Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 ( 2 ) 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:
I was included in the XXXX XXXX XXXX and believe this account is due to fraud. In review of my credit reports, I found an account, CCS Collections in the amount of {$340.00} listed on my file that does not belong to me. Several attempts were made regarding the validity of the account with requests made to the company to provide proof and validation of said debt. This company has not complied with the request and refuses to supply any proof that this debt was validated by me. Furthermore, this said debt does not belong to me nor have I ever received any form of written communication via electronic or hardcopy requesting me to verify or validate said debt. This company continues to violate the laws that are governed to protect consumers. Section 1006.34 ( a ) ( 1 ) generally requires a debt collector to provide the validation information required by 1006.34 ( c ) either by sending the consumer a validation notice in the manner required by 1006.42, or by providing the information orally in the debt collectors initial communication. It is a violation of the collection practices act for a debt collector to refuse to send a validation notice. I have never received any notice to validate said debt. Please validate this information and provide me with copies of any and all documentation associated with these accounts bearing my signature. I formally request that this information be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my social security number. CCS Collections are listed on both of my credit files attempting to collect a debt for XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX.
