Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I spoke with The Bankruptcy Courts and they emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. 

My inquiry to the U. S. Bankruptcy Courts confirmed Experian Credit Bureau has never validated or verified these public record entry on my credit report, neither will they ever be by them. They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering the information indicating a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation, I need all bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

Account # XXXX opened-XXXX  XXXX amount- XXXX $ I am writing to address certain concerns regarding the handling of my personal information as outlined under various provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related statutes. 

It is imperative to underscore the fundamental principles delineated within the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), particularly in Section 602 ( a ), which emphasizes the need for consumer reporting agencies such as Equifax and XXXX to exercise fairness, impartiality, and respect for individuals ' privacy rights. As a consumer, I am entitled to safeguard my private information, as underscored by the provisions within 15 USC 6801. 

Furthermore, in adherence to the policies articulated by the Congress in 15 USC 6802, financial institutions like XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are duty-bound to uphold the privacy and confidentiality of their customers ' nonpublic personal information. The law stipulates that any disclosure of such information to nonaffiliated third parties necessitates explicit consent from the consumer, in accordance with 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ). 

Regrettably, I have not been duly informed by XXXX XXXX XXXX of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, as mandated by 15 USC 6802. Moreover, the reporting of adverse information without my consent, as reiterated in 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), is a direct violation of my privacy rights and the statutes outlined within the FCRA. 

Additionally, I draw attention to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ), which prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. Equifax and XXXX 's failure to maintain reasonable procedures, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1681e, further compounds these concerns. 

Furthermore, pursuant to 12 CFR 1016.7, I hereby exercise my right to opt out of your reporting services with immediate effect. 

In conclusion, I expect full compliance with the provisions of the FCRA and related statutes regarding the handling and dissemination of my personal information. Your prompt attention to these matters is appreciated. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
