Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to officially challenge the information contained in my consumer report, as provided by your agency. Upon scrutinizing my report, I discovered that undisclosed personal information about me has been shared with a non-affiliated third party without obtaining my written consent. This appears to be a violation of the regulations outlined in 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with Respect to Disclosures of Personal Information.

According to my understanding of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to be informed about and control the disclosure of my personal information. The disclosure to a non-affiliated third party raises concerns about my privacy rights, as I was never given the opportunity to opt-out, as mandated by law. 

Upon careful examination of the report, I observed that specific accounts are being reported without my written consent. It is essential to clarify that my dispute is not with the creditor but with your reporting agency for disseminating and reporting information without proper authorization. 

I reference 15 USC 1681b - Permissible Purpose, which requires a consumer 's written consent for the reporting of personal information. Currently, I have not granted such written consent, and I kindly request documentation to validate my consent, demonstrating compliance with this legal requirement. Failure to provide evidence of my consent could be interpreted as a violation of my rights under the FCRA. 

Additionally, I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) concerning this matter, and the reference number for my complaint is XXXX. I believe that the unauthorized disclosure and reporting of my personal information may constitute a violation under 18 USC 1028a, potentially constituting identity theft. 

In accordance with 15 USC 1681c-2, I formally request the removal of the following accounts from my consumer report within four business days from the date of this letter : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX  Account Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Account Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX UNAUTHORIZED INQUIRY XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/2022 XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/2022 XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/2022 I affirm my right to a fair and accurate credit reporting process, emphasizing that the swift removal of these accounts is crucial to rectifying the reported inaccuracies. 

Furthermore, I request documentation regarding your method of verification for the disputed accounts and records showing proof of my option to opt-out of the information being reported in my consumer report. This will ensure that your reporting agency adheres to the necessary standards for accuracy and fairness in credit reporting. 

I anticipate your prompt attention to this matter and the resolution of my dispute within the specified time frame of four business days. Non-compliance with the provisions of the FCRA may result in further legal action. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
