Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally notify you of violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681n, about the unauthorized use of my consumer report by your organization. I have discovered that my consumer report was accessed and used without my express consent or lawful authorization, in violation of federal law.

Violation of 15 USC 1681n : Civil Liability for Willful Noncompliance Under 15 USC 1681n, any person who willfully fails to comply with the requirements imposed under the FCRA concerning any consumer is liable for damages. The violations by your company in this case include but are not limited to : Unauthorized Access to Consumer Report : My consumer report was accessed without permissible purpose under 15 USC 1681b ( a ), which explicitly lists the conditions under which a consumer report can be legally obtained. No permissible purpose was present in this case.

Failure to Notify of Rights : Under 15 USC 1681g ( c ), you are required to provide a clear and conspicuous summary of consumer rights under the FCRA when my consumer report is used. This right was not honored in this instance.

Failure to Ensure Accuracy : Under 15 USC 1681e ( b ), you have a legal duty to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of the information in consumer reports. The information in my report was not accurate, nor was it verified before being used unlawfully.

Negligent Noncompliance ( 15 USC 1681o ) : Should this matter be determined to involve negligence, you are also liable under 15 USC 1681o, which imposes civil liability for damages caused by negligent noncompliance with the FCRA.

Damages As a result of your willful noncompliance, I am entitled to actual damages, punitive damages, and statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} per violation, along with reasonable attorney fees, as outlined in 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

Additionally, I reserve the right to pursue remedies under : 15 USC 1681p : The statute of limitations for any legal actions concerning FCRA violations, which allows for recovery of damages up to two years from the date of discovery of the violation.

15 USC 1681q : This provision imposes penalties for knowingly and willfully obtaining information from a consumer reporting agency under pretenses, which may also apply here.

Complaint narrative:
CFPB you don't have a category for what Wells Fargo, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

All of them decided to keep the wealth they were entrusted with. No effort has been done to make them return that wealth. 

That put me in the position of having to explain what happened to the entire United States Government without giving legal advice. 

CFPB you don't have a category for banks keeping deposits that someone else made into another person 's account. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX kept the gift deposit I put in someone's account. 

CFPB you don't have a category for banks keeping loan payoffs done for someone else. I paid off Wells Fargo & XXXX XXXX  XXXX loans. Both banks kept the loan payoffs. Both banks did their best to bring the loan holders into the picture. The loan holders didn't keep the payoffs, the banks kept them. 

CFPB you don't have a category for banks that decide to keep a deposit dropped at a bank by mistake. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX did that. 
It told you it knew about the mistake. 

CFPB you don't have a category for banks keeping deposits and not opening bank accounts. XXXX XXXX XXXX did that. Federal Reserve Board knew about the deposit. That's why it filed a complaint against that bank with you. 

The investigation into all this started in XXXX. In XXXX cases were closed and investigations were shut down. 
I was told about everything as it happened. 

This complaint is the only way I could send information to you. There isn't a category to send you information in non complaint form. 

None of this is going away. The five banks 's dishonesty is making sure of that.

Not only was I lied to multiple times theyve already refunded a few of the transactions which means if they were approved the others should be to. This is just a game to them.

Complaint narrative:
Re : Formal Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Hard and Soft Inquiries Violations of Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Dear CFPB, I am filing this formal complaint regarding multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by credit reporting agencies and entities that have made unauthorized hard and soft inquiries on my credit report. These inquiries were conducted without my consent or any legally valid reason, and their presence has negatively impacted my credit profile. I seek immediate corrective action and enforcement of the relevant laws. 
1. Unauthorized Hard and Soft Inquiries Violations of 15 U.S. Code 1681b Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b, a consumer report may only be furnished for specific permissible purposes, such as when there is a valid contract, a written authorization from the consumer, or for purposes specifically outlined in the statute. The following hard and soft inquiries were made without my authorization or any legally valid reason : [ List of unauthorized inquiries, e.g., XXXX XXXX, XXXX, etc. ] I did not initiate these inquiries, nor did I provide any explicit consent for these companies to access my credit file. The continued presence of these inquiries violates the FCRA and damages my credit standing by lowering my credit score and creating inaccurate information. 
2. Impact of Unauthorized Inquiries Hard inquiries, in particular, can significantly lower a consumers credit score, and soft inquiries, while not always visible to other creditors, still reflect improperly on my credit history. The presence of unauthorized inquiries misrepresents my financial activity and negatively affects my ability to obtain credit on favorable terms. 
3. Legal Remedies and Violations of the FCRA The unauthorized inquiries constitute a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b, and I am entitled to remedies under 15 U.S. Code 1681n ( willful non-compliance ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681o ( negligent non-compliance ). These include : Statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} per violation. 
Actual damages for the harm caused to my credit standing. 
Punitive damages for willful violations of the FCRA. 
Recovery of legal fees and costs associated with disputing these inquiries.
