Under what authority, statute, or law does CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICES have to share and or furnish my nonpublic, private, personal, identifying financial information? CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICES is sharing my consumers private, personal, nonpublic, identifying financial information, transactions, and experiences to third parties, which include but may not be limited to consumer reporting agencies ; and these actions are causing the consumer to sustain injuries. I recently learned that consumers have privacy rights secured to them under the Gramm Leach Bliley Act 15 USC 6802 and the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ), that requires any financial institution desiring to disclose/share and or furnish private, nonpublic, personal identifiable financial account information, transactions and experiences about any customer and or consumer, must first provide proper disclosure regarding its intent to do so, as well as give the consumer an opportunity to opt out. CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICES is hereby notified of the following : ANY and ALL consent assumed or obtained by CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICES from the consumer, ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) that granted it permission to disclose, share, or furnish the private, personal, nonpublic, identifiable financial information. transactions and experiences, whether it was expressed or implied is now REVOKED, TERMINATED, CANCELED, and RESCINDED retroactively to the date that such consent was presumed to be obtained, to-date. It was never my intention to willfully surrender any legal right to privacy, nor do I believe I have done so in any way ; therefore, I am investigating the validity of the " consent '' assumed or obtained by CREDIT COLECTION SERVICES.

Company: Liberty Finance Co., Inc. (MS)

In XXXX of XXXX we took out a loan that was supposed to be for XXXX, that ended up being over XXXX and a year longer than originally quoted. They added an old debt of mine that had been garnished from my wages My ex employer paid half of it but failed to pay the rest. I was told to sue my employer. Although they assigned her care and control of the debt in which she collected in full, i had to pay it again .... financed and over a 6 year term. We were desperate at the time because I had just been diagnosed with XXXX and the need was for a reliable vehicle to get back and forth to XXXX treatments. 
Over the next two years we went into foreclosure 3 times. We paid over XXXX to Liberty in fines, fees and interest. Every time we requested help from the company, we were repeatedly ignored or dismissed by XXXX XXXX. He intentionally targeted us and never gave us the same treatment as others. I requested a breakdown of fees and fines and costs only to be told he didn't have it in the system anymore and to ask their attorney for the breakdown. The attorney sent me back to liberty where he typed one up that didn't make any sense or match. I requested a forbearance as well as leniency. Denied. 
It wasn't until we contacted CFPB did they agree to " help ''. Their help was rewriting the loan for twice the original loan. There are fraudulent misappropriated money dealings, misleading loan documents that weren't and can not be explained, they have involved my mother in law now and have publicly embarrassed her as well as messed up some title work that they won't clear up. We have been charged for services that weren't rendered as well as not given paperwork on some new loan they have charged off. The first loan was satisfied yet never reported to the credit bureau. Our credit has been ruined and we feel humiliated and in fear of losing our home. We have offered numerous times payments but they will not be reasonable. I even tried to pay XXXX today in which I was denied. They are aware of mine and my husband 's serious health issues yet there is no consideration. As it stands now we owe XXXX dollars for a XXXX loan. 6 months ago we paid XXXX and it does not reflect

As of today, XX/XX/2023 Thursday, I am NOT allowed to log in to my account with Paypal at Paypal.com. I have used this service for probably 20 years. It is currently active and within the last months have charged purchases through XXXX which are charged to my credit card. 
Today, XX/XX/2023 I tried to log in to my account using my email address of long standing to examine questionable transaction charged to my bank account. HOWEVER, it now demands that I give them my cell phone number and will not log me in without it. Their web page does NOT provide an option to skip it. I am stuck. 
They do NOT have a right to have this information. I do NOT want them to have it. They have NO valid justification to require it. This is a violation of privacy.

And what if one does not have a cell phone number? Permanently locked out.

Further, the Paypal terms of service " Paypal User Agreement '' does NOT require the user to furnish their cell phone number. It says : " If you provide us your mobile phone number ... '' So they are violating their own terms.

Im submitting a complaint to you today to inform you I was the victim of identity theft. I researched on how to remove the fraudulent account in my report and found that I need to visit FEDERAL TRADE COMMISION or https : //www.ftc.gov to file a report and Per FCRA section 605b Credit Reporting Agencies are required to update any accounts listed on an id theft report. Please find the ATTACHED documents to assist in the updating of the erroneous information which is being posted to my report. I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to update the accounts. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not update the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the Dispute Letter they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the Dispute Letter ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy... Here is the list of accounts/items which do not belong to me or were opened without my permission.

I dispute the inaccurate reporting status on my XXXX XXXX  account, which is negatively affecting my credit profile. The account in question is currently listed as " Payment after charge off/collection Settled - less than full balance. '' I wish to bring to your attention that this matter has already been settled, and as a result, the payment status should not indicate " In Collections '' or " Charge-off. '' I kindly request that you promptly investigate this issue and update the reporting status to reflect the accurate account status. The inaccuracies in the current reporting status are misleading and are having a significantly adverse impact on my creditworthiness. I want to emphasize that the account in question has already been resolved through a settlement agreement. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is crucial for the information reported to be fair, accurate, and up-to-date. Section 623 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) states : ( a ) Duty of furnishers of information to provide accurate information ( 1 ) Prohibition ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors. 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 the information is inaccurate. In light of this legal requirement, I kindly request that you take the necessary steps to rectify the inaccuracies in the reporting of my XXXXXXXX XXXX account. Please update the status to accurately reflect that the account has been settled and is no longer in collections or charged off. I really do appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a timely resolution. Thank you for your prompt action in resolving this dispute.

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding their violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I recently financed my auto loan with XXXX and have encountered significant discrepancies in the reporting of my payment history to the credit bureaus. 

My car loan was initiated at the end of XXXX, and my first payment was scheduled for XX/XX/2023. However, upon making a payment on XX/XX/2023, covering both XXXX and XXXX, I noticed that there have been no updates about these payments reported to any of the three major credit bureaus. 

This oversight is a clear violation of the FCRA, which mandates that accurate and timely information be reported by lenders to credit bureaus. I am deeply concerned about the potential negative impact this issue may have on my credit score and financial reputation. 

I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with XXXX XXXX XXXX, but regrettably, my efforts have not yielded any positive results. The lack of responsiveness and inaction on their part has led me to escalate this matter to your esteemed agency. 

I kindly request your immediate attention to this issue and the initiation of an investigation into XXXX XXXX XXXX 's non-compliance with the FCRA. I believe that by taking appropriate action, we can rectify the inaccurate reporting and prevent any further harm to my credit standing. 

Thank you for your prompt assistance in resolving this matter. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require any further information.
