Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding the conduct of XXXX XXXX, a financial services company. It has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX has violated my rights under the Privacy Act of 1974, specifically in contravention of 5 USC 552a and 5 USC 552b, as well as related Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ) sections.

The Privacy Act of 1974 is a federal law designed to safeguard the privacy of individuals concerning personal information held by federal agencies. It establishes a code of fair information practices that govern the collection, maintenance, use, and dissemination of personally identifiable information about individuals that is maintained in systems of records by federal agencies. 

The specific sections of the United States Code that I believe XXXX XXXX has violated, in conjunction with related CFR sections, are as follows : 5 USC 552a- The Privacy Act of 1974 : XXXX XXXX, in its handling of my personal information, has failed to adhere to the provisions outlined in 5 USC 552a, which outlines the conditions under which personal information may be disclosed and the rights of individuals to access and amend their records. 

5 USC 552b- The Government in the Sunshine Act : XXXX XXXX 's actions appear to contravene the provisions of 5 USC 552b, which governs the openness of agency meetings and the disclosure of information. I assert that XXXX XXXX 's lack of transparency regarding the handling of my personal information raises concerns about compliance with this statute. 

CFR 313.7 - XXXX Customer Information : XXXX XXXX may also be in violation of CFR 313.7, which sets forth standards to protect the security and confidentiality of customer information. Any failure to comply with these standards further compounds concerns regarding XXXX XXXX 's data handling practices. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau thoroughly investigate these alleged violations by XXXX XXXX and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and related CFR sections. I am confident that a comprehensive examination will reveal the extent of the company 's non-compliance and facilitate corrective measures to protect the privacy rights of consumers.

This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent EXPERIAN multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In Experians responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. 

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.

Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. 

I need your help! As a consumer, I need to correct my credit file for my credit worthiness, credit standing, or credit capacity to obtain my rights and My Financial Freedom that has been DAMAGE. List of items that are UNKNOWN to me : XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/13 Balance : {$27000.00}.

I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction with the second unsuccessful attempt to remove fraudulent items from my credit file. Despite my continued efforts to rectify this matter, the fraudulent entries persist on my credit report, causing significant distress and negatively impacting my financial standing. 

I have previously submitted identity theft affidavits, police reports, and supporting documentation in my initial attempt to correct these inaccuracies. Unfortunately, the necessary actions were not taken to ensure the timely and accurate removal of the fraudulent items. 

The continued presence of these inaccuracies is not only affecting my creditworthiness but is also causing significant challenges in securing credit, obtaining favorable interest rates, and managing my overall financial well-being. 

I urge you to conduct an immediate and thorough reinvestigation into this matter to expedite the removal of the fraudulent items from my credit report. I expect a detailed response within the exact timeframe acknowledging the receipt of this second complaint and outlining the specific steps that will be taken to address and rectify the fraudulent items promptly. 
Failure to resolve this matter in a timely and satisfactory manner may compel me to escalate my complaint to regulatory authorities and seek legal recourse to protect my rights.

Target has blocked payments multiple times and has opened the payment portal the day after the payment was due to charge me a late fee. The company has done this multiple times and I have contacted it to get these fees removed, but Target has kept these fees and has charged me interest on the fees. I have paid off the card fully at this point, but the company 's fees and interest remain. I would like Target to remove them and close out my account. I have some written records and screenshots. Target has blocked me from using the messaging center to avoid generating more records. Some of these fees are more than a year old, so these have gotten much worse over time. I want my account cleared and closed.
