Complaint narrative:
Comenity Bank violated 15 usc 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ), 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( A ) ( 2 ), 15 usc 1692j ( a ), and 15 usc 1681e ( b ). Pursuant to 15 usc 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ) any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device should be excluded from a consumer report. The definition of a credit card under 15 usc 1681is the same as it is under 15 usc 1602 ( l ) which is the term credit card means by any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining, money, property, labor, or services on credit Notice, congress said ANY card. The credit card is my social security card. This is the credit card I used to originate the consumer credit transaction below. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports ( a ) IN GENERAL 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.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1692a ( 3 ) The term consumer means any natural person obligated or allegedly obligated to pay any debt. Wouldnt I be considered allegedly obligated to pay the debt listed below? I XXXX XXXX the consumer never gave Comenity Bank any written consent to report anything on my consumer report. No consent is Identity Theft.

Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( A ) ( 2 ) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers.. This law is stating that our consumer reports are our reputation. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 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 XXXX XXXX never gave Comenity Bank any written consent to report anything on my consumer report. No consent is Identity Theft. You reporting something on my report without my consent is negatively impacting my reputation. This is a violation to my rights. Also, the debt listed below is a bad debt, so it is definitely hurting my reputation.

Pursuant to 15 usc 1692j ( a ) It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating.. Who is the original creditor? I am, How? When I am given credit I am really receiving something that already belongs to me. Let me explain : my social security card is owned by the SSA, so legally all my debts are the U.S debts. Now, let me get back to explaining how I am the original creditor. The definition of a credit card under 15 usc 1681is the same as it is under 15 usc 1602 ( l ) which is the term credit card means by any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining, money, property, labor, or services on credit Notice, congress said ANY card. The credit card is my social security card. This is the credit card I used to originate the consumer credit transaction below. Also, banks cant loan money, it is illegal for banks to loan money. This is why the FDCPA 15 USC 1692 never uses the term borrower. You see how I am the original creditor now? Comenity Bank is showing on my consumer report as the original consumer and this is furnished deceptively.

Pursuant to 15 usc 1681e ( b ) ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.. Upon viewing my credit reports Ive noticed the reported account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had a discrepancy in the date last active section. If this is the same account, reported by the same creditor, how are these numbers different? 15 usc 1681e ( b ) states Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. Why do the accounts listed below have inaccuracies? Isnt this a violation of my rights as a consumer?

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
