Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I submitted a dispute regarding falsely furnished accounts by Experian ( Complaint ID XXXX ) the response is not valid in that the investigation is in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( e ) - investigative reports must have sources of interviews of family and friends, and the results can not contain factual information. The " creditors '' are neither family or friends. No notice of dispute was placed on the alleged accounts per 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( f ). Further, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) this dispute was made XX/XX/2022, and Experian did not submit a reply until XX/XX/2022. This reinvestigation has taken longer than 30 days and the alleged accounts should have been deleted. Experian failed to maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations under section 1681c, and no consumer reporting agency can furnish a consumer report to any person without following all the purposes listed in section 1681b of title 15.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as delineated in 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ), it is emphasized that consumer reporting agencies must execute their significant responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a profound respect for the consumer 's privacy rights. XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and Experian, being consumer reporting agencies, hold this obligation. As a federally protected consumer, I have the right to safeguard my private information, as reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which underscores the Congressional policy of ensuring financial institutions respect customer privacy and safeguard nonpublic personal information.

Furthermore, entities providing information to credit agencies, categorized as financial institutions under this statute, are bound by 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), requiring consumer reporting agencies to furnish consumer reports solely in accordance with the written instructions of the concerned consumer. XXXX, Experian, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the financial institution furnishing information to credit agencies lack my consent to furnish this information, let alone my written consent and violate their own terms and conditions by sharing information with nonaffiliate. Consequently, any and all consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, or implied, to XXXX, Experian, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the aforementioned financial institution is hereby revoked. 

Moreover, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) mandates that a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is informed of their right to exercise the nondisclosure option. Regrettably, I have not been informed of this right by the financial institution furnishing information to credit agencies. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in consumer reports without authorization. Despite this, the account in question is being reported without my permission, contravening the law.

Further, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) dictates that no person shall furnish inaccurate information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Experian, therefore, are failing to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations of this statute, as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681e.

Finally, pursuant to 12 CFR 1016.7, I am exercising my right to opt out of your reporting services effective immediately.
