recent correspondence regarding the State of Tennessee Department of Human Services ' verification of my consumer report without my consent. As a consumer, I believe that this action violated several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Under the FCRA, companies are required to obtain the consumer 's consent before obtaining a consumer report for employment, credit, or insurance purposes. In my case, the Department of Human Services obtained my consumer report without my consent, which may have violated Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ) of the FCRA.

Additionally, Section 604 ( b ) of the FCRA requires companies to disclose the permissible purposes for which they are obtaining a consumer report. If the Department of Human Services obtained my consumer report for a purpose that is not allowed under Section 604 ( b ), they may have violated this provision of the law as well.

Furthermore, Section 607 ( b ) of the FCRA requires companies to have a permissible purpose and to take reasonable steps to ensure that the information contained in the consumer report is accurate. If the Department of Human Services obtained my consumer report for an impermissible purpose, or if the report contained inaccurate information, they may have violated this provision as well.

Based on these violations of the FCRA, I would like to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information contained in my consumer report, and I may seek damages for any violations of the law.

I am requesting that the Department of Human Services be blocked from further reporting or disclosing my consumer report.

I have evidence that the Department of Human Services has not only obtained my consumer report without my consent but also verified inaccurate information on the report. This violates my rights under the FCRA and has caused me harm.

As a result, I am requesting that the Department of Human Services correct any inaccurate information on my consumer report and remove any information that violates the FCRA. Furthermore, I am requesting that the Department of Human Services be blocked from further reporting or disclosing my consumer report, as their past actions demonstrate a disregard for my rights as a consumer.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
