I am sending you this complaint to inform you that this company made an unauthorized inquiry on my personal credit report. I have listed the company 's name below, and the dates the inquiry was made. Since I did not authorize this company to obtain my credit report, I demand that this be deleted as soon as possible and my XXXX XXXX be adjusted accordingly. In addition, I am requesting a copy of my updated credit report reflecting these changes be sent as soon as possible.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CO)

Do not mark this as a duplicate complaint as there are new concerns that must be addressed. The account I am speaking of is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Account # XXXX. The law gives me the consumer the right to opt out under 12 CFR 1016.7 ( h ) which states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' 12 CFR 1016.7 ( g ) also states that you must comply with a consumer 's opt out direction as soon as reasonably practicable after you receive it. Regulation P which is the privacy of consumer financial information clearly outlines the fact that I as the consumer can opt of you reporting this account to my credit. I wrote to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX with a notarized opt out letter as evidenced by tracking number XXXX. Which was received by them on XX/XX/XXXX the account was last reported on XX/XX/XXXX allowing over 9 business days for them to remove the account before it was reported again. The law states they comply with a consumer 's opt out direction as soon as reasonably practicable after they receive it. I do believe that 9 business days is more than reasonable. Not only that section 51 of the lease agreement is the severability clause which states If any provision of this lease contract is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability only without invalidating the rest of the agreement. This means it is made in accordance with the Law and the laws for reporting credit under permissible purposes ( 15 USC 1681b ) says that you must have written instructions from the consumer to report in the 1st place. This is supported by the privacy act of 1974 which states " No agency shall disclose any record which is contained in a system of records by any means of communication to any person, or to another agency, except pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to whom the record pertains. XXXX has already removed the account because it was added unlawfully after previous CFPB complaints. Therefore it is impossible that XXXX and Experian are maintaining reasonable procedures and reporting accurate information which is a violation of 15 USC 1681e Compliance Procedures. The fact that one of the main reporting agencies has already removed the account is more than enough proof that my consumer rights were violated and continue to be. XXXX, Experian, and XXXX XXXX 's negligence in this matter has caused me serious harm as the consumer. Please remove the account as I have opted out in accordance with federal law.

I am saddened that I can't not get this resolved. I recently disputed inquires on my credit report and you guys said they're authorized and they are most certainly not. I contacted the below creditors and they have NO proof I initiated such inquiries, nor written authorization and have failed to provide any permissible purpose. Since, they do not have my authorization, written nor verbal I ask that you delete these authorized inquiries from my credit report immediately as there is no evidence of any authorization, nor any permissible purpose.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (DC)

I am writing to request that the negative items listed below be removed from my credit report immediately. The negative items are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX. 

As you may be aware, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) recently suffered a major data breach, which has put consumers ' sensitive financial information at risk. Due to this breach, I have reason to believe that the negative items on my credit report may not be accurate, and I request that they be removed as soon as possible.

I also want to bring to your attention that the continued reporting of these negative items may be in violation of US Code 1681 I, which requires that credit reporting agencies only report information that is accurate and verifiable. Given the potential inaccuracies caused by the CFPB breach, I believe that it is appropriate to remove these negative items from my credit report. 

I hope that you will take prompt action to investigate these negative items and remove them from my credit report if they are found to be inaccurate. Please inform me of your findings and any actions taken to correct my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of an Acct Number : N/A XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Ive submitted enough information regarding the fraudulent account thats open in my name I have provided information for your company to have carried out a reasonable investigation of this dispute. If you had investigated properly rather then using your XXXX system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to Verified. Since youve obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, Equifax XXXX, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldnt merely Parrot information from the creditors and collection agencies that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the XXXX system that doesnt even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. 

If you dont initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as it is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Which Im sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter ends up in court. 
I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you.
