Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX all violated my consumer rights to privacy under 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information.

( a ) Notice requirements Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information, unless such financial institution provides or has provided to the consumer a notice that complies with section 6803 of this title.

( b ) Opt out.

( 1 ) In general A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option.

I I went to XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX to have an exam. After a two hour wait, I saw the XXXX. I was presented with a application for credit at 27 % interest from CareCredit/Skynchrony Bank. I filled out the application but decided something was wrong and never had any work done. My visit was paid for by insurance.
It appears XXXX XXXX used the application as a scam to get money from CareCredit ( {$1500.00} ) claiming the work was done. Now I am getting bills from CareCredit for {$1500.00} as well as late charges for work never performed.
I have notified CareCredit by mail twice of the facts and instructed them to cancel the application, credit card, and not contact me again.
After two months they continue to bill me and add penalties. I fear they will damage my credit.

I presented to Experian a dispute that will be attached to this complaint. Experian sent me a letter asking me to identify myself and present to them a copy of identify theft report that was filed with the Federal Trade Commission, who is a federal law enforcement agency. I am submitting my identifiable information with this complaint as requested by Experian. I asked Experian to provide on numerous occasions asking you to validate the validity of the accounts that are reporting on my consumer report. After each contact, your company has noted these accounts have been verified and updated on my consumer report. Your company has refused and or failed to provide me with your investigation process. By law, you are required to investigate anything that is furnished on my credit report. I have requested for the method ( s ) of verification of the investigative accounts and how did the company come to the conclusion that these accounts are accurate? Congress found in the congressional findings that you are using an elaborate mechanism to determine my credit worthiness that is unfair and undermines my due diligence to extend my credit. After further research, CFPB released an article in detail that proves this company has not properly handled consumers disputes because proper investigations were not conducted extensively. With Experians misconduct, this has caused a strain on my personal life and has caused me hardship with extended my credit. Furthermore, I NEVER consented to this information being furnished and this infringes upon my right to privacy as a federally protected consumer. I am demanding this information be taking into consideration and these alleged accounts will be deleted from my consumer credit profile that you continuously updates. I will escalate this and hold Experian personal liable for their deception. Experian is ruining my reputation as in direct violation FCRA 15 USC 1681
