Complaint narrative:
I am a federally protected consumer and I HAVE RIGHTS clearly outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am aware of MY RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ). 

This is I XXXX XXXX writing this letter and NOT a third-party agency. PLEASE, DO NOT SEND ME A COMPUTER-GENERATED RESPONSE LETTER, THAT WOULD NOT BE A RESONABLE PROCEDURE AND WOULD CONSTITUTE A WILFULL VIOLATION detailed in 15 USC 1681n , that could lead to even more damages up to {$1000.00} implied and MUCH MORE when actual damages occur. 

I am attempting to settle this inaccurate matter privately, NOW. 


I received a copy of my credit report ( XXXX ) from XXXX and XXXX and noticed an account that needs to be IMMEDIATELY DELETED. They are as follows : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX have violated my consumer rights and violated federal law ; I have proof in 15 USC 1681B ( 2 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which is noted below, 15 USC 1681B ( 2 ) PERMISSABLE PURPOSE of consumer reports, THE LAW CLEARY STATES : ( a ) In general 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.

I did NOT give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. 
You have not only violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, but your agency has committed aggravated identity theft and I've sustained defamation of character just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 
XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX that is reporting the collection, has violated my consumer right as well, which is noted below in 15 USC 6802, so you are both liable for a lawsuit in conspiring against me if this matter doesnt get resolved privately now. 
XXXX5 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information, THE LAW CLEARLY STATES : ( b ) Opt out ( 1 ) In general A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is explained how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. 
A. XXXX XXXX XXXX did not disclose to me the consumer that the information reported would be disclosed to the third party the consumer reporting agencies. 
XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  did not give me an opportunity to direct such information is not disclosed. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX did not give me the consumer an explanation of how I could exercise the non-disclosure option. 
The law basically states if ALL XXXX of these disclosures were not provided to me that this is a direct violation of the law and I have the right to exercise OPTING OUT. 
ALL these XXXX disclosures were NOT MET ; therefore, I am demanding to OPT OUT of having my information reported and demanding the reporting information to be DELETED from my consumer report OR I will seek to take legal action against your agency for willfully violating the law after I've clearly explained to you how you've violated me. MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS of 15 USC 1681n- willful non-compliance is well in play here, {$1000.00} per instance of implied damages and much more for actual damages as clearly outlined within the title.

Moreover, because both your agency AND THE REFERENCED CREDITORS have conspired against me collectively, you both violated my rights under 18 USC 241 which is noted below.

18 U.S. Code 241 - Conspiracy against rights, THE LAW CLEARLY STATES : If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same ; or If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both ; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, XXXX XXXXXXXX abuse or an attempt to commit XXXX XXXXXXXX abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to XXXX 
You have 14 days to respond to upon receipt of this letter to DELETE the referenced items and send me a new letter notifying me that the information has been DELETED from all consumer reporting agencies and mail me a new copy of my report or I may be seeking legal action against your agency for these damages.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
