I have NOT provided XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ANY written consent to publish my information. XXXX XXXX XXXX is in violation of 15 USC 1681 b and c because they are improperly using my consumer report and not meeting information requirement standards in regards to adverse information. In fact XXXX XXXX XXXX is committing identity theft as defined by 12 CFR 1022.3 because they are using my personal information without authority to do so or my consent. By using my personal information without my written consent they are in violation of 5 USC 552a. I have no contract with them and I have never done business with them. I did contact them requesting information to validate the accounts, and provide the original contracts and they have not done so. I have also received notices from 3rd parties which claim to have gotten my information from XXXX XXXX XXXX which is another violation of 15 USC 1681. XXXX XXXX XXXX reports information on accounts XXXX and XXXX I cant verify to Experian, XXXX, and XXXX because they have reported inconsistent data across all 3 of these reporting agencies. I have never paid them anything ( because I do not owe them ) yet they have reported I made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX and that my account is both open and closed. They have been reporting inaccurate information since XX/XX/XXXX and are in violation of 12 CFR 1016.1 as I have received NO OPT out notices. These discrepancies also show that Experian, XXXX, and XXXX are in violation of 15 USC 1681e compliance procedures which requires them to verify information and ensure information reported is accurate. Any and all consent to XXXX, Experian, and XXXX in regards to these accounts whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IA)

As an active credit user, I currently have several accounts on my credit report, most of which are positive. However, XXXX are negatives. Overall, I have a total of fifty-one accounts that are active and forty-eight are in good standing while XXXX are not. I make all payments on time and as of the third of this month, the information offered was still accurate. The problem is my credit score and despite the outweighs of positive accounts vs negative accounts, plus an account history that dates back to twenty-three years, my credit score is relatively low. My current credit score as reported on XXXX XXXX is XXXX for XXXX and XXXX for XXXX while Experian is reported as XXXX on XXXX credit journey. In my perception a score that fails to display my actual credit standing and one that robs me of lower interest rates or better credit deals. Ideally, a process that forces me to accept prime credit cards and high-interest rates despite my excellent credit history.

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding their handling of an alleged debt associated with account number XXXX. Despite multiple attempts to address this matter directly with the company, they have failed to provide the necessary documentation and have violated several provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The details of my complaint are as follows : Failure to Provide Validation : I have repeatedly requested comprehensive validation of the alleged debt, including signed documents establishing my direct ownership. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to provide this information within the requested timeframe, violating my rights under the FDCPA. 

Unlawful Reporting of Disputed Information : Despite the ongoing dispute and lack of validation, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to report the alleged debt to credit bureaus. This is a direct violation of the FCRA, which requires accurate reporting and the cessation of reporting during a dispute. 

Refusal to Cooperate : The company has demonstrated a deliberate refusal to cooperate with my requests, ignoring the urgency of the matter and violating their obligations under federal law. 

Potential Violations of Identity Fraud Protection : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 's failure to adequately verify the legitimacy of the alleged debt may constitute negligent enablement of identity fraud, exposing consumers to potential harm. 

I have made the company aware of my intention to seek legal action, including potential small claims proceedings, and have provided them with a final opportunity to address the matter amicably. However, their continued non-compliance necessitates the involvement of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to ensure the protection of consumer rights. 

Enclosed with this complaint, please find copies of all relevant correspondence, including the letters sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, highlighting my attempts to resolve this matter directly. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this complaint thoroughly and take appropriate actions to ensure compliance with federal consumer protection laws. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a prompt resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
