Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX, the affiant, submit this affidavit with clean hands as the living woman to address unauthorized actions by this credit reporting agency, known as XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and other third party companies. 

This affidavit addresses serious issues, including character defamation and identity theft, as defined in 16 CFR 603, which prohibits the use of another person 's identification without authority. 


In relation to the permissible purposes of consumer reports under FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 15 USC 1681b ), it is asserted that there was no written consent from me, the consumer, for this consumer reporting agency to furnish and house my information without lawful authority. While 15 USC 6802 may suggest exclusions, it also states that the consumer reporting agency is in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

According to 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ), transactions between the consumer and the person making the report are supposed to be excluded from my consumer report. These rules of construction govern the terms, emphasizing that such actions must not appear on my report without proper authorization. 

With this in mind, if you assert that I received goods or services in exchange for any of these unauthorized transactions reported on my consumer report, you must provide a signed and notarized affidavit from a party within your corporation who is authorized to do so and possesses firsthand knowledge of these transactions. 

I demand the following actions to protect my reputation as the consumer : 1. Delete all risk factors immediately to safeguard my reputation. 
2. Remove all inquiries permanently from my credit report. 
3. Remove any fraud alert once all matters have been resolved. 
4. Eliminate any delinquencies immediately. 
5. Restore or delete any late payments from my credit history. 

The presence of multiple installment and revolving accounts with delinquent or derogatory statuses, along with insufficient credit history, negatively impacts the consumer 's credibility and perceived financial reliability, potentially limiting their access to loans, credit, or housing, while also representing private matters that should not be publicly disclosed. 

The principle that is it a fault to meddle with what does not belong to or does not concern you underscores the gravity of these violations. My rights have been compromised, and I hereby demand the blocking of associated information pursuant to FCRA 605 ( b ) ( 15 USC 1681c-2 ). My request to block is made in good faith and is not based on any misrepresentation of facts. My nonpublic personal information has been unlawfully disclosed, resulting in defamation and emotional distress, which have hindered my pursuit of happiness. 

Furthermore, I will not accept a wrong without remedy. Should these matters not be resolved promptly, I will pursue civil action under 12 CFR 229.21 ( Civil Liability ) and 15 USC 1681n for each instance of non-compliance. 

I affirm that all statements herein are true and correct, and I have attached a list of accounts opened due to identity theft.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
