State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am writing to address significant concerns related to potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by consumer reporting agencies, namely XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, as well as the financial institution, XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Citing 15 USC 1681 section 602a, it is emphasized that consumer reporting agencies bear the responsibility of exercising their duties with fairness, impartiality, and a profound respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. Simultaneously, 15 USC 6801 establishes Congress 's policy, stipulating that financial institutions, including XXXX XXXX XXXX, are obligated to affirmatively and continually respect the privacy of consumers and safeguard the security and confidentiality of nonpublic personal information. 
Referring to 15 USC 1681 section 604a section 2, it is underscored that consumer reporting agencies may only furnish a consumer report in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. As of this communication, neither XXXX XXXX XXXX nor the consumer reporting agencies, XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, possess my explicit written consent to furnish my information. 

In light of the above, I am formally revoking any and all authorizations, whether verbal, nonverbal, written, implied, or otherwise, that may have been granted to XXXX, XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX XXXX XXXX, as per 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ). Notably, XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to inform me of my right to exercise the nondisclosure option, as mandated by the same statute. 

Moreover, 15 USC 1681 ( c ) ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in a consumer report without proper authorization. The reported account constitutes an adverse item reported without my explicit permission, in violation of 15 USC 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( a ).

Under 15 USC 1681E, consumer reporting agencies are required to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations. It has come to my attention that XXXX may not be adhering to these prescribed standards.

In accordance with 12 CFR 1016.7, I am formally exercising my right to opt out of adverse reporting services. I kindly request your immediate attention and resolution of these matters. Your prompt response to this serious concern is highly anticipated and appreciated.

This is an infringement upon my identity, privacy, protection, and rights. 

The Privacy Act of 1974 provides protections to individuals in three primary ways. It provides individuals with : the right to request their records, subject to Privacy Act exemptions ; the right to request a change to their records that are not accurate, relevant, timely or complete ; and the right to be protected against unwarranted invasion of their privacy resulting from the collection, maintenance, use, and disclosure of their personal information. 



15 U.S.C. 1681b Permissible purposes of consumer reports ( 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.

( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies.

( a ) Duty of furnishers of information to provide accurate information ( 1 ) Prohibition ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Complaint narrative:
I am from XXXX. I am facing a email fraud and our company lost a lot of money which is planned to buy the USA goods. 
1. The invoice is confirmed on XXXX XXXX between us ( the correct USA seller and XXXX buyer ) ; 2. On the second day, XX/XX/XXXX, the fraud email replied me and my boss ( along with previous email, very careful camouflage methodNow this email addresss is unreachable ), asking us to pay for a new bank info. This bank has the same vendor 's name, bank name and SWIFT CODE. 
3. The payment is done on XX/XX/. 
4. We realize the problem in XX/XX/XXXX when my boss vidoe meeting with the vendor 's person who says their company still HAVEN'T received the money. 
5. We report this case to local XXXX Police Station XX/XX/XXXX, at the same time asking our bank XXXX to recall the money. 
6. By now, the Chase Bank still haven't replied us. I think they released the money without careful check, as the wire transfer has clearly said it is for the seller ( vendor 's name, bank name and SWIFT CODE ), although the account is wrong. They should refund directly to our XXXX XXXX, or let our bank double check it before releasing to the cheater. 
Can we hold harmless from Chase Bank?

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have recently discovered that other credit bureaus have already removed this account from their records as they did not provide enough information for me to verify this debt. I was the victim in this situation, and I am perplexed as to why your bureau is not complying with the law, especially when other bureaus have followed suit by addressing and correcting these inaccuracies. Given the lack of information provided to verify this debt, I request that you cease reporting this account immediately. Without proper validation and information, continuing to report this account is not only inaccurate but also incomplete and unverifiable. I want to emphasize that I was the victim of this error, and I am very frustrated by the apparent disregard for compliance with the law exhibited by your bureau. Other bureaus have successfully rectified similar issues, and I expect your bureau to do the same. XXXX  XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/2019 XXXX : {$490000.00}. I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ). I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim.
