Complaint narrative:
HI I XXXX XXXX XXXX THIS COMPLAINT FINDS YOU WELL BECAUSE IM NOT DOING WELL I AM XXXX XXXX I am verifying that THESE NEGATIVE ACCOUNTS ON MY CREDIT REPORT ARE NOT MINE I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM there is no need to ask for validation. RE : You violated the United States Code Law 15 U.S Code 1681 a ( 4 ) Consumer Right to privacy You are reporting fraudulent accounts that aren't actually mine, which is an infringement of my privacy. Congress said I have the right to decide what I deem private. I deem my hard inquiry and THESE NEGATIVE ACCOUNTS account to be private and I DO NOT WANT THIS INFORMATION SHARED ON MY CREDIT REPORT. FDCPA 807 misleading false reporting THE INFORMATION YOU ARE REPORTING WOULD LEAD A FUTURE CREDITOR TO BELIEVE I APPLIED FOR ALL THESE ACCOUNTS & INQUIRIES, when in reality it wasn't me, it was a scammer. Reporting these false things is very misleading. You are in violation because you did not witness me sign for these inquiries or accounts, so you can't actually verify that they are accurate, but yet you still reported these things to my credit report which goes against the FCRA laws for FAIRNESS. 15 USC 1681 n Civil liability for willful noncompliance You willfully accepted this credit information about me without verifying with your own two eyes that it was me who applied for this credit. Willful compliance is punishable up to { {$1000.00} } per violation. 18 U.S. Code 1028A - Aggravated identity theft You shared my information with numerous creditors without getting my consent first. you are criminally liable for aggravated identity theft which is punishable for up to 2 years. 15 U.S. Code 6802 ( b ) XXXX ( ) ( a ) ( A ) ( B ) ( C ) - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information DIDN'T DISCLOSE TO ME THAT I HAD THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS INFORMATION BEING SHARED. THAT WAS VERY deceptive OF YOU. You never explained to me that I can exercise a nondisclosure option. I feel like my consumer rights have been violated, and I have been taken advantage of. FDCPA 8012 furnishing deceptive forms You furnished these inaccurate inquiries and accounts as if they were accurate when they were never validated according to XXXX, so you don't even know if these accounts are accurate, but yet you still took it upon yourself to report this inaccurate information. Also, you reported that I owe a 'debt ', but nowhere on my credit report do I see a Negative balance, ( I don't see a negative sign in front of any numbers, only positive ). By you telling me I owe a " debt '', but reporting positive balances to my credit report is very deceptive. 15 U.S. Code 1692f.

( XXXX ) Using any language or symbol, other than the debt collector 's address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram, except that a debt collector may use his business name if such name does not indicate that he is in the debt collection business.

I AM THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR AND I DO NOT GRANT YOU THE RIGHT TO DEFER ANY PAYMENTS TO ME. 15 U.S Code 1681 a ( XXXX ) Consumer Right to privacy You are reporting very private matters on my credit report.
