Since the credit reporting agencies are liable for furnishing these alleged debts on my consumer report has violated my right to privacy by furnishing private information about me without any lawful authority or my written consent. All consumer reporting agencies, must follow reasonable procedures pursuant to 15 U.S.Code 1681 ( b ). The reasonable procedures were not followed and this a violation of 15 U.S.Code 1681 ( b ). These reported information is only based solely on transaction and experiences between I, the consumer and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. This is a violation of 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ). A consumer must be given a chance to direct whether they want the information about a transaction to be reported or not. This is referenced in the Gramm-Leach Billey Act. I was not given the chance to opt-out of having these reported information about XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX not being reported and is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( iii ) and must be removed. I am aware a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report in accordance with the written instructions from the consumer to whom it relates. Please provide the written instructions that I, the consumer gave to XXXX, XXXX and EQUIFAX which has authorized this furnished account. If you can not provide me with these instructions written by me prior to this notice XXXX, XXXX and EQUIFAX, which constitutes aggravated identity theft in accordance with 18 U.S.Code 1028A. The accounts XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX must be removed. I am aware pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( a ) maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations under section 1681c which includes violations of permissible purposes, and affiant is aware, no consumer reporting agency can furnish a consumer report to any person without the following all the purposes listed in section 1681b of this title 15. Any person, which includes an organization such as XXXX, XXXX and EQUIFAX who willfully and knowingly obtains information on a consumer, like I, from another consumer reporting agency, without the written instructions or authorization pursuant to 1681b is information obtained under false pretenses. You have no lawful authority and this is a crime under Title 18 and fines are described within 18 U.S.Code 3571. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of as consumer. I lost my job, apartment and car and this being furnished on my consumer report is only making the process more harder than what it already is not being able to be approved for anything I apply for. These accounts is adversely affecting my consumer report and costing me thousands of dollars in interest every year, this is not a regular dispute. I will file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commision for identity theft pursuant to 15 U.S.C 1681a ( q ) ( 3 ) and Regulation V 12 CFR 1022.3 is a fraud committed or attempted using the identifying information of another person without authority. Please remove this account or identity theft will be investigated by the FTC. I need this problem fixed ASAP. I demand these account to be deleted immediately or I will litigation due to the stress you caused me.
