Complaint narrative:
The Credit Reporting Agency EQUIFAX is in violation of 15USC1681 ( 2 ) ( A ) for furnishing inaccurate accounts on my consumer reporting without notifying me 5 days prior along with 15USC 1681a ( 5 ) for not conducting a proper investigation and providing the requested original signed consumer agreement to the person ( s ) who furnished the accounts on my list of disputed items included my notice sent to them. Most of the accounts are well over 7 years reported and had no business being furnished due to the information being a result of IDENTITY THEFT without my written consent to contact any credit reporting agency. According to 15USC 1681 ( b ) ; permissible purpose of consumer reports, THE LAW CLEARLY STATES 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer whom it relates. I never gave these person ( s ) who contacted you with my nonpublic personal information written authorization or permissible purpose to furnish these accounts or any transactions on my report which indicates they used a means of identification of me without my permission. My consumer rights were violated from both parties and according to 15USC 1681E ( b ), which speaks on Maximum Accuracy of the Consumer Report, XXXX must remove this inaccurate information off of my consumer report or they will be liable for their willful noncompliance to the FCRA. The burden of proof of anything is not on me the consumer when they failed to ask each person for a signed consumer agreement before these incomplete accounts were reported like they were supposed to do, instead they just saw if the information was the same and considered it verified which does to validate any alleged debt on my report. Since the persons making the report to EQUIFAX, failed to provide me with all three of my privacy disclosures ( A-C ) with respect to such information being furnished to any third party pursuant to this section of the law ; USC 6802 Section ( b ) OPT OUT ( 1 ) InGeneralA financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) Such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party.
