Complaint narrative:
This is in reference to : XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Account ending in XXXX Balance due : {$3300.00} XXXX trust this message finds you well. I've been reviewing my credit report and came across some information that raised a few questions. In my exploration, I delved into the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 USC 1681, section 602, which highlights the need for consumer reporting agencies to exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumers ' right to privacy.

As a consumer, I've been thinking about my rights and responsibilities in this context. According to 15 USC 6801, it is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and protect the security and confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information.

Digging deeper, I found 15 USC 1681, section 604, which outlines the circumstances under which a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report. It explicitly mentions that they can do so only in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I want to emphasize that I haven't given any written consent for the sharing of my information, and this concerns me.

Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) notes that a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a non-affiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how they can exercise the nondisclosure option. To my knowledge, I have not been informed of such an option.

I also stumbled upon 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), which states that no consumer reporting agency may make a consumer report containing adverse information without authorization. It appears that an adverse item is being reported without my permission, which, according to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A, is against the law.

The Act further mandates that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of the statute. Unfortunately, it seems that XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX may not be following these guidelines, as indicated in 15 U.S. Code 1681e.

Lastly, I discovered in 12 CFR 1016.7 that a consumer has the right to opt out of reporting services at any time. I'm choosing to exercise that right.

I wanted to bring these specific sections of the Act to your attention and discuss how we can address these concerns. Your insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/, I paid my account in full. Customer Service notified me that we would need to cancel my scheduled payment for XXXX, so that I could instead submit a payment for the full payoff amount. Customer service took my payment over the phone by visa debit card. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) confirming the account was paid in full. I received the title with release of lien dated XX/XX/XXXX. Despite being paid in full, when checking my credit report, the account showed as delinquent for XXXX, and showed an unpaid balance with the credit bureaus. I called XXXX several times, and filed disputes with the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus provided the copy of the title and the letter as part of the dispute, submitted the dispute to XXXX who subsequently rejected the dispute. I called XXXX again, and was then promised by their escalation team that it would be removed from the credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. We are now the XXXX of XXXX and not only has the XXXX delinquency not been removed, but now XXXX is reporting another delinquency for the month of XXXX. I made an additional attempt to resolve this with XXXX today by phone. They continue to state theyve already escalated this internally, and yet nothing has been done to this date to resolve it. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).
