Complaint narrative:
Account # XXXX opened- XX/XX/2023 amount-XXXX XXXX I am writing to address certain concerns regarding the handling of my personal information as outlined under various provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related statutes. 

It is imperative to underscore the fundamental principles delineated within the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), particularly in Section 602 ( a ), which emphasizes the need for consumer reporting agencies such as XXXX and XXXX to exercise fairness, impartiality, and respect for individuals ' privacy rights. As a consumer, I am entitled to safeguard my private information, as underscored by the provisions within 15 USC 6801. 

Furthermore, in adherence to the policies articulated by the Congress in 15 USC 6802, financial institutions like XXXX XXXX XXXX are duty-bound to uphold the privacy and confidentiality of their customers ' nonpublic personal information. The law stipulates that any disclosure of such information to nonaffiliated third parties necessitates explicit consent from the consumer, in accordance with 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ). 

Regrettably, I have not been duly informed by XXXX XXXX XXXX of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, as mandated by 15 USC 6802. Moreover, the reporting of adverse information without my consent, as reiterated in 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), is a direct violation of my privacy rights and the statutes outlined within the FCRA.

Additionally, I draw attention to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ), which prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. XXXX and XXXX 's failure to maintain reasonable procedures, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1681e, further compounds these concerns.

Furthermore, pursuant to 12 CFR 1016.7, I hereby exercise my right to opt out of your reporting services with immediate effect. 

In conclusion, I expect full compliance with the provisions of the FCRA and related statutes regarding the handling and dissemination of my personal information. Your prompt attention to these matters is appreciated. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
This complaint involves XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. I have attempted many times to correct inaccurate information and each agency refuses to do so without providing me any documentation to justify their position as required. The two most egregious inaccuracies of late involve XXXX XXXX and XXXX  XXXX XXXX reporting to these agencies without noticing me that they are doing so and providing me an opportunity to opt out of reporting as required, nor do the credit agencies provide me with the information sent to them to justify their reporting. Both of the aforementioned accounts listed by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are listed as charged off on my credit report. According to the IRS, this would constitute income for me yet I have not received any 1099 's from these banks because in reality, they are outstanding securities that belong to me and are owed to me. Income is not allowed to be reported on any credit reports, so this is a major violation going back at least two years for each bank. That would be {$150000.00} in fines for each bank for reporting those accounts alone, not to mention the pain and suffering I have endured waiting for these banks to follow their own regulations and the laws they must adhere to. I require the CFPB to follow the regulations and codes established by the CFPB to protect consumers, me in this instance, and do the following : Have these inaccuracies corrected on all three credit reports and listed as paid as agreed and paid in full AND send me the fines I am due for their continued violation of my protected consumer rights AND return my securities to me that they have been using and profiting from with interest.

Complaint narrative:
per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I XXXX XXXX, am now opting out any & all authorization i the consumer may have given written, unwritten, verbal & non verbal per 15 USC 6802 Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information, XXXX Form of opt out notice to consumers ; opt out methods, with said company XXXX XXXX. U.S. Department The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ; 34 CFR Part 99 ) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children 's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are " eligible students. '' Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student 's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions ( 34 CFR 99.31 ) : School officials with legitimate educational interest ; Other schools to which a student is transferring ; Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes ; Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student ; Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school ; Accrediting organizations ; To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena ; Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies ; and XXXXtate and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law. Schools may disclose, without consent, " directory '' information such as a student 's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification ( special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article ) is left to the discretion of each school. Based on the said laws & codes I exercise my rights as an consumer because my personal information is being used unlawfully. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate & unlawful. As well as sharing or selling my personal student loan info per the The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ; 34 CFR Part 99 ). REMOVE THESE XXXX XXXX ACCOUNTS ASAP.
