Every consumer reporting agency shall make a reasonable effort to verify the identity of a new prospective user and the uses certified by such prospective user prior to furnishing such user a consumer report. No consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report to any person if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the consumer report will not be used for a purpose listed in section 1681b of this title.

Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section : 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 1 ) states, The false representation or implication that the debt collector is vouched for, bonded by, or affiliated with the United States or any State, including the use of any badge, uniform, or facsimile thereof. 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 2 ) states, The false representation of ( A ) the character, amount, or legal status of any debt ; or ( B ) any services rendered or compensation which may be lawfully received by any debt collector for the collection of a debt. Examples of common violations under this subsection include a collector falsely implying legal action has begun when it has not, where the collector claims an amount more than actually owed ( allegedly due to interest, late charges or other fees, that are not authorized ), and where the collector asserts a debt is owed and immediately due and payable, when it is not. 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 3 ) states, The false representation or implication that any individual is an attorney or that any communication is from an attorney. A debt collector may not send a collection letter from a Pre-Legal Department, where no legal department exists, or send a letter deceptively using an attorneys name when the debt collector is not an attorney/law firm. And if a creditor falsely uses an attorneys name rather than its own when trying to collect, the creditor will lose its exemption from the FDCPAs definition of debt collector. 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 4 ) states, The representation or implication that nonpayment of any debt will result in the arrest or imprisonment of any person or the seizure, garnishment, attachment, or sale of any property or wages of any person unless such action is lawful and the debt collector or creditor intends to take such action. 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 5 ) states, The threat to take any action that can not legally be taken or that is not intended to be taken. A debt collector may not state that he will take any action unless he intends to take the action when the statement is made, and ordinarily takes such action in similar circumstances. He or she may also not state that a third party ( e.g., the creditor ) will take an action unless there is reason to believe, at the time the statement is made, that such action will be taken. For example, a debt collector may not threaten to report a dishonored check or other fact to the police, unless he actually intends to do so, threaten to attach a consumers tax refund unless he has the legal authority to do so, report a debt to a credit bureau if it doesnt actually report debts, or threaten to illegally contact an employer, or other third party. A debt collector may also not misrepresent the imminence of an action, when such action is not actually planned. For example, a debt collectors implication or reference to an attorney or to legal proceedings may mislead the debtor as to the likelihood or immediate legal action. However, if the debt collector has reason to know legal action is unlikely in the particular case, that statement would be misleading. And lack of intent actually bring suit may be inferred when the amount of the debt is so small as to make the action totally unfeasible or when the debt collector is unable to take the action because the creditor has not authorized him to do so. 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 6 ) states, The false representation or implication that a sale, referral, or other transfer of any interest in a debt shall cause the consumer to '' ( A ) lose any claim or defense to payment of the debt ; or ( B ) become subject to any practice prohibited by this subchapter. This often occurs where the debt collector falsely states that the consumers account will be referred back to the original creditor, or a different collector, who will be able to otherwise who take action the FDCPA prohibits the debt collector to take. A debt collector may also not mislead the consumer as to the legal consequences of the consumers action or inaction ( e.g., by falsely implying that a failure to dispute is an admission of liability ). 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 7 ) states, The false representation or implication that the consumer committed any crime or other conduct in order to disgrace the consumer. 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 8 ) states, Communicating or threatening to communicate to any person credit information which is known, or which should be known to be false, including the failure to communicate that a disputed debt is disputed. If a debt collector is reporting a debt to a credit bureau, and knows the consumer disputes the debt ( whenever the consumer disputes it, even if after thirty days ), he must update the account as disputed, and failure to do so violates the Act. 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 9 ) states, The use or distribution of any written communication which simulates or is falsely represented to be a document authorized, issued, or approved by any court, official, or agency of the United States or any State, or which creates a false impression as to its source, authorization, or approval. 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 10 ) states, The use of any false representation or deceptive means to collect or attempt to collect any debt or to obtain information concerning a consumer. This is in general, a catch-all provision, encompassing actions not expressly listed. 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 11 ) states, The failure to disclose in the initial written communication with the consumer and, in addition, if the initial communication with the consumer is oral, in that initial oral communication, that the debt collector is attempting to collect a debt and that any information obtained will be used for that purpose, and the failure to disclose in subsequent communications that the communication is from a debt collector, except that this paragraph shall not apply to a formal pleading made in connection with a legal AS PER THE LAW, I WANT THE I WANT THESE UPDATES COMPLETED WITHIN 4 DAYS, AND I STILL WANT THIS ACCOUNT ON MY REPORT AS IT IS UNLAWFUL TO REPORT. The utilization should state paid as agreed.

My right to privacy is guaranteed by 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 ( A ) .15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( XXXX ) 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. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is the parent company they operated under ) is also in violation of The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ; 34 CFR Part 99 ) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the XXXX Department of Education. They also included erroneous reporting. XXXX XXXX shut down in XXXX after being hit with a series of sanctions by the Obama administration. Loan forgiveness was offered to more former XXXX XXXX students. They should have included my loan but they fail to do so. They continue to report this on my credit report. I want compensation because they violated me for years. They have reported monthly for 7 years. {$1000.00} per violation ( transaction ). {$1000.00} x 12 months for XXXX yrs total {$84000.00}. Their handling of my records and privacy is unacceptable. Under the regulations set forth by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( XXXX ), specifically outlined in the United States Code ( USC ) Title 20, Section 1232g, and the corresponding Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ), Title 34, Section 99, educational records including student loan information are protected and should not be disclosed to unauthorized parties or reported on credit reports without proper authorization or when they pertain to defunct institutions. XXXX 's continued reporting of these loans has had severe financial consequences for me. Because of this inaccurate reporting, I have been declined for personal and business loans that I otherwise would have been approved for. This has caused significant financial hardship and unnecessary stress. 

I demand that XXXX rectify this issue immediately by removing these erroneous loan entries from my credit report in compliance with XXXX and other relevant regulations. Additionally, I am seeking compensation for the damages caused by this violation, which has impacted my ability to access credit and financial opportunities. 

I demand a response to this complaint within 10 days to confirm that corrective action has been taken and provide details on how you intend to compensate me for the damages incurred. Failure to address this matter satisfactorily will compel me to pursue further legal action
