Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Notice of Violations and Request for Remediation Dear Online Information Services, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention clear violations of both federal and state laws in the manner XXXX XXXX XXXX has handled my credit information. 

It has come to my notice that unauthorized items have been reported to my credit report without my explicit consent, constituting a serious breach of privacy and identity fraud. This action violates FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ), Ohio Revised Code ( ORC ) Section 1349.19, and ORC Section 1349.191. 

Furthermore, the unauthorized reporting is adversely affecting my creditworthiness, and I assert that even in the case of a permissible purpose, my explicit consent is a necessity, as outlined in FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ) and ORC Section 1349.19. 

I am formally demanding the immediate removal of this unauthorized and unverifiable item from my credit report, in clear violation of FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Ohio Revised Code Section 1349.19, and ORC Section 1349.191. I expect this to be done within 30 days from the receipt of this complaint, as stipulated by FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) and Ohio state law. Failure to comply within the specified timeframe will be considered willful noncompliance, subject to legal consequences. 

Moreover, I insist on Online Information Service providing a written document that proves I, as the consumer, have granted explicit permission for your agency to access my consumer profile. This failure to obtain consent is a direct violation of FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ) and ORC Section 1349.19. 

This correspondence serves as a formal notice of violations, and I expect prompt action to remedy these breaches of federal and state laws. Failure to address and rectify these issues will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and demand a swift resolution to ensure the accuracy and integrity of my credit report. 

Done in good faith.
