I mailed a certified letter to Experian on XXXX. Experian stated that my account was properly investigated. It was not. 

Experian Violated : 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 A. States I have a right to privacy.

Experian Violated : U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information.

Ive never been given the opportunity to uphold my rights for B and C listed above which is a violation by Experian. 

Experian Violated : 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : States a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

According to 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00}.

Ive provided formal notice that I will be seeking {$1000.00} per violation.

I read the XXXX XXXX XXXX Experian credit consumer report from XXXX Experian has all of these items listed below inaccurately reported on my Experian Credit Report. These all listed below are violations of XXXX XXXX. XXXX. & XXXX Definitions ; rules of construction are being violated by Experian.

Violation 3. I stated in the certified letter I needed them to delete the two inaccurate, wrong listings of the last four of my social security number. Experian has not deleted them. They are still listed as : XXXX and XXXX. My actual last four are : XXXX. Having a section titled Social Security Number Variations and listing several different numbers all of which were incorrect is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The title for this section : Social Security Number Variations is a direct violation meaning it shows intent to show inaccurate information deliberately on the part of Experian. Everyone knows each consumer has only one social security number, so for Experian to actually have a section that says Social Security Number Variations is a slap in the face of all consumers. Delete within 5 days. This is inaccurate. 



Violation 4. All XXXX XXXX inquiries should be deleted from my Experian report within 5 days. Experian did not do their due diligence to insure the information they were receiving from XXXX XXXX was accurate. The XXXX XXXX information is inaccurate.

Violation 5. Experian is in direct violation of 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( b ). And also 15 USC 1692 ( C ) ( a ) Experian is not respecting my privacy this is private information that I did not want shared. I specifically wrote to XXXX explaining I did not want this student loan information shared with anyone since it is paid and settled. This loan information should not be showing on my consumer report due to me coming to an arrangement with XXXX and making it clear this information should not be shared. Experian made the mistake of only checking with the Department of Education. Experian should have also checked with XXXX since they took over responsibility for loan servicing. There is private personal information about my life tied to these that I dont feel comfortable sharing with Experian. They need to immediately delete XXXX Student loans they have listed. 
They should not have listed Dept of EDXXXX XXXX Balance XXXX Status Paid and closed. First of all the date opened is inaccurate XX/XX/XXXX. Delete Immediately.

Violation 24. I clicked on the dispute tab while in the credit report of Experian. It says complete and review then below that it says select a reason you want to dispute. Experian gives a drop down menu to select one. Experian never allows you to actually select one.

I would like to have an explanation as to why they violated my rights and listed this with out doing a complete debt validation to make sure this is 100 % accurate. They also listed this as potentially negative. That is a violation. Something cant be potentially negative if it has XXXX late payments. Experian needs to keep in mind : U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information. ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. I dont want this information from XXXX XXXX with the last four of XXXX listed on my Consumer credit report from Experian. 

I will be sending out an affidavit of truth and an invoice.
