An item that has resulted from fraud which I never benefitted from still appears on my report and you continue to put this false and fraudulent information on my credit. This is incredibly insulting and a defamation of my character, it's stressing me out knowing that my rights are being violated as a consumer. This is already reported to the Federal Trade Commission but nothing is removed.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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 ( XXXX ) 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is reporting XXXX Account Numbers XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, & XXXX as a charge-offs in the amounts of {$1300.00}, {$440.00}, {$740.00}, & {$210.00}, respectively.. My Rights. 15 U.S.C1681 section 602 A states I have the right to privacy. 15 U.S.C1681 section 604 A. section XXXX also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions. 15 U.S.C1681c. ( XXXX ) section states, a person shall not furnish any information relating to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or have reasonable cause that the information is inaccurate. The FCRA does not allow income to be reported on a consumer 's credit report because it violates privacy and income is not considered relevant for determining credit risk. Although the original creditor has already received a tax break for writing these XXXX accounts off as profit loss and reported said accounts to the XXXX  as my income ( via the XXXX that I never received ), the accounts continue to be reported as charge-offs on my credit file. The FCRA does not allow income to be reported on a consumer 's credit report The inaccurate representation of income as charge-offs on my credit report grounds me to seek statutory damages and/or the involvement of the XXXX. Due to said charge-offs on my credit report, recent loan and charge card applications were denied. Additionally, the inaccurate representation of income as charge-offs on my credit file prohibits me from purchasing a home, causing emotional distress.

I received a notice from Experian that I had updated my First Name, Middle Name and Last Name. I had not updated any of these. I logged onto my account to see that my first and last name were still correct but my middle name was not. I then : 1. Tried to correct the information on my account on Experian.com ; it would not allow me to do so. 
2. Called Experian at 3 different numbers ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) all of which were automated responses that could not help me and would not transfer me to a representative to correct my information. 
3. Chatted with a chat bot on XXXX which could not help me and recommended I FAX my information to them for help. 

I will not FAX personal information. Isn't that the reason there is fraud??!!!! Experian needs to have a better way for consumers to contact them in order to remedy these problems.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, CFPB is supposed to protect my consumer report from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices. 

15 U.S. Code 1692c - Communication in connection with debt collection ( a ), ( b ), ( c ). 

According to this law I haven't giving any such consent for any XXXX party companies to falsify my consumer report by acting as the original creditor and making false claims and statements including trying to collect a sum not owed to them. There were mistakes made that lead to falsifying my payments as late and accidentally turn over said accounts to collections when the accounts were paid on time and paid as agreed. The information on my consumer and credit report needs to reflect my current up-to-date payments and on time payments. 
I'm entrusting CFPB to properly rectify the situation but also requesting that my information is changed and updated to paid on time and as agreed and therefore there are no collections on my consumer report. Please ensure that these unfair, negative late payments show as PAID ON TIME/PAID AS AGREED. This needs to be done ASAP these XXXX unfair, deceptive, and or abusive practices is being done by the XXXX major credit bureaus allowing ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$1100.00} ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX. {$580.00} ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$1700.00}.
