Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

Please understand I am the only person writing this with no help from a 3rd party.I swear all information provided herein under the penalty of perjury is true and accurate to the best of my ability and knowledge. As per the regulations outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), it is imperative that consumer reporting agencies, such as Equifax and XXXX and XXXX conduct their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and utmost respect for the privacy rights of consumers. 

As a consumer, I am entitled to ensure the confidentiality of my personal information, as reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which underscores Congress 's stance on financial institutions ' obligation to safeguard customer privacy. Entities providing information to credit agencies, classified as financial institutions, fall under this directive. The Accounts in question are as followed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX According to 15 USC 1681 section 604, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only upon the written instructions of the concerned consumer. Equifax, XXXX and XXXX and any financial institution furnishing information to credit agencies lack my explicit consent or written authorization to do so. Therefore, any form of consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, or implied, is hereby revoked. 

Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 mandates that a financial institution must inform consumers of their right to opt out of disclosing nonpublic personal information to third parties. However, I was never notified of this option by the furnisher of information to credit agencies. 

Moreover, according to 15 USC 1681C, consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from including adverse items of information in consumer reports without authorization. This account being reported without my consent violates this provision.

Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ), it is unlawful for any entity to furnish inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies, and Equifax and XXXX and XXXX fail to maintain reasonable procedures as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681e.

Furthermore, according to 12 CFR 1016.7, consumers retain the right to opt out of reporting services at any time, a right I am now exercising. 

Therefore, I demand that Equifax, XXXX and XXXX and any financial institution involved cease the reporting of my information immediately.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (SC)

On XX/XX/2022 I received a voice message from Ally regarding our car loan being delinquent. I called them back later that day. I was told by the representative that the account was delinquent by {$1000.00}. I explained that I would make payment by Monday XX/XX/2022. I was asked if I would make a payment of {$1000.00} by XX/XX/2022 THREE times. I affirmed my answer all three times. 

On XX/XX/2022 I created an online user name and accessed my account. The account showed over {$1700.00} delinquent. I made my payment of {$1100.00} on XX/XX/2022. I noticed a remaining delinquent amount of {$190.00} and {$530.00} in late fees. I made the payment for the {$190.00} on XX/XX/2022. I called Ally on XX/XX/2022 and asked for an explanation of the difference between the delinquent amount from {$1000.00} on XX/XX/2022 to over {$1200.00} on XX/XX/2022. I received no response. I also requested a waiver of the late fees since my account was now current. The representative indicated that he would submit that request but a maximum of {$37.00} could be waived if that. I find the late fees to be draconian since the account is now current and the interest being charged is nearly 11 %. The ever-changing balance seems to be suspicious as well. They indicate that they record phone conversations. I'd like to review the conversations I had with them and know why the amount due changed over only 3 days.
