Complaint narrative:
I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to talk about an issue I found in my credit report. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I noticed that some of my personal information was shared with another company without my permission. I think this goes against the law that says you can't share someone's personal info without their say-so. 

I read about the rules ( 15 U.S. Code 6802 ) that say my personal info should be protected, but it seems like that didn't happen. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) also gives me the right to control who gets my info, and it looks like my info went to someone who isn't connected to your company. This worries me because I didn't get a chance to say no, like the law says I should. 

Just to be clear, I don't have a problem with the companies I owe money to. My concern is with your company for sharing my info without checking with me first. 

I checked the law ( 15 USC 1681b ), and it says you need my written permission to share my personal info. I never gave that permission, so I need you to prove that I said it was okay. If you can't, it might mean you broke the rules of the FCRA.

I already reported this to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my complaint number is 168209274. I'm worried this might be a kind of identity theft ( 18 USC 1028a ). 

I'm officially asking you to take these accounts off my credit report in the next four business days : XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Account Number : XXXX I also want you to remove these unauthorized inquiries in the same time frame : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX - Inquiry date XX/XX/202XXXX XXXX  - Inquiry date XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX - Inquiry date XX/XX/20XXXX XXXX - Inquiry date XX/XX/2023 I have the right to fair and accurate credit reporting, and fixing these mistakes is important for my credit report to be correct. 

I also need you to show me how you checked that the information you have is right and that I had a chance to say no to it. This is important to make sure credit reports are fair and accurate. 

I hope we can sort this out quickly, within the four business days I mentioned. If not, I might have to take legal action. 

Thank you for looking into this right away.
