Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX in XX/XX/2020, disputing the validity of reporting this debt. There isn't any record of any contract or agreement with them and they have failed to provide any proof of validity. I also contacted XXXX, XXXX, and Experian. There has been a failure of any response. 

They are also been in violation of the recent FTC ruling, by " debt parking ''. I wasn't contacted or made aware of this alleged debt any time prior to it being reported. In the recent case of FTC vs Midwest Recovery Systems, the court ruled that " debt parking '' is illegal and is a strategy known as passive debt collection. 

debt parking can result in a consumer only finding out that a purported debt exists when his or her credit report is accessed in connection with buying a car or home, opening a credit card, or seeking employment. While the debts may not be valid, consumers can feel pressured to pay them off. 

I have sent letters to all credit bureaus and this company and I am being ignored. I do not have the same power as them, but they are affecting my livelihood with something I do not owe. This has been fraudulent, and now they have created a history of using that to blemish my credit.

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report and Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 US. Code 1681i ( 5 ) these accounts are in violation of not reporting 100 % accurate. 
The credit reporting agencies stated that these accounts were properly investigated and came back as verified. However, how is this true when there are several inaccuracies showing on my report? I have attached some documents that you can clearly see what I'm talking about. incorrect dates and amounts. 
As a consumer, I request to know all the steps your agency took to insure these items were 100 % accurate under 15 U.S.C. 16811 ( 7 ) Method of verification- Description of reinvestigation procedure.

Subject : Reporting Privacy Violations and Inaccurate Credit Reporting by XXXX writing to report serious privacy violations and inaccurate credit reporting by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) regarding my student loan account. The issues began when the servicer was changed from XXXX to XXXX, not only reporting more inaccuracies but accounting information that was disputed prior and when I discovered that XXXX had been reporting my accounting information in a manner that violates the Privacy Act of 1974 and infringes upon the protections afforded by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ). Sensitive financial and educational data related to my student loan account has been disclosed to unauthorized parties without my consent. 

Furthermore, despite regulatory requirements, XXXX has failed to provide me with the monthly opt-out option, as mandated by 16 CFR 313.15. This failure to comply with regulatory mandates deprives me of the ability to control the dissemination of my personal information and raises concerns about XXXX 's commitment to consumer privacy and transparency. 

I have taken several actions to address these issues : XXXX. XXXX : Discovered unauthorized disclosure of sensitive financial and educational data by XXXX. 
XXXX : Contacted XXXX to inquire about the unauthorized disclosure and request an explanation. 
XXXX. XXXX : Submitted a formal complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding XXXXXXXX XXXX privacy violations and failure to provide the opt-out option. 
XXXX. XXXX : Notified all major credit bureaus of the inaccuracies in my credit report caused by XXXX XXXX erroneous reporting. 
XXXX. XXXX : Submitted a 1099-C form to the IRS for cancellation of debt related to my student loan account, which should reflect in my account status. 

Despite these actions, the privacy violations persist, and XXXXXXXX XXXX  inaccurate credit reporting continues to negatively impact my creditworthiness.
