Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Per the FCRA, I am a federally protected consumer. According to the law, consumer reporting agencies are to exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Experian, is classified as consumer reporting agency, and I by definition am the Consumer. Pursuant to 15 U.S Code 6801, it is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. XXXX XXXXXXXX per 15 U.S Code 6801 is defined as a financial institution ; of which I am sure the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency [ would ] consider any information that this institution engaged in illegal credit practices before the end of the institutions next performance evaluation. XXXX XXXX is in violation of 15 U.S Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ). See Exhibit A. XXXX XXXX is under the regulation of many laws and as previously mentioned one of those is the FCRA, which states the term consumer report DOES NOT INCLUDE any report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. Pursuant to 15 U. S Code 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) the publishing of any adverse item of information should not be on any consumer report. It clearly states except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information. Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. This is a violation as they are reporting these items without my permission. See Exhibit B for the accounts I, the consumer, am speaking of. 15 U.S Code 1681e states every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violation of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. 15 U.S Code 1681 clearly states that I have a right to privacy. It also states the consumer reporting agencies can NOT furnish an account without my written instructions. Experian is in direct violation of the law and will be held responsible/liable for damages pursuant to 15 U.S Code 1681n.

These funds need to be returned immediately as it has been over 3 years since that deposit was made. Unemployment stated that they reached out to PNC to request the funds back and have not yet received a response.

Company: HFS Financial LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This company stated they offer loans and start at no credit check for pre approval. They never disclosed that they are a Brokerage and don't offer the loan directly. They also never advised there was a 3 % finders fee. I was not allowed to pick my own terms and was just sent over a contract to sign after they ran my credit. When I called to complain, the supervisor did nothing but say he's sorry it wasn't what I expected but they send out the disclosures. When I asked him to show me where I signed the discourse and how I can review them, he said they're a one time click button and he doesn't have anything in writing. He also advised there is no harm because they won't charge me anything to cancel my application. I advised him if I would have known they were a broker and charged a 3 % fee I would have never wasted my time, submitted an application, nor sent personal information to them. After that he sent me a disclosure form with my name on it and predated it to XX/XX/28 with no signatures.
