Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

My complaint is to inform you of the grave violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Privacy Act of 1974 that have been committed by XXXX. These violations have caused substantial harm to my privacy and have infringed upon my consumer rights. I am seeking a remedy as prescribed by 15 USC 1681n to address the damages incurred. 

The specific violations are as follows : 1. Violations of 15 USC 6802-6805 and the Privacy Act of 1974 : Unauthorized Sharing of Personal Information It has come to my attention that XXXX has unlawfully shared my personal information from XXXX XXXX XXXX without my consent or any legal basis, thereby violating my rights under 15 USC 6802-6805 and the Privacy Act of 1974. This unauthorized sharing of my personal information has resulted in a breach of my privacy, causing distress and concern. I strongly urge XXXX to immediately cease any further sharing of my personal information and take appropriate measures to prevent such unauthorized disclosures in the future.

2. Violation of 15 USC 1681A ( 2 ) ( 1 ) : Improper Disclosure of Experiences and Transactions In addition to the aforementioned violations, I have discovered that XXXX has improperly disclosed my experiences and transactions from XXXX XXXX XXXX  in XX/XX/XXXX. This disclosure of sensitive personal information without my consent is a clear violation of 15 USC 1681A ( 2 ) ( 1 ). I demand that XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX take immediate action to rectify this violation and ensures that my experiences and transactions are not further disclosed without lawful justification. Attached below is a screen shot of the violation as well as proof that all three consumer reporting agencies are reporting the same account differently which is an additional violation under 15 USC 1681.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NJ)

I've mailed a dispute letter to Experian after I've noticed several accounts and information that's reporting to my consumer report without my consent and which is also inaccurate or invalid. Experian is reporting an account that doesn't belong to me and reporting under multiple violations. How are they reporting a debt if there aren't any agreements by me to report it? How can I owe a debt if me and the creditor never had any existing agreements on a balance in order for this debt to occur? I have no knowledge of this company reporting this account in which Experian should be able to see that we haven't agreed on anything. Pursuant 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy, this account shouldn't be reporting.

Violations committed : 15 U.S. Code 6801 - Protection of nonpublic personal information 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IN)

I am writing to report a concerning issue related to fraudulent inquiries on my credit report. I recently discovered unauthorized credit inquiries that have been made in my name without my consent or knowledge. 

These fraudulent inquiries have the potential to adversely affect my credit standing and overall financial well-being. I am deeply concerned about this situation and would like to request the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) in investigating and resolving this matter. 

I have contacted the credit reporting agencies, specifically TransUnion and XXXX to dispute these fraudulent inquiries. And they refuse to remove them. 

I believe that additional intervention is required to fully investigate and resolve this fraudulent activity. I kindly request that the CFPB assists in coordinating with the relevant agencies and institutions to identify the perpetrators and ensure that my consumer rights are upheld. 

I have attached copies of the fraudulent inquiries. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Please acknowledge receipt of this report and provide guidance on any further steps I should take to address these fraudulent inquiries. 

Thank you for your assistance in helping me resolve this issue.

Company: Cedars Business Services, LLC (KS)

In XX/XX/2021, XXXX XXXX made an offer by phone to purchase my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I requested an email confirmation. Several days passed no confirmation. After a week or so, I received a call wondering where their XXXX was. From the time we first spoke to the XXXX call, XXXX jumped in value. I assume it jumped XXXX XXXXXXXX since that is the disputed amount. XXXX XXXX did not make any form of payment for the XXXX. I did not send a XXXX. Because they did not confirm or pay, I considered the deal voided. They filed a collection report on my credit report. I demand that it be removed. There was no deal.
