Complaint narrative:
Remove immediately any Transaction History such as UTILIZATION, Last payment, Current balance, Highest balance, Monthly payment, Late payment status, Past due amount. Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer, I have opted out, retracted consent or otherwise rescinded any and all authorization I the consumer may have given any reporting agency or furnisher written, non written, verbal, and non verbal to report or furnish this information. Reporting of Transaction history is ILLEGAL. 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports 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 instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I did not give authorization to report or furnish information as listed above. 15 U.S. Code 1681c - Requirements relating to information contained in consumer reports Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than XXXX years. No adverse item besides the conviction of crimes should be on MY report. Any item that is a derogatory mark is not allowed into my consumer report. By violating section 1681b for permissible purpose and 1681c for information contained in consumer reports they are also violating compliance procedures under this title. 15 U.S. Code 1681n - Civil liability for willful noncompliance ( a ) In general Any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( A ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than { { {$100.00} } } and not more than { { {$1000.00} } } ; or ( B ) in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or { { {$1000.00} } }, whichever is greater ; 15 U.S. Code 1681o - Civil liability for negligent noncompliance In general Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure Negligent noncompliance means the law was violated not on purpose but just due to a lack of knowledge on the required reporting procedures. 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( 1 ) Prohibition ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors 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.

EXPERIAN continues to report my financial account with XXXX XXXX XXXX without my written consent. I have not authorized either company to release my nonpublic information. Each reporting agency is indeed a financial institution that makes a profit from each company to report said information. Due to the monetary gain from the creditor the reporting agencies have a financial gain which makes their interest in this account biased. I have requested the accounting history of this account and neither company has provided such documentary evidence. Each company is required to send an opt out notice to each consumer that gives them the opportunity to opt out of the information being shared. I have not received any such notice from either company. No consumer can be late on an open ended consumer plan either. This makes this report fraudulent. 17 CFR 248.124 - Reasonable opportunity to opt out. CFR 248.124 Reasonable opportunity to opt out. ( a ) In general. You must not use eligibility information that you receive from an affiliate to make marketing solicitations to a consumer about your products or services unless the consumer is provided a reasonable opportunity to opt out, as required by 248.121 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( ii ). ( b ) Examples of a reasonable opportunity to opt out. The consumer is given a reasonable opportunity to opt out if : ( 1 ) By mail. The opt out notice is mailed to the consumer. The consumer is given 30 days from the date the notice is mailed to elect to opt out by any reasonable means. ( 2 ) By electronic means. ( i ) The opt out notice is provided electronically to the consumer, such as by posting the notice at an Internet Web site at which the consumer has obtained a product or service. The consumer acknowledges receipt of the electronic notice. The consumer is given 30 days after the date the consumer acknowledges receipt to elect to opt out by any reasonable means. ( ii ) The opt out notice is provided to the consumer by e-mail where the consumer has agreed to receive disclosures by e-mail from the person sending the notice. The consumer is given 30 days after the e-mail is sent to elect to opt out by any reasonable means. ( 3 ) At the time of an electronic transaction. The opt out notice is provided to the consumer at the time of an electronic transaction, such as a transaction conducted on an Internet Web site. The consumer is required to decide, as a necessary part of proceeding with the transaction, whether to opt out before completing the transaction. There is a simple process that the consumer may use to opt out at that time using the same mechanism through which the transaction is conducted. ( 4 ) At the time of an in-person transaction. The opt out notice is provided to the consumer in writing at the time of an in-person transaction. The consumer is required to decide, as a necessary part of proceeding with the transaction, whether to opt out before completing the transaction, and is not permitted to complete the transaction without making a choice. There is a simple process that the consumer may use during the course of the in-person transaction to opt out, such as completing a form that requires consumers to write a yes or no to indicate their opt out preference or that requires the consumer to check one of two blank check boxes one that allows consumers to indicate that they want to opt out and one that allows consumers to indicate that they do not want to opt out. ( 5 ) By including in a privacy notice. The opt out notice is included in a GLBA privacy notice. The consumer is allowed to exercise the opt out within a reasonable period of time and in the same manner as the opt out under that privacy notice.
