Complaint narrative:
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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Arizona Laws Dear CHRYSLERCAP, I am writing to address the blatant violation of my rights regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report. This action is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), the Arizona Revised Statutes under Sections 44-3301 and 44-3303, and identity fraud laws, specifically Arizona Revised Statutes Section 13-2003.

It has unequivocally come to my attention that CHRYSLERCAP has already 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, Arizona state law, specifically Section 44-3301 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Furthermore, Section 44-3303 of the Arizona Revised Statutes establishes clear guidelines for the fair reporting of consumer credit information. Simultaneously, identity fraud laws, such as Arizona Revised Statutes Section 13-2003, underscore the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for CHRYSLERCAP 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 CHRYSLERCAP 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 Sections 44-3301 and 44-3303 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day 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, Arizona state law, and identity fraud 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 CHRYSLERCAP will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws.

Done in good faith.
