DISCOVER has now obtained my personal identifying information for purposes I am unaware of and are now in direct violation under 15 USC 1681q. DISCOVER states that I have read the agreement and gave consent to DISCOVER to furnish on my consumer report. THIS HAS NOTHING TO WITH DISCOVER AND MY CONSUMER REPORT. DISCOVER has DISCRIMINATED against me by denying me my RIGHT TO CREDIT IN COMMERCE and have even insulted me by blatantly reciting the ECOA provision they willfully violated where it states " The federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants ... .or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. I HAVE EXERCISED MY RIGHT TO CREDIT AND INSTEAD HAVE BEEN ABUSED< DISCRIMINATED AND INSULTED BY DISCOVER. AND HAVE BEEN DISCOURAGED TO EXTEND FURTHER CREDIT IN THE BANKING SYSTEM AND HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE BANKING SYSTEM

Complaint narrative:
The company of concern is Affirm Affirm is practicing deceptive behavior which has resulted in the destruction of my credit. 

I opened one tradeline with them and anytime I bought anything they turned it into a new credit line. It was not disclosed to me that opening one tradeline with them would result in multiple tradelines. I think they are doing this to get late fees by confusing the consumer.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
As per my previous letters dated XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, I have diligently submitted supporting documentation ( including my bank statements dated XXXX of total payments made in full ) to substantiate the discrepancies found on my credit report. Regrettably, the bureau 's responses have consistently claimed that the information has been verified as accurate, without providing any proof of who and how they verified the information or the representative 's response in writing, as I have repeatedly requested in the past 12 letters. I've waited three months since the date of my last request ( XX/XX/XXXX ) for a reinvestigation response and written notice and no reply was given in writing. 

The bureau is reporting the following inaccurate, unfair, unduly, incomplete, obsolete, and erroneous information on my credit report and MUST be DELETED due to repeated inconsistent and inaccurate information being reported. 

The bureau is in violation of 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681-s2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ; ( 2 ) failed to promptly update and correct information furnished to CRAs and determined was not complete or accurate in violation of 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s2 ( a ) ( 2 ), 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA, and15 U.S.C. 1681s2 ( a ) ( 5 ) ; and the bureau failed to establish and implement reasonable written policies and procedures regarding the accuracy and integrity of the information provided to CRAs in violation of Regulation V, 12 C.F.R. 1022.42 ( a ). These violations of the FCRA and Regulation V also constitute independent violations of the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Under 1053 and 1055 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5563, 5565.

I have reiterated my rights as a consumer under the FCRA : 1. The right to have accurate and up-to-date information reported by your agency.

2. The right to removal of disputed inaccuracies and errors on my credit report.

3. The right to a thorough and fair investigation of my disputes.

4. The right to add a statement to my credit file, which I have requested repeatedly.

I have requested from them, in writing, further details of the reinvestigation on several different occasions, with no proper response, if any, acknowledging or providing the requested information in writing.
