Complaint narrative:
I am writing to bring to your attention certain inaccuracies on my consumer report. I have recently reviewed the report provided by the credit reporting agencies and identified errors related to credit card utilization and late payments. I believe these inaccuracies are adversely affecting my credit score. Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act '' 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ) It is the policy of the 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. 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) states " There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 15 U.S.C 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) 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. 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) states Any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. 15 USC 1666b ( a ) states A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. The Financial Institutions { XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX etc. } and the Consumer Reporting Agencies XXXX, Experian, & XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a non-affiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. { XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX etc. never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. These accounts are reporting adverse items without my permission which is against the law. 15 USC 1681e states Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that A consumer may exercise the right to opt-out at any time. My terms and conditions on my contracts state clearly that these companies will not report non-public personal information to non-affiliated third parties. I also discovered charge offs on my consumer report. According to the I.R.S. Publication and laws charge offs are considered a certificate of indebtedness which is considered income and income can not be reported on my consumer report pursuant to 26 U.S. Code 61 / 26 C.F.R. 1.643/ 20 C.F.R 211.2.
