Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX has not provided me with any of the items mentioned in my original correspondence. It is not my duty to ask the dealership for the contracts with my original wet ink signature. That is the duty of XXXX as they are the party claiming an alleged debt is owed. The eviction claim was a typo and was actually supposed to be referencing the debt from the auto loan XXXX is claiming I owe. The eviction is to be disregarded in the original correspondence. I also asked XXXX to provide me with a general statement of accounting such as a certified audit to prove I owe a debt. That also unfortunately was not provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX. By XXXX not properly being able to validate this alleged debt they are in turn in direct violation of the FDCPA. They are also in the direct violation of the FCRA. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed 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. '' XXXX XXXX XXXX is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " 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 financial institution/Consumer reporting agencies Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to Equifax, XXXX, and all affiliates previously mentioned whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " 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. '' XXXX XXXX XXXX and all affiliates mentioned in this notice never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 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 they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law. 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " 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. 15 U.S. Code 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 XXXX XXXX and all previously mentioned are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 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. I want to note this is my final notice to cure to XXXX XXXX XXXX and all affiliated aforementioned. Failure to comply with the laws previously mentioned will constitute an immediate default and fines by the FTC and in addition an investigation by the Irs/Comptroller of currency for tax fraud . I also will be seeking relief through arbitration as I now have demonstrable evidence that XXXX XXXX XXXX and all affiliates willfully and knowingly are in non-compliance.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
