Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Missouri Laws Dear DISCOVERBANK, I am writing to address a blatant violation 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 ), and Missouri state identity theft and credit reporting laws, specifically Section 570.223 of the Missouri Revised Statutes. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that DISCOVERBANK 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 consumers consent is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 

In addition to federal law, Missouris identity theft statutes, particularly Section 570.223, criminalize the unauthorized use of personal identifying information, including the illegal access, use, or dissemination of personal data for fraudulent purposes. This includes unauthorized credit reporting that impacts a consumers financial standing. 

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

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that DISCOVERBANK immediately ceases 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 Missouri state law under Section 570.223. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including Missouris identity theft statutes. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri law. 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 DISCOVERBANK will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: American First Finance, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because American First Finance ( AFF ) has inaccurately reported information on my credit report for over a year, causing significant harm to my creditworthiness and financial situation. Specifically, AFF has reported multiple " charge-offs '' for the same account ( Account # XXXX ), which I believe is inaccurate and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Details : I originally had an account with AFF ( Account # XXXX ), which has been reported on my credit report. 

American First Finance has been reporting the account as charged off for over 16 consecutive months. This is inaccurate, as a charge-off should be reported only once, not repeatedly each month. 

The continuous reporting of this account as charged off has significantly damaged my credit score and led to multiple credit denials. 

I sent a notice of dispute to American First Finance regarding the inaccurate reporting of these charge-offs. 

American First Finance responded to my dispute and validated the debt, stating that they are reporting the account correctly. However, I believe they are continuing to report inaccurate information, as the same charge-off is being reported monthly, making it appear as though the account is repeatedly delinquent. 

The prolonged reporting of these inaccuracies has caused emotional distress and financial harm due to my inability to secure credit.
