Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681 Section 602 ( a ), it is emphasized that consumer reporting agencies, such as XXXX and Experian, must carry out their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a commitment to respecting the consumer 's right to privacy. As the consumer, I assert my right to safeguard my private information, as supported by 15 USC 6801, which underscores the congressional policy that financial institutions, including furnishers of information to credit agencies, are obligated to uphold customer privacy and protect nonpublic personal information. 

In line with 15 USC 1681, Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), I want to highlight that any disclosure of my consumer report must strictly adhere to my written instructions. As of now, neither the financial institution ( furnisher of information to credit agencies ) nor the consumer reporting agencies ( XXXX and Experian ) possess my consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, to furnish this information. 

Referring to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), it is clear that a financial institution can not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without informing the consumer about their nondisclosure options. Unfortunately, the furnisher of information to credit agencies failed to provide me with an explanation of how I can exercise my right to nondisclosure. 

Moreover, according to 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from including certain adverse information in a consumer report without authorization. The current reporting of adverse information without my permission is a violation of this provision. 

The FCRA, in 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A, explicitly states that furnishing inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies is prohibited. XXXX and Experian, by not maintaining reasonable procedures as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681e, are failing to abide by the law.

Lastly, following 12 CFR 1016.7, I hereby exercise my right to opt out of your reporting services at any time. It is imperative that my wishes are respected and that my private information is handled in strict compliance with the relevant statutes and regulations.

Id like to ensure that you have and ONLY RETAIN current, TRUE, CORRECT, COMPLETE, and MANDATED REPORTED information per FCRA regulations. I DEMAND, as it is my lawful RIGHT ( s ) to do so, that you DELETE all information that is deficient of any condition, mentioned above. 
Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 
Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. 
Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 
Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. 
You are violating my rights! The reports are not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (RI)

My loan with Carrington Mortgage was paid off through the sale of the property on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted customer service regarding the status of the escrow refund check as we were in the process of moving and had no way of retrieving any mail that slipped through the mail-forwarding. The representative told me the check ( number XXXX ) in the amount of {$2100.00} was mailed on XX/XX/XXXX, and I would need to wait 15 days before calling to request the check be voided and resent. 

I have since attempted to follow up, but now that my loan is paid off the customer service phone number no longer recognizes my phone or loan numbers. There is no way to circumvent the dialer rotary to speak to a representative. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I sent an email and left a voicemail for Carrington Mortgage on their Advocates phone number and email address. Then on XX/XX/XXXX I was contacted by XXXX XXXX that my inquiry was opened, and he would email me with a follow up same-day. I did not receive an email from him or Carrington. The following day, XX/XX/XXXX, another representative from Carrington Mortgage called, stating the escrow check would be issued. 

I have not heard anything from XXXX, the other rep, or Carrington Mortgage since XX/XX/XXXX. 

I'm not sure what is going on here, but I need my money refunded to me immediately. I need the timeline of refund and tracking information for my refund check provided as soon as possible. 

Carrington Mortgage is not responding to my emails, inquiry with XXXX, or any other communication. I need help with this. 

Thank you,

This company has continued to violate my consumer rights. They are in violation in 15 USC 1681 B-Permissible Purpose, 15 USC 1681 Q, 15 USC 1681C-2 . This company responded to my dispute as you can see in the document attached stating that this account has been verified by the company reporting it. They have NOT supplied any proof of this account verified. The have no permissible purpose to report these accounts on my consumer report. The law is clear and it states these companies must have my written permission and they DO NOT!!!! You also can see that I have a letter attached from the company US Bankruptcy Court where they are stating they did not verify any of my information with these consumer reporting agencies. This company is falsely reporting inaccurate information on my consumer report and I am demanding they stop and remove this fraudulent information for their financial gain. This is illegal!!! Here are all the documents I have sent to them showing them proof they are illegally using my personal information and they have refused to stop.
