Now who are you taking about is my grantor over my account when did the consumer agencies become bankers or creditors? I notice that even XXXX 's has come back with this same statement. 
I should not have to tell you at that transactions and experiences are excluded from consumer reports.

Furthermore, I've notified you over three times about the billing dispute I've been having with the referenced in this complaint since XX/XX/XXXX. After I notified you, and dispute you continued to make reports and allow reports to be made containing prohibited information. Pursuant to section 162 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Billing Act, adverse credit reporting during a billing dispute is prohibited. So even if you were permitted to make reports using my transactions and experiences, adverse reports made during a billing dispute, to any party, is prohibited.
