Account opened- XXXX XXXX credit limit {$1100.00} I am writing to address certain concerns regarding the handling of my personal information as outlined under various provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related statutes. 

It is imperative to underscore the fundamental principles delineated within the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), particularly in Section 602 ( a ), which emphasizes the need for consumer reporting agencies such as XXXX and Experian to exercise fairness, impartiality, and respect for individuals ' privacy rights. As a consumer, I am entitled to safeguard my private information, as underscored by the provisions within 15 USC 6801.

Furthermore, in adherence to the policies articulated by the Congress in 15 USC 6802, financial institutions like XXXX  XXXX XXXX are duty-bound to uphold the privacy and confidentiality of their customers ' nonpublic personal information. The law stipulates that any disclosure of such information to nonaffiliated third parties necessitates explicit consent from the consumer, in accordance with 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ). 

Regrettably, I have not been duly informed by XXXX  XXXX XXXX of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, as mandated by 15 USC 6802. Moreover, the reporting of adverse information without my consent, as reiterated in 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), is a direct violation of my privacy rights and the statutes outlined within the FCRA.

Additionally, I draw attention to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ), which prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. XXXX and Experian 's failure to maintain reasonable procedures, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1681e, further compounds these concerns.

Furthermore, pursuant to 12 CFR 1016.7, I hereby exercise my right to opt out of your reporting services with immediate effect.

In conclusion, I expect full compliance with the provisions of the FCRA and related statutes regarding the handling and dissemination of my personal information. Your prompt attention to these matters is appreciated. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I called on XX/XX/2023, and they adjusted off some late fees and i made a payment in full of the revised balance of {$150.00} which included some interest. I explained the situation that I never got a bill in the mail, only this written letter of deliquent acccount. XXXX 's informed me that I had requested email bills, which I do not recall doing. However, in checking archives and spam and other emails, I find no ( 0 ) bills from this credit card company. 

The credit card number ends in XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card. My social security is XXXX The credit card reported me late which I understand but that lowered my credit to XXXX, and also lowered my credit limit to {$500.00}. I wrote them a letter and appealed to them to rescind the negative reporting against me as I have never had any and have always paid by bills in full and timely, and explained not getting the bills and not signing up to my knowledge on emails and even if I had, not receiving any emails. 

I also sent a letter to XXXX XXXX regarding the same on XX/XX/2023 and notifying them I have dispute XXXX Report..
