Complaint narrative:
Accounts in Question : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So, whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed there was a collection on my credit report that needs to be deleted off report immediately.

XXXX AND XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX did not disclose to me the consumer that the information reported would be disclosed to the third party the consumer reporting agencies. XXXX AND XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX MOBILITY ), did not give me an opportunity to direct such information is not disclosed. XXXX AND XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, did not give me the consumer an explanation of how I could exercise the non-disclosure option. The law basically states if all 3 of these disclosures were not provided to me that this is a direct violation of the law and I have the right to exercise opting out. All these 3 disclosures were not met ; therefore, I am demanding to opt out of having my information reported and demanding the reporting information to be DELETED from my consumer report.

I will move for a complaint for small claims for default judgment due to your violations. Per 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information, the credit reporting agency SHALL remove any account off my consumer report :
