Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Credit Inquiries and Request to Opt-Out of Future Inquiries XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION I am writing to file a formal complaint concerning unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report, which I believe constitute a violation of my rights under several key regulations and statutes including 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ), 15 U.S.C. 6802-6805 ( Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ), 12 CFR 1022 ( Regulation V ), the Privacy Act of 1974, and 16 CFR 313 ( Privacy of Consumer Financial Information ).

**Violations Noted : ** 1. **15 U.S.C. 1681** mandates that consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy and fairness of credit reporting, and only allow access to credit information for permissible purposes. Unauthorized inquiries do not meet these requirements and thus, represent a breach of this statute. 
2. **15 U.S.C. 6802-6805** obligates financial institutions to provide consumers with a notice of their privacy policies and practices, including the right to opt-out of information sharing. The persistence of unauthorized inquiries reflects a failure to adhere to these provisions.

3. **12 CFR 1022 ( Regulation V ) ** ensures the accuracy and integrity of information provided to consumer reporting agencies. Unauthorized inquiries demonstrate a failure in maintaining the privacy and integrity of my personal financial information as outlined in this regulation. 
4. **The Privacy Act of 1974** protects against the unauthorized disclosure of personal information held by federal agencies. While primarily applicable to government, the principles mirror my rights to privacy which are being violated through unauthorized credit inquiries. In light of the above, I am exercising my rights under **16 CFR 313 and specifically 16 CFR 313.7 ( f ) **, which support my decision to opt-out of any further reporting of credit inquiries on my credit report. This request is to ensure the protection of my personal financial information, as guaranteed by federal law. 
I demand immediate action to : - Cease all future credit inquiries without my explicit, written consent. 
- Remove all previous unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. 
- Provide written confirmation of these actions. 

Failure to address these concerns promptly will leave me no choice but to seek further legal counsel to protect my rights. Please, upon deletion, send me an updated copy of my credit reports.

I have copies of the inaccuracies and asking you to remove these from my report since they failed to do the right thing. It's not right to be violated in such a way it affects my well-being and how I live and provide for my family.

I have tried to contact Nelnet multiple times over the past month about payments and my loan repayment application. I have not received any information from them via mail or email. But I did get mail from a fraud claiming to be apart of the Nelnet and the XXXX. I went through the process because it was the only form of communication I had about the loans and it turned out to be a scam. The scammers are using nelnet lack of communication and customer service to get peoples personal information by pretending to work for the loan company. I still have not been able to talk to anyone at nelnet about this and to make sure that my student loan account is secure since the scammers may have access to it now. I was about to file reports and freeze credit lines but have not been able to get anything done about my account with nelnet. I can't do anything online, through the chat box, through email, or over the phone. There seems to be no one available. Every step I took ended with " contact us '' for further assistance, which led to the same phone number and email address. I have been on hold for several hours just today.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NY)

In early XXXX, I discovered an unfamiliar Home Depot credit card listed on my credit report, despite never having applied for it. I promptly reached out to their customer service to report this as a fraudulent account. Approximately two weeks later, I received a credit card application letter from Home Depot, even though I had already closed the fraudulent account. They assured me they would investigate the matter and provide me with the results in the letter. 

Moving forward to the beginning of XXXX, I received a bill from Home Depot 's credit card department, indicating that it was overdue and subject to interest charges. Despite my numerous attempts to contact the Home Depot credit card department and sending all the support documents to them since XXXX, the issue remained unresolved. 

Now, as XXXX began, I find myself in the same predicament, having received yet another bill and still awaiting any form of response or resolution from Home Depot 's credit card department, and the interest goes higher.
