Complaint narrative:
**Consumer Financial Protection Bureau*XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX **Subject : Opting Out of Credit Reporting and Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Privacy Act of 1974** **Account : XXXX XXXX XXXX* To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally opt out of any credit reporting on my consumer credit reports and to address violations of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681, and the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 USC 552a ).

As a federally protected consumer, I assert my right to privacy as outlined in the FCRA, 15 USC 1681a, and invoke my right to opt out of any reporting on my credit reports. Reporting my transaction history without my explicit consent is illegal and violates my rights under the FCRA.

According to 15 USC 1681b, I have never given written authorization to report personal information on my credit reports. Furthermore, P.L. 90-321 ( 82 Stat. 146 ) specifies that any agency can only access my report in response to a request by the head of a state or local child support enforcement agency.

In addition, 15 USC 1681c states that no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing adverse items of information other than records of convictions of crimes older than seven years. Any derogatory mark on my report is a violation of this section.

According to 15 USC 1681n, civil liability for willful noncompliance allows for damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} per violation. I can prove willful violations and am entitled to compensation.

The Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 USC 552a ), subsection ( b ), states that no agency shall disclose any record without prior written consent. I have never authorized such disclosures.

Per 12 CFR 1016.1 ( Regulation P ), I have the right to opt out of disclosures to nonaffiliated third parties. Companies must provide a privacy notice and comply with opt-out requests promptly, as per 12 CFR 1016.4 and 1016.7. I have not been given the opportunity to opt out of any reporting. Additionally, 15 USC 6802 requires opt-out notices for any information added to my consumer reports. 
Given these violations, I request the removal and deletion of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account reporting on my credit reports. This is an opt-out notice and removal request, not a validation or verification of debt. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> Dear Equifax, I am writing to assert my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in response to the inclusion of an inaccurate and unverifiable tradeline on my credit report. The tradeline in question pertains to an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a company with which I have never had any business relationship. 

This erroneous entry on my credit report not only violates the FCRA but also contravenes consumer protection laws, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692c and 18 U.S.C. 1028 ( a ), which explicitly prohibit the inclusion of unverifiable information and information obtained through aggravated identity theft on consumer reports. 

I wish to emphasize that I have never engaged in any transactions with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor do I possess any knowledge of how they obtained my personal information. The presence of this unverifiable and inaccurate information on my credit report has severely hindered my ability to access credit and other financial services. 

In accordance with my rights under the FCRA, I demand that Equifax promptly initiate an investigation into this matter and expeditiously remove the inaccurate tradeline from my credit report. I require documentation verifying the information attributed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX within 30 days of the receipt of this letter. Should Equifax fail to verify the accuracy of this information, it must be promptly removed from my credit report. 

It is imperative to note that I have previously requested verification from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, who provided only copies of bills, failing to furnish the original application and the original address associated with the application at the time of submission. Furthermore, I have been a victim of identity theft and have duly informed all four consumer reporting agencies of this fact.

Given the repeated disputes I have lodged regarding this account and the failure to provide adequate verification, I insist that Equifax remove this account from my credit report within 15 days. Failure to comply with this demand will compel me to pursue legal recourse, including seeking putative damages for the violations stemming from the inaccurate reporting of this tradeline on my consumer report.

I anticipate your prompt attention to this matter and a timely resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I order - from Home Depot online - {$290.00} worth of baseboard. 

The delivery charge was {$35.00} Order was canceled within a short amount of time because local store did not have what I ordered. 

However, when called - I was told it would take up to 5 DAYS for refund to show up.

that is ridiculous this is HOME DEPOT. 

Think how much $ in interest they make off of these types of transactions!!! 

My credit card company said transaction was pending so I couldn't cancel it until there was a dispute.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX fraudulent charges were posted to my account and I notified Citi Bank and they credited about half of the charges and the remaining {$180.00} remained as a balance. The following month 's statement indicated late charged and interest were charged. In XXXX I wrote the company explaining that the balance plus interest and late fees need to be credited. I also contacted the company numerous times the staff either didn't understand the issue or chose not to resolve the issue. I filed a dispute with XXXX and XXXX and the {$180.00} was credited on the XX/XX/XXXX statement but there are {$160.00} late fees and {$78.00} in interest that has not been credited. 

CitiBank filed a 30 day late on this account and as a result all my credit lines were reduced. In essence, Citibank decimated my credit. All my bills have been paid on time if one would look at my report.

Complaint narrative:
I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.
