Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
In accordance with the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ), it is mandated that consumer reporting agencies, such as XXXX, Experian, and XXXX, exercise their significant responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and due regard for the consumer 's right to privacy. 

Referring to 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), it is explicitly stated that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only in accordance with the written instructions of the respective consumer. To this effect, neither the financial institution, as defined in 15 USC 6802, nor the consumer reporting agencies, XXXX, Experian, XXXX, etc., possess my consent, whether explicit or implied, to disclose my information. All forms of consent, be they verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, are hereby revoked. 

Moreover, in compliance with 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), a financial institution is prohibited from disclosing nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without providing the consumer with an explanation of how to exercise the nondisclosure option. In this instance, I was never informed of my right to exercise such an option. 

Lastly, in accordance with 12 CFR 1016.7, I am exercising my right to opt out of your reporting services at this time. This decision is made in light of the aforementioned legal provisions and the failure of the financial institution and consumer reporting agencies to uphold the necessary procedures and disclosures as mandated by applicable laws.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, ACCT # XXXX, is being reported on my credit report. Under Section 604 15 U.S. Code 1681 B, it states none of the credit bureaus have the right to report anything on my credit report. 15 U.S. Code 1692 states that upon any disputed item on a consumers credit report, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof. Therefore, this is in violation! According to 15 US Code 681s-2, 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. This collection, by law, MUST be DELETED from my credit report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to inform that both XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) and Healthcare Finance Direct ( HFD ) that XXXX XXXX XXXX has breached a newly executed contract, as also mentioned via an email exchange on XX/XX/2023. On XX/XX/2023, I booked a visit to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and eventually enrolled in a treatment plan which was to include an aligner treatment, in-person and telehealth check-ins, on-going customer support, and access to retainers post-treatment. In addition, I was promised a lifetime guarantee. I paid a {$250.00} deposit to XXXX XXXX XXXX and also a {$2000.00} payment to HFD via a contract for services promised by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have since disputed this charge with my credit card company since XXXX XXXX XXXX and HFD have breached our executed contract. Since XXXX has closed its doors completely, not even allowing me access to my online account or treatment plan via the mobile application, they have breached the terms of my smile pay contract, with XXXX XXXX XXXX as the creditor, as it explicitly states the undersigned Buyer jointly and severally unconditionally promises to pay for services provided by XXXX. I am no longer receiving the services promised. I did receive my aligners, but I can not continue treatment without an overseeing XXXX and all doctors in my area have refused to oversee my treatment. I will need to start new treatment plans through them instead. Essentially, my treatment plan no longer exists. Since XXXX has violated the terms of their contract, I am informing you of my intent to stop further payment until the promised services resume and to stop threatening to hurt my credit score.

I called, emailed, and reported these fraudulent charges over a week before the ACH was even attempted to be charged to my account. 

The representative that answered the phone only stated that I had authorized the charges with no means to confirm this. I was alerted via phone to the charges to have been authorized at about XXXX my time, contacted paypal at about XXXX. 

Initial reporting to this was automatically declined by their automated system, the rep I spoke with said I would receive further review via their team. 

About a week later I received an email indicating the charges were unauthorized, however I would have to hope that the person who received my funds would return them. 

After initial contact with Paypal I contacted my banks, performed stop pays for all transactions and created new accounts. 

Paypal has apparently created a credit line on my behalf and given money to an unknown person while simultaneously informing me they knew these charges were fraudulent. 

In turn I have received a bill collector notice for these fraudulent charges.
