Complaint narrative:
I was in the process of applying for new employment and it was brought to my attention that there is some inaccurate information reporting on my credit report.I received a copy of my credit report and to my surprise I saw all these inaccurate items that are not correct. 

By the way I hope that this does not hinder my ability to obtain employment due to this inaccurate information showing. I was advised by a legal friend of mine that under 15 US Code 1681a section 603 ( k ) ( b ) ( ii ) can be considered an adverse action.

Company: Merchants' Credit Guide Company
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
During Covid I was hospitalized for approximately three months starting on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX. On initial hospitalization my insurance switched from my previous employer to state of Kentucky Medicaid. The initial start date of the Medicaid was incorrect which later caused some issues between my previous insurance and Medicaid as to who was going to cover the hospital expenses. This took over a year to correct with medicaid finally being backdated to reflect the correct start date of coverage. All medical companies that were affected, and still waiting for insurance to cover the bills, were notified to resubmit to Medicaid. Some companies grew impatient and submitted claims to debt collectors which in turn filed claims against my credit rating. Additionally, debt collector - Merchants Credit Guide - began harassing phone calls several times a day concerning a {$300.00} dollar debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Kentucky which is part of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. It got to the point where I didnt answer the calls and turned off my voicemail. Both the XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX were made aware of my situation by both myself and the XXXX Kentucky Health Department, yet XXXX XXXX forwarded my dept to a collection agency. XXXX credit brings my XXXX credit rating to just below XXXX. Its frustrating and aggravating they can do this and I want them to remove the blemish affecting my credit rating and to stop the phone calls! It will likely take 3 to 4 weeks for Insurance to process the claim so knock it off!

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, You are breaking the law! 
On XX/XX/2022 I disputed the following account on my consumer report with all three consumer reporting agencies, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 
ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICE Account number XXXX On XX/XX/2022 I received a letter from XXXX with the results of the investigation which came back that this account was inaccurate and it was deleted from my consumer report. Pursuant to 15usc 1681i ( A ) 5 ( D ) any consumer reporting agency that compiles and maintains files on consumers on a nationwide basis shall implement an automated system through which furnishers of information to that consumer reporting agency may report the results of a reinvestigation that finds incomplete or inaccurate information in a consumers file to other such reporting agencies. By law each reporting agency is required to uphold the same accuracy. 
On XX/XX/2022 I received an email from XXXX stating that a new collection account was added to my XXXX report. This was the same account that was already deleted by XXXX and XXXX ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICE Account number- XXXX Also, Pursuant to 15usc 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report in accordance with written instructions to whom it relates. I never gave any written consent for this account to be furnished on my consumer report. Therefore, you had no permissible purpose to have this on my report which is also a violation of my rights. I demand this inaccurate account be deleted from my consumer report at once!

Complaint narrative:
I stated that inaccurate late payments are being furnished on my report that needs to be removed. Per my request the information came back as : Meets FCRA requirements and has not been removed. HOWEVER, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS IN VIOLATION OF 15 USC 6802 OF THE GLBA. MY NON-PUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION IS BEING FURNISHED TO NON-AFFILIATED THIRD PARTIES IN WHICH I NEVER GAVE LAWFUL CONSENT TO DO. As a result, this information being reported ruined my financial reputation and is in violation of 18 USC 894 of using unlawful extortionate means in which you can be held criminally liable for 20 years. These late payments need to be removed immediately as this is a breach of my privacy. Nothing under the FCRA requires the furnisher to furnish any negative information about me so furthermore, I am requesting the name of the person who verified this information was accurate as if they have lawful authority to do so as well as their telephone number and address. This is my last attempt to settle this matter before taking legal action for willful non-compliance for not following reasonable procedures in making my report fair and equitable to me the consumer
