Issue: Improper use of your report — Report provided to employer without your written authorization
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (VA)

I trust this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a critical matter involving the unauthorized disclosure of my credit information.

As an individual deeply impacted by my upbringing and surrounding environment, the protection of my personal data holds paramount importance. My unique circumstances have instilled in me a profound awareness of privacy and the crucial necessity for consent in the sharing of sensitive information.

Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically referenced under 15 U.S. Code 1681b - XXXX XXXX ; Permissible purposes of consumer reports, XXXX XXXX  ; it is clear that consumer reporting agencies are obligated to operate within strict boundaries to protect individual privacy. This statute mandates that such agencies may only release consumer reports under certain conditions, chiefly requiring the explicit, written consent of the individual concerned.

It has come to my attention that my credit information has been furnished by your agency without my authorization, in direct contravention of section 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). This section unequivocally requires my written approval prior to the dissemination of my credit report. The absence of my consent in this matter not only violates federal law but also disregards my personal rights to privacy and control over my financial information.

Given this unauthorized action, I demand the prompt removal of all inaccurately reported information from my consumer report. Should these issues remain unaddressed, I am prepared to seek reparation through legal channels, including but not limited to, initiating a claim for damages in small claims court.

I urgently request that Experian conducts a thorough investigation into this matter to address the FCRA violations promptly. As a consumer, I am well-versed in my rights under the FCRA, and I trust that Experian will take the necessary measures to rectify this situation in compliance with the law.I have taken the necessary steps to report this breach of the FCRA to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau , the Attorney Generals Office , the XXXX XXXX XXXX , and the Federal Trade Commission . This escalation is aimed at ensuring comprehensive resolution and to prevent further misuse of my personal information. It is my hope that by involving these regulatory bodies, we can facilitate adherence to legal standards and protect the rights of consumers like myself.

Your immediate attention to this matter is required. Failure to comply with the demands outlined in this letter will compel me to pursue all available legal remedies to protect my interests and ensure compliance with the FCRA.

XXXX report in particular on Equifax was not removed and it still to this day remains on my credit report and Equifax has not removed it despite a dispute being filed. XXXX had removed both reported accounts on my XXXX and XXXX but not on Equifax.

I submitted an online bank payment of {$7000.00} from one bank to my Wells Fargo credit card on XX/XX/23, wells fargo received the payment and show it was a pending post on XX/XX/23. On XX/XX/23 it shows it posted to my account but only {$500.00} was posted and made available. I contacted Wells Fargo and was told not to worry the remainder of the balance would post on XX/XX/23 on XX/XX/23 when it still had not posted I called in again and was told they had placed a 4 day hold on the funds on XX/XX/23 to investigate the transaction but that funds would be released on XX/XX/23 when funds were not released on XX/XX/23 I called in again and was told they did not initiate the 4 day hold until XX/XX/23 so my funds should be released on XX/XX/23. Wells Fargo is holding my money hostage and refusing to do anything about it. They keep changing the date of when it will be posted to my account. Today when I called in to file a complaint with WF they told me they really have no guarantee or way to tell me when my funds would be posted and next time to just go in the branch to make payments.
