ATTN : CFPB RE : Inaccurate Reporting XXXX XXXX XXXX I XXXX XXXX am filing this complaint against XXXX XXXX for reporting information inaccurately on my credit report. 
According to15 U.S. Code 1681- Congressional findings and statement of purpose : 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. 
According to 15 U.S. Code 6801 - Protection of nonpublic personal information ( a ) Privacy obligation policy 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.

According to 15 U.S. Code 1692e - False or misleading representations, A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section : ( 1 ) The false representation or implication that the debt collector is vouched for, bonded by, or affiliated with the United States or any State, including the use of any badge, uniform, or facsimile thereof. 
This is in reference to an account with XXXX XXXX beginning with # XXXX. I have provided proof of the inaccuracy attached to this claim. I have contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX numerous times, and they refuse to remove this inaccurate account from my credit report. This also is a violation of my Privacy under the Privacy Act of 1974. XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax are non-affiliated which violates 15 U.S. Code 6802. XXXX XXXX hasn't furnished a copy of my wet signature giving them permission to share my information with any non-affiliates. XXXX XXXX also hasn't provided a contract between us. 
This debt is a certificate of indebtedness and has been discharged. Income isn't supposed to be listed on a credit report. XXXX XXXX filed a 1099 to discharge the debt and failed to send me my 1099B copy from the IRS. This is security fraud and I request compensation.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address a matter of utmost urgency and express my vehement dissatisfaction with the erroneous information currently present on my credit report concerning XXXX XXXX, account number XXXX, opened on XX/XX/, reflecting a balance of {$0.00}. Contrary to the inaccuracies reported, I have never been late with XXXX XXXX, and they have acknowledged their mistake, agreeing to update the information. This is a blatant error on your part, and I demand the immediate correction of this misinformation. It is baffling and infuriating that XXXX has already complied with this correction request, recognizing the injustice I have faced. I am astounded that your credit reporting agency appears to be wilfully ignoring my legitimate requests, thus violating the law. The lack of compliance is not only unacceptable but raises serious concerns about your commitment to accurate reporting and adherence to legal standards. This is not a request ; it is a direct and forceful demand for the immediate update of the information concerning XXXX XXXX on my credit report. I expect confirmation of this correction within the shortest timeframe permissible under the law.

In accordance to the Fair Credit Reporting Act,  XXXX XXXX   has violated my consumer  rights.

 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.
 The credit bureaus have failed to keep my information private.

 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2: It also states a consumer reporting agency cannot furnish a account without my written instructions. I never gave nobody the permission to furnish anything on my account. So how is this information being reported?

15 U.S. Code  6802 A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party. I do not want my information shared with third parties.

15 U.S.C 1681 (2) A (i) the term consumer report does not include report containing information solely as to transactions or experience 
  If this is the case why is my report showing late payments

15 U.S. Code  1666b Acreditormay not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.
