Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602 ( a ), Congress mandates that consumer reporting agencies ( such as XXXX and Experian ) fulfill their roles with " fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. '' As a consumer, I have a legal right to ensure my private information remains confidential. In support of this, 15 U.S.C. 6801 specifies that every financial institution is obligated to uphold the security and confidentiality of its clients ' nonpublic personal information.

Per 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies may only disclose a consumer report with the written consent of the consumer. Neither XXXX, Experian, nor any data furnishers have my explicit consent to share my information, whether the consent is written, implied, verbal, or otherwise ; therefore, any previously assumed consent is now formally revoked. Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( b ) ( c ) asserts that no financial institution may disclose nonpublic personal information to third parties without providing the consumer a clear option to opt-outa right which I have not been informed of, nor have I been given the opportunity to exercise this option.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), it is prohibited for any consumer reporting agency to report adverse information older than seven years, except for criminal convictions. Reporting any adverse information that does not meet these criteria, particularly without my authorization, is a violation of federal law. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) holds that a person must not furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know, or should reasonably know, the information is inaccurate.

Under these protections and regulations, including 12 CFR 1016.7, I am formally exercising my right to opt-out of all reporting services and any further disclosure of my information.

This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above-named Title and Section. I respectfully request your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. 
At this time, I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the XXXX major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX ), this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the FCRA Violation of the FDCPA Defamation of Character If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information, during which time all collection activity must cease and desist.

This includes any listing of any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated.

( OPTIONAL CEASE & DESIST ) I would also like to request, in writing, that your offices make no further telephone contact to my home or place of employment.

All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter. 
It would be advisable that you and your client assure that your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action.
