Equifax is a consumer reporting agency and I am the consumer, a natural person. As the consumer, I have the right to ensure my private information is not shared pursuant to 15 USC 6801. 15 USC 6801 states that It is the policy of congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers nonpublic personal information. In this case, XXXX XXXX is a financial institution by definition in accordance with 15 USC 6801.

15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) section 2 references In general Subject to section ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

XXXX XXXX has never informed me or notified me of my right to exercise my non disclosure option.

This account is in fact an adverse item they are reporting without my permission which is against the law. 15 USC 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) states that A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that information is inaccurate. Furthermore, 15 USC 1681 ( e ) states that Every customer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title.

I was not getting evicted and I was not supposed to get charged any other expenses.

I tried saying my other accounts where I am only authorized do not impact my score as they are very high limits it would greatly increase my score but they didn't want to listen.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: Accelerated Receivables Management, Inc. (FL)

I had XXXX at my doctors office in 2014 and they used a lab that was out of network with my insurance. I was told by my healthcare provider that this company has more comprehensive testing and has agreed to not bill for denied test and deductibles because I am using a out-of-network lab. My insurance posted all of the charges to my {$1500.00} deductible. Now 2 years later I am receiving invoices and calls from a collector for {$1300.00}. The lab company apparently filed for bankruptcy and a collector has bought all their account receivables. My doctor has called them on my behalf and explained that the only reason they used this lab is because of their stated billing policy. If my bloodwork had been sent to my network lab they would have paid and the deductible would not have applied. They are extremely rude and tell me that my doctor and I broke the law by even having this type of agreement and that they are going to report us to the proper authorities.They threaten to report me to the credit bureau 's. 

The bottom line is this collections company is trying to collect a debt that I am not responsible for and they will say and do just about anything to get it. The bankrupt lab is currently being sued by the lab that purchased all its assets because of these very collections practices that they are using.
