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

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Dear Consumer, Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report maintained by XXXX, XXXX, and Experian. I believe that these credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), by improperly reporting information about my account.

The disputed information is a late payment that was improperly reported on my credit report. These late payments is in direct violation of FCRA law and negatively impacted my credit score. 
I am requesting that the aforementioned credit bureaus immediately investigate this matter and correct the inaccurate information. I request that the late payment be removed from my credit report and replaced with a notation stating that the account is " paid as agreed '' or is in " good standing. '' I have attached copies of my credit reports for your reference. I am also enclosing supporting documentation that demonstrates the inaccuracy of the reported information. 
I understand that under the FCRA, I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that my credit report is accurate and complete. 
Furthermore, I would like to point out that according to 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) of the FCRA, a consumer report does not include : Information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; Communication of that information among persons related by common ownership or affiliated by corporate control ; or Communication of other information among persons related by common ownership or affiliated by corporate control, if it is clearly and conspicuously disclosed to the consumer that the information may be communicated among such persons and the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that the information is initially communicated to direct that such information not be communicated among such persons. The late payment reported on my credit report falls under the category of information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. As such, it should not be considered a consumer report and should be removed from my credit file.

I believe that this inaccurate information is in violation of the FCRA and is causing me significant harm. I request that the CFPB take immediate action to address this issue and ensure that my credit report is corrected. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

**Subject : Complaint Against Experian for Violations of FCRA and Privacy Act of 1974** Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally file a pre-arbitration complaint against Experian for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( ii ), and the Privacy Act of 1974. Experian has improperly included transaction histories, late payments, and credit utilization data in my credit report, which should be excluded under 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( ii ). This section, as outlined in 12 CFR 1022.3 ( c ), excludes transaction or experience information between the consumer and the reporting party from being included in a consumer report. 

Moreover, Experian has shared my transaction history with affiliated companies, including XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  account in violation of both the FCRA and the Privacy Act of 1974. 

I request that Experian update my credit report to reflect all transaction histories as zero and ensure that all accounts are reported as current. Experian has 30 days from the date of this letter to make these corrections. If these updates are not made within this timeframe, I will have no choice but to initiate electronic arbitration proceedings.

These actions by Experian represent a clear violation of the FCRA and the Privacy Act of 1974, negatively impacting my creditworthiness. I urge the CFPB to take immediate action to investigate these violations and ensure compliance with the legal standards set forth in these regulations. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Company: Aargon Agency, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and XXXX XXXX Laws Dear AARGON AGNCY, I am writing to address blatant violations regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), as well as identity fraud laws under XXXX XXXX state laws.

It has unequivocally come to my attention that AARGON AGNCY has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, Missouri state law emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. FurthermoreXXXX XXXX state law establishes clear guidelines for the fair reporting of consumer credit information. Simultaneously, identity fraud laws underscore the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for AARGON AGNCY to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws.

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that AARGON AGNCY immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and applicable Missouri state laws. Failure to comply within the stipulated XXXX timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state laws. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that AARGON AGNCY will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.
