Company: Collections Acquisition Company, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding violations of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically FCRA 605B ( 15 USC 1681c-2 ). I have reported an identity theft incident and submitted a formal dispute to the XXXX major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ), accompanied by an FTC Identity Theft Report. Despite my attempts, all three bureaus have failed to respond to my correspondence or update my credit reports within the required timeframe of 30 days. 

Under FCRA 605B, I am entitled to have fraudulent information blocked from my credit reports after providing proper documentation, including proof of identity theft. However, my reports remain unchanged, and no actions have been taken to comply with federal law. This lack of response constitutes a violation of my rights as outlined in FCRA and related sections under 15 USC 6508, 68026805, 6881 regarding consumer privacy and data protection. 

I request immediate enforcement of my rights under the FCRA and prompt resolution of these failures to comply.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.
