Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY. 

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system.

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX, a XXXX XXXX platform has hundreds of consumer complaints and negative reviews over four-year periods. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has been allowed to operate with no federal oversight. My personal information has been used without my permission in XX/XX/XXXX. Formal written complaints had previously been filed with the CFPB, FTC, and XXXX. In addition, the responses I received from the Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) were unacceptable. The CRAs have claimed that they, " completed its investigation, including contacting the furnisher of the information, where applicable. ". That very well may be the case, however, I demanded that they provide me with the 'Method of Verification ' and verification of whom they contacted, evidence of the investigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I will continue to file DFPI, CFPB, and FTC complaints, intending for the State Attorney General 's Office in their state to also be contacted for enforcement. It should be noted that this particular investigation started on XX/XX/XXXX, and is evident that the CRAs have no sense of urgency with the repetitive and unnecessary stalling in correcting inaccuracies in consumers ' credit files. The CRAs have served no purpose in diligently taking appropriate action against predatory financial services platforms that hide behind their algorithms taking advantage of consumers except to help massage the creditors and furnishers giving them more than sufficient time to complete a " thorough investigation '' The accounts below are being reported fraudulently by Self-Lender and DO NOT belong to me : XXXX XXXX  aka XXXX  ( CLOSED ) date Opened XX/XX/XXXX, Charge off for {$120.00}. The account numbers are XXXX / XXXX. 
As you may be aware, " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' legally means that they had a duty to speak but failed to do so, therefore, that must mean they agree with me that this debt is false. I will use the XXXX in my defense. XXXX XXXX XXXX has been copied on all my complaints to the federal agencies and have completely ignored and blocked my email correspondences demanding they take immediate action to delete these negative, unauthorized accounts from ALL 3 Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) within 15 business days or I would commence a Federal lawsuit against Self-Lender in the Federal Court system and report this to the CFPB and the FTC for enforcement. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been copied on this email so they are aware of the seriousness of the FCRA and FCCPA violations of XXXX 's poor history in protecting consumers ' identities, and opening accounts resulting in inaccurate and erroneous reporting. The CFPB has done nothing but compound the problem by not escalating these complaints to the Criminal Division for enforcement.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Due to your violations, I will take legal action and submit a complaint for small claims for default judgment, which allows up to {$1000.00} per violation. I am requesting an ALLEGED DEBT to be VALIDATED, pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) validation of debt section, 15 USC 1692g. I also demand a request for accounting of this alleged debt, pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, UCC Article 9-210. Therefore, I demand validation and verification of the alleged debt. Furthermore, it is imperative that you notify XXXX and Equifax to delete this information from my credit report immediately. The account in question is detailed and Unauthorized Accounts include the following : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. In addition, I am requesting for a copy of the 1099-C filed for the charged-off debt. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  must provide this to me, as the consumer, or you will be neglecting to comply with FEDERAL law. This leaves me no choice but to assume that you have neglected to comply with FEDERAL law by not filing a 1099-C as mandated. Consequently, I am compelled to inform you that I will report XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  to the IRS for potential tax fraud using Form 3949-A if prompt action is not taken. As per IRS regulations, a canceled debt of {$600.00} or more necessitates the filing of a 1099-C form by federal or government agencies, or applicable financial entities. Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes tax fraud, a serious offense that I will not hesitate to report to the IRS. It is essential to understand that a canceled debt is considered ordinary income by the IRS. Consequently, any failure to file a 1099-C form, or any attempt to conceal such actions, constitutes inaccurate reporting. Income is not to be included on a credit report, and any such inclusion violates consumer laws and regulations. Your company 's actions are in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681s-2, which outlines the responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. Under this statute, it is prohibited to furnish inaccurate information knowingly or with reasonable cause to believe it is inaccurate. It is imperative that you take immediate steps to rectify this situation by deleting the inaccurate information from all consumer reporting agencies. Failure to comply will result in legal action being pursued, including XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX accountable for willful noncompliance under 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). This statute stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with FCRA requirements may be liable for damages sustained by the consumer. I urge you to act swiftly and cease reporting this item to avoid further complications. Kindly delete this off my report immediately.
