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: TX

Complaint narrative:
I did not give Experian consent to furnish the enclosed Accounts, nor the related data associated with the Accounts, on my consumer report. According to the Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 U.S Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports, subsection ( a ), 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 instruction of the consumer to whom it relates. 

Since Experian furnished the enclosed Accounts, with their related data, on my consumer report without my consent, Experian has violated my privacy as a protected consumer. No consent is identity theft and misuse of my non-public personal information. Also, since subsection ( a ) of 15 USC 1681b is subject to subjection ( c ), Furnishing reports in connection with credit transactions that are not initiated by the consumer are limited to : ( C ) other information pertaining to a consumer that does not identify the relationship or experience of the consumer with respect to a particular creditor. 

The enclosed accounts furnished in my consumer report include relationships and experiences with different creditors and is a violation of the Consumer Protection Act. As a result of Experian 's failure to comply with the Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 USC 1681b, my unalienable right to pursue happiness has been hindered. I have been denied access to purchase an automobile, perform much needed repairs on our home, and set up infrastructure for a new business venture because of Experian 's willful non-compliance. As a consumer protected by the Consumer Protection Act, I demand for Experian to remove only the accounts enclosed in the attached document from my consumer report IMMEDIATELY!

State: DC

Complaint narrative:
The regulatory representative from Mazda Financial Services ( MFS ) included rather crafty language in their responses to CFPB and XXXX to avoid addressing raised concerns, using formalities such as " We realize this may not be the response they desired, but we hope our above reply has resolved this matter amicably. '' I have placed phone calls from my number ( XXXX ) XXXX to Mazda Financial Services ( MFS ) at XXXX prior to raising regulatory complaints with XXXX. XXXX continues to pressure me into " fully [ discussing my ] end of lease options '' more times as a way to evade allowing me to purchase the vehicle and instead to try to sell me a new Mazda vehicle. I have indicated a clear inquiry into the third option of " [ purchasing ] the vehicle [ I am ] currently driving. '' MFS has not provided a detailed payoff quote with accompanying payoff procedures, as is owed to the customer.

Please make no mistake that additional complaint ( s ) will be raised with additional regulatory body ( ies ), including the Attorney General 's Office, if this matter is not expressly resolved.

Complaint narrative:
Demand to opt out indefinitely. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 USC 1681, section 602a underscores the necessity for consumer reporting agencies to carry out their significant duties with fairness, impartiality, and a regard for the consumer 's entitlement to privacy. XXXX and XXXX, recognized as consumer reporting agencies, interface directly with consumers like me. I, as the consumer, possess the fundamental right to safeguard my private information from unwarranted sharing, as substantiated by 15 USC 6801, which underscores Congress 's stance that each financial institution bears an ongoing obligation to uphold the privacy of its clientele and safeguard the confidentiality of their nonpublic personal data.

Entities furnishing information to credit agencies are categorized as financial institutions under the aforementioned statute. Pertinently, 15 USC 1681, section 604a, subsection 2 outlines that consumer reporting agencies may solely furnish consumer reports in adherence to the explicit written directives of the concerned consumer. Both the financial institution, as the provider of information to credit agencies, and the consumer reporting agencies such as XXXX and XXXX, and XXXX, do not possess my authorization to furnish this information, nor do they have my explicit written consent. Therefore, any consent previously extended to XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, or other entities acting as furnishers of information to credit agencies, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is hereby revoked. 
Moreover, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) dictates that a financial institution must not disclose nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties unless the consumer is provided with a clear explanation of how they can exercise their right to non-disclosure. Regrettably, the financial institution in question failed to inform me of my right to exercise this option. Additionally, as per 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), no consumer reporting agency may include certain adverse items of information in a consumer report without proper authorization, a provision this account infringes upon. 
Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ), entities are prohibited from furnishing inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies, yet XXXX and XXXX continue to do so. Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681e mandates that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures to prevent violations of section 1681c and restrict the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes specified under section 1681b, a requirement which XXXX and XXXX seem to neglect. 
Additionally, as outlined in 12 CFR 1016.7, consumers retain the right to opt out of reporting services at any given time. Hence, I am formally exercising my right to opt out of your reporting services effective immediately.
