JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYST XXXX... 
{$9600.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MN XXXX Subject : Dispute of Unauthorized Information Disclosure under 15 USC 1681 Dear XXXX, I am writing to dispute certain information that appears on my credit report maintained by your bureau. Pursuant to the provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681, it has come to my attention that you have been furnishing and obtaining my personal information without my written consent. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several entries that I did not authorize or provide written consent for your bureau to obtain or furnish. Specifically, XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX. It is essential to note that I have never provided explicit written consent for the disclosure or acquisition of this information by your bureau. 

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically outlined in 15 USC 1681b, it is mandatory for consumer reporting agencies to obtain written consent from individuals before providing their consumer reports to third parties. Additionally, under 15 USC 1681c, consumer reporting agencies must also provide a summary of rights to individuals who request their credit reports. However, I have not been notified of such actions nor have I provided authorization for such disclosures. 

I am requesting that you promptly investigate this matter and provide a detailed explanation of how this unauthorized disclosure of information occurred. Furthermore, I demand that you remove all unauthorized information from my credit report immediately, as it is in violation of my rights under the FCRA. 

Please provide written confirmation once the investigation has been completed and the unauthorized information has been removed from my credit report. Additionally, I request that you provide a copy of my updated credit report free of charge, as per the FCRA regulations. 

Failure to comply with the FCRA regulations may result in further legal action. I expect your prompt attention to this matter and appreciate your cooperation in resolving this dispute. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am sure you are aware that it is against the law to threaten suit without any intention of doing so. Therefore, be advised that I am extremely serious about filing suit against your company. I have sent numerous letters requesting for you to investigate and remove all inaccurate information that is being reported on my personal credit profile, yet you continue to fail to do so. It is my understanding of the law that you MUST honor each and every request to investigate incorrect information and you seem to have ignored all of my previous requests. That is a crystal clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act which provides a cause of action for an individual consumer as well as penalties and liabilities for both consumer reporting agencies and furnishers of information for non-compliance as violation of its provisions. As I stated before, this is my final request for you to do as you are governed by the FCRA. If this final request does not prompt you to conduct a proper investigation of the accounts in question, I will be forced to file suit against your company in the county in which I live. That way, you can travel here in order to defend yourselves.

Complaint narrative:
During the weekend of XX/XX/year>, I attempted on several occasions to apply for a BMO Alto certificate of deposit or " XXXX. '' The term is 48 months and the XXXX at the time was XXXX percent. Unfortunately, each time I applied for the CD, I was denied. My application consisted on inputting my personal information including my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and date of birth. The denial e-mail message I received from BMO was very nebulous and stated the following, " Hello XXXX XXXX, Thank you for your interest in BMO Alto. Unfortunately, your account application has been declined. If you believe you have entered information incorrectly, we invite you to re-apply. Thank you for choosing BMO Alto. 
Application ID : XXXX Email ID : XXXX ** This is an unmonitored mailbox. Please do not reply to this email. ** '' On Monday XX/XX/XXXX, I called the BMO Alto customer service number and spoke with a representative that emphatically told me she could not provide an explicit reason as to why my applications were denied. When I protested, she indicated she would file an internal complaint and secured my contact information. Unfortunately, I never received a reply. On Thursday XX/XX/XXXX, I visited the BMO branch at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX in XXXX and spoke with XXXX. He emphatically told me that the online banking division is completely separate and there is nothing he could do to help me or direct me to somebody that could be of assistance. 

The refusal of BMO to provide me with specific information as to why my application was declined is highly disappointing and may contraindicate the regulations that require an explicit notice of adverse action of " XXXX. '' If my application was denied because of the inability to a credit reporting agency to verify my identity, I should be provided with the name and contact information of the agency so I can resolve the problem. I may purchase a home later this year and I want to ensure there are no issues with my credit reports.
