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

I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am writing to address significant concerns related to potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by consumer reporting agencies, namely XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, as well as the financial institution, XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Citing 15 USC 1681 section 602a, it is emphasized that consumer reporting agencies bear the responsibility of exercising their duties with fairness, impartiality, and a profound respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. Simultaneously, 15 USC 6801 establishes Congress 's policy, stipulating that financial institutions, including XXXX XXXX XXXX, are obligated to affirmatively and continually respect the privacy of consumers and safeguard the security and confidentiality of nonpublic personal information. 
Referring to 15 USC 1681 section 604a section 2, it is underscored that consumer reporting agencies may only furnish a consumer report in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. As of this communication, neither XXXX XXXX XXXX nor the consumer reporting agencies, XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, possess my explicit written consent to furnish my information. 

In light of the above, I am formally revoking any and all authorizations, whether verbal, nonverbal, written, implied, or otherwise, that may have been granted to XXXX, XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX XXXX XXXX, as per 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ). Notably, XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to inform me of my right to exercise the nondisclosure option, as mandated by the same statute. 

Moreover, 15 USC 1681 ( c ) ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in a consumer report without proper authorization. The reported account constitutes an adverse item reported without my explicit permission, in violation of 15 USC 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( a ).

Under 15 USC 1681E, consumer reporting agencies are required to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations. It has come to my attention that XXXX may not be adhering to these prescribed standards. 
In accordance with 12 CFR 1016.7, I am formally exercising my right to opt out of adverse reporting services. I kindly request your immediate attention and resolution of these matters. Your prompt response to this serious concern is highly anticipated and appreciated.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.
