Experian, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Dear CFPB, I am filing this formal complaint regarding several violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by credit reporting agencies and debt buyers. These violations include inaccurate reporting of charge-offs, unauthorized inquiries, incorrect personal information ADDRESS NAMES, and errors that continue to harm my credit profile. Despite my efforts to resolve these matters directly, the violations remain unaddressed. I seek your intervention to enforce the law and hold the responsible parties accountable. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Re : Violations of Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) I recently got a copy of my consumer file and noticed that there was inaccurate information. According to the FCRA you must be reporting 100 % correct information at all times and that is not what my credit file reflects at this time. You have 30 days to remove the personal information listed in this letter. I am also requesting you to provide me with the furnisher of this information or where you got this information from. Please PERMANENTLY REMOVE the following. 
This letter serves as a demand for immediate corrective actions, including the removal of inaccurate information from my credit report and the imposition of appropriate fines and penalties for your non-compliance.the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S. Code 1692. I demand immediate corrective actions, including the removal of inaccurate information, imposition of fines, and enforcement of compliance with relevant laws You are referring to a portion of 15 U.S. Code 1681c ( a ), which outlines restrictions on the inclusion of certain types of information in consumer reports. Here 's a rewritten version of the relevant clause with clarity on what consumer reporting agencies can not include : Consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from including in a consumer report any adverse items of information ( other than records of convictions of crimes ) that are older than 7 years. This includes adverse financial data such as : Accounts sent to collections. 
Charged-off accounts. 
Any other negative financial information. 
However, records of convictions of crimes are an exception to this rule and may be reported beyond the 7-year limitation.

This provision ensures that outdated and irrelevant negative information ( except criminal convictions ) does not unfairly impact a consumer 's creditworthiness or access to opportunities.

Here 's a clear summary : 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) - Duty of Furnishers to Provide Accurate Information 1. Prohibition on Reporting Inaccurate Information : A furnisher ( such as a creditor or lender ) can not knowingly furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if : The information is inaccurate. 
The furnisher has reason to believe the information is inaccurate. 
2. Obligation to Update and Correct Information : If the furnisher discovers that previously provided information is inaccurate or incomplete, they must : Promptly correct or update the information.

Notify all consumer reporting agencies to which the inaccurate information was furnished. 
INCORRECT NAMES XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This section ensures that entities providing data to credit bureaus uphold accuracy and transparency, reducing the risk of harm to consumers due to incorrect information on their credit reports. Would you like further details or help crafting a notice or dispute related to this? 
Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), it is explicitly prohibited for any person to furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if : The information relates to a transaction or experience ( e.g., payment history ) that the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe involves an illegal activity.

This includes any dealings or transactions, such as reporting payment history or account activities, that are associated with unlawful conduct. Reporting such information is considered a violation of federal law and undermines the integrity of consumer reporting. 
Let me know if you need help drafting this into a formal letter or document! 
Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( f ), the illegal reporting of inquiries refers to the prohibition of accessing or furnishing consumer reports for impermissible purposes. Here 's how this applies : Illegal Reporting of Inquiries : A consumer reporting agency or any person shall not obtain or use a consumer report unless : 1. The report is requested for a permissible purpose as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( e.g., credit applications, employment, insurance underwriting ). 
2. The requester has a legitimate business need for the information, authorized by the consumer or required by law.

If an inquiry appears on a consumer 's credit report without a valid permissible purpose or the consumer 's authorization, this constitutes illegal reporting of inquiries. Such unauthorized inquiries can harm a consumer 's credit score or appear as misuse of their personal information. 

Would you like help drafting a dispute letter to address unauthorized inquiries or further explanation of permissible purposes?

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 604 ) ( a ), a consumer report may only be furnished for permissible purposes, such as when there is a direct contractual relationship or when the consumer has provided explicit written consent. In my case, I did not authorize these inquiries. The continued presence of these inquiries violates the FCRA, and they must be deleted immediately.

Violations of 15 U.S. Code 1681b Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports The credit reporting agencies have violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 604 ) ( a ) by furnishing my consumer report to third-party debt buyers who do not have a valid contract with me. I have not authorized these parties to access or report on my credit file, yet their erroneous entries, including charge-offs and other derogatory marks, continue to appear on my report. 
2. Violations of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) Responsibilities of Furnishers of Information Creditors and debt collectors, who have no valid contractual relationship with me, have continued to report charge-off accounts that have been sold to third parties. These furnishers are violating 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) by reporting inaccurate and outdated information, which misrepresents the status of the debts. Once an account has been sold, the original creditor no longer has the legal standing to report it as active.

Reporting Charge-Offs which is Income Violations of 15 U.S. Code 1681c Creditors have unlawfully reported charge-off amounts as income, which is explicitly prohibited under 15 U.S. Code 1681c. This practice is not only misleading but also illegal, as it distorts the accuracy of my financial records. Such actions are further compounded by the failure to update the information to reflect that the debts have been sold, which results in a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1666.

No Valid Contract with Debt Buyers Violations of 15 U.S. Code 1681b Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b, consumer reporting agencies and creditors may only report information backed by a valid contract with the consumer. Debt buyers reporting my accounts have no such legal standing, as I never entered into any agreement with these third-party collectors. Therefore, their continued reporting is a violation of the FCRA and a clear breach of federal law. 
5. Violations of 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Ensuring Accuracy in Reporting Credit reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum accuracy of the information they report under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ). However, the continued inclusion of inaccurate charge-off accounts, misreported debts, and outdated information on my credit report demonstrates their failure to comply with this legal obligation.

6. Adverse Information Reporting Violations of 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 5 ) The reporting of adverse information, including sold charge-offs, violates 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 5 ). Adverse information can not be reported without ensuring it reflects the accurate status of the account. The failure to update my report with correct information constitutes a blatant violation of the FCRA. 
7. Violations of 15 U.S. Code 1692b ( 5 ), 1692d ( 2 ), and 1692c ( a ) FDCPA Violations The debt collectors in question have also violated the Fair Debt Collection I 3. Sold Charge-Offs Reported by Original Creditors Violations of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) Creditors are prohibited from reporting debts they no longer own under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ). However, several sold charge-off accounts are still being reported as though they are owned by the original creditor. This misrepresentation misleads credit reporting agencies and potential lenders, violating both the FCRA and my consumer rights. These accounts should be immediately removed, and the creditors should face fines for this violation.
