Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal complaint against Innovis Consumer Assistance for illegally reporting inaccurate, misleading, and unverifiable information on my credit report. 

Innovis has furnished false and damaging information without my authorization, which is a clear violation of federal law. I did not give Innovis permission to collect, use, or share my personal or financial information. Their actions are unlawful and directly violate several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other consumer protection laws. 

Specifically, Innovis is in violation of : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : For failing to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) : For failing to properly investigate and correct disputed information within the legally required timeframe.

Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681b : For obtaining and sharing my consumer report information without a permissible purpose or proper authorization.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), 15 U.S.C. 6801-6809 : For improperly disclosing my nonpublic personal information without my consent, violating my financial privacy rights. 

I have previously notified Innovis Consumer Assistance of these inaccuracies and attached a detailed dispute letter highlighting every discrepancy. Attached is a copy of that letter for your review. Despite this notice, Innovis has failed to correct the false information, further proving their reckless disregard for consumer rights and federal legal requirements.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is a follow-up to a previous CFPB complaint I filed on XX/XX/year> regarding an unauthorized hard credit inquiry by U.S. Bank ( original case number : XXXX ). 

In their response dated XX/XX/year>, U.S. Bank claimed that I provided electronic consent for both a soft and hard credit inquiry when I applied for a prequalification, not a preapproval, for a mortgage loan. They included a PDF summary report from XXXX  that claims I gave electronic consent, but it does not include any signed or dated consent form, screenshot of what I saw, or specific evidence of my authorization. This is not sufficient proof under the FCRA that I knowingly authorized a hard inquiryespecially since I was told in writing by a U.S. Bank representative that only a soft inquiry would occur. 

I was explicitly told via email that a hard credit inquiry would not be required for prequalification. I never authorized a hard pull and would not have proceeded had I known one would be performed. If any electronic consent was recorded, it was obtained without informed consent, and under the false impression that only a soft inquiry would be performed. 

U.S. Bank admitted that an update to the credit bureaus was necessary and claimed to have submitted a correction changing the inquiry from hard to soft. While I appreciate that step, I believe the original hard inquiry was a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) due to lack of proper authorization and misrepresentation. 

I am requesting that the CFPB : Require U.S. Bank to provide the actual record or screenshot of the alleged electronic consent for a hard credit inquiry. 

Review whether this consent was lawfully obtained, given the misleading communication I received. 

Ensure the credit bureaus remove the hard inquiry entirely and confirm that my credit score has been restored accordingly. 

Thank you for your continued support and oversight in this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
