Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my credit report, I noticed that there remain a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX listed on my credit report per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. The original creditor, in this case would be the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or third-party providers who collect information regarding public cases. Public records information is NEVER validated by the recorder of Deeds nor the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  due to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX PRIVACY LAW. You, CRA, ARE BREAKING THE LAW AND ARE COMMITTING FRAUD AS YOU NEVER VALIDATED OR VERIFIED THESE PUBLIC RECORD ENTRIES ON MY CREDIT REPORT. WHICH IS A VIOLATION OF 15 USC 1681A ( E ). An investigative consumer report is when any portion of which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information.

These Consumer Reporting Agencies have continued to defame my character, as well as with their continued identity theft since I have never given written authorization to share any of my personal information, including BANKRUPTCY to any third party entities. This reporting has caused grave harm not only to my character, by causing humiliation, stress, health issues, problems in my marriage, and paying higher interest rates for insurance, etc. According to the Nevada XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX- they do not report bankruptcies to any consumer reporting agencies and the information is only available in XXXX. So these unscrupulous consumer reporting agencies go digging for consumer 's private information just to sell for a profit off of our misfortunes and hardships, just to keep us a slave to subprime higher interest lending tactics. When I call to have something resolved they act like they can not verify me, and YET they see the information on their end, and they continue to send documents to my home address.

You are also violating 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) considering you do NOT have my consent to furnish any information. Additionally, pursuant to 15 USC 1681c ( a ) Bankruptcy information is Excluded from the consumer 's report.

15 U.S. Code 1681a outlines the rules of construction of the term consumer reporting agency, consumer and consumer report. The term consumer report means any written, oral, or other communication of any information by a consumer reporting agency bearing on a consumers credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living ( 2 ) Exclusions ( A ) ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; Reporting Transaction history is illegal 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

They need your written consent to add anything to your consumer report if you did not give this authorization that is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act P.L 90-321 ( 82 Stat. 146 ) which is law that backs the code is even stricter as it states that any agency can only get your report in response to a request by the head of a State or local child support enforcement agency ( or a State or local government official authorized by the head of such an agency ) 15 U.S. Code 1681c - Requirements relating to information contained in consumer reports Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years.

No adverse item besides the conviction of crimes should be on your report any item that is a derogatory mark is not allowed into consumer reports this is another violation According to 15 U.S. Code 1681n, willful noncompliance with the FCRA results in significant civil liabilities. Willful violations can entail compensation of at least {$1000.00} per violation, in addition to any damages incurred due to noncompliance with the law. Continued violations after the initial complaint clearly demonstrate awareness of wrongdoing and disregard for consumer rights. Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681o, negligent noncompliance also leads to liabilities for any damages resulting from the failure to comply. I implore you to promptly rectify these inaccuracies in my consumer report, failing which, legal action will be pursued to ensure compliance with the FCRA and to obtain justice and compensation as entitled under these laws.
