Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (GA)

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ), there is a necessity to ensure that consumer reporting agencies carry out their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies, and I am the consumer. I have the right to ensure my private information is not shared, supported by 15 USC 6801, which states, " It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' The furnisher of information to credit agencies is considered a financial institution under this title.

15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) states, " In general, subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' The furnisher of information to credit agencies, XXXX, and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information, nor do they have my written consent. Any and all consent given to XXXX, XXXX, or the furnisher of information to credit agencies, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is revoked. According to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' The furnisher of information to credit agencies never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option.

Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states, " Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item being reported without my permission, which is against the law. According to 15 USC 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ), " 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. '' Furthermore, 15 USC 1681e states, " Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. '' XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Finally, 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AR)

When I checked my credit record, I discovered a lot of billing problems. Under the U.S. Code 1666 ( b ), billing errors include any computation errors or other accounting errors on a statement, as well as the creditor 's failure to appropriately reflect a statement, a payment made by the debtor, or a credit line extended to the debtor. There shouldn't be any late payments on these accounts because, as far as I'm aware, the creditor did not send me a statement 21 days earlier. Below is the list of the accounts I found to be reporting erroneous information on my Credit File : XXXX XXXX  Balance Owed : {$380.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$28000.00} XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$6800.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed XXXX {$10000.00}.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Strategic Alliances, Inc. (TX)

In XXXX I received a letter from a debt collector indicating I owed money. After requesting information about the specific loan and creditor, I learned the loan was from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX from 2021 in the amount of {$300.00} with interest accrued in the amount of {$310.00}. The paperwork listed my name under borrower signature ( though it is simply typed and not an actual signature ). The phone number associated with the account is not mine ( as I have had the same number for nearly 27 years ) and once I attempted to call it, learned it was out of service. There are no documents included showing my actual signature or any form of identification showing I was indeed the actual borrower ( no proof of DOB, Drivers License Number, address, or any other specific identifying information ) My credit report does not include an inquiry from this company nor does it show any outstanding balance. I've already contacted the debt collection agency disputing the debt and have a filed a complain with XXXX  as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX failed to show any due diligence in confirming the borrower was who they said they were. Furthermore, I never received any communication from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX in the course of the 15 months the loan was supposedly open and in default status. If I had to guess it would be because the contact information they were given at the time the loan was opened was fraudulent. It wasn't until it was sent to a debt collection agency that I learned of the loan. XXXX XXXX XXXX will need to seek out the actual borrower and cease communication with me including through debt collectors. I'm not paying a debt I didn't incur and want to know what documents XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX actually requested prior to lending {$300.00} to someone who claimed to be me.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA (DE)

I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue I have encountered in regards to the PHEAA XXXX XXXX XXXX. The purpose of this letter is to request an investigation into their fraudulent reporting practices and their addition of interest to a loan that has been canceled. 
I am a victim of this fraudulent reporting, as PHEAA has reported a loan on my consumer report that has been canceled. Furthermore, they have sent me a 1099B form acknowledging the cancellation and categorizing it as income, as per IRS guidelines. Despite this, they continue to report the loan on my consumer report, which is misleading and inaccurate. 
To provide a clear picture of the situation, I would like to outline the key points : XXXX. Loan Cancellation and 1099B : - The loan, which has been canceled, was acknowledged by PHEAA through the issuance of a 1099B form. 
- The cancellation of the loan makes it income, as stated by IRS guidelines. 
- I have attached a copy of the 1099B form for your reference. 
2. Fraudulent Reporting : - PHEAA XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to report the canceled loan on my consumer report. 
- This inaccurate reporting adversely affects my credit history and financial standing. 
- The reporting of the loan, along with the addition of interest, is misleading and deceitful. 

Enclosed with this letter, you will find a copy of the 1099B form for your review. I kindly request that you commence an investigation into the fraudulent reporting practices of PHEAA XXXX XXXX XXXX. Your intervention and resolution in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
