus do not have suitable alternative verification methods. They are now withholding my funds from me with zero detail on how I can get them back. The latest interaction finished with me being told to call them back in 1-3 business days to see if there are new instructions.

I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, XXXX has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. 

Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. 

I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. 

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. 
The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. 

I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.

I, XXXX XXXX XXXX federally protected consumer, has placed numerous complaints with Equifax , Inc throughout the year via CFPB about the inaccurate reporting of non-public information. As a federally protected consumer, I have a right to privacy. The continuous sharing of inaccurate, non-public information to my consumer credit report without my expressed written consent to my consumer credit report has been ruining my reputation. 
I would like to be clear my dispute is not about verification and/or ownership of the account. It is about the sharing of my non public, personal information to my consumer report. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act states that it is illegal to have a consumer report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ( FCRA Sec 603 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) ) Please See Attached Documents which include the following : Exhibit A : Affidavit of Truth/ Cease and Desist Opt Out Confirmation ( s ) Passport Card ( Identification ) CAF Notice, Power Of Attorney, Fee Schedule
