I am writing the cfpb out of extreme desperation. The credit reporting agencies have caused me great harm and have failed to uphold their fiduciary duties to protect my identity. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, they have violated my rights. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 Section 602 States I have the right to privacy, 15 USC 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I have never received any written acknowledgements from XXXX with the options to opt out. This has caused my family great harm because I have been denied the privilege to buy a home, purchase a car with affordable rates. I was also notified of my privacy being infringed on and my information being exposed, again I HAVE THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY pursuant to the privacy act of 1974.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1666B : A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

Ive been fighting for years to rectify fraudulent activity, names, addresses, social security numbers, accounts. I have even talked to multiple customer service representatives and they have hung up in my face and refused to put a freeze on my account. Ive been a victim of Experian breach they have failed me and my family. i have feared of someone getting a hold of my information. Because i get alerts that my info has been placed on the XXXX market or the dark web, this has placed my family in harms way. I just want to live my life in peace and not fear that I'm in jeopardy. Their websites, phone numbers, etc are all non-functioning for me and thousands of others with the same issues. 
You are also aware that reporting income on a credit report is against federal law. Charge offs are considered a certificate of indebtedness which is income, why are they still fraudulently reporting these accounts. 
It is also illegal to report transaction history on a report. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX CFR XXXX Please uphold your fiduciary duties to report accurately. I am invoking my rights to privacy according to the privacy act of 1974. I am also invoking my rights to opt out.

Complaint narrative:
I have requested all information regarding the said issues Equifax told me was going on with my credit file since they referred my file to their Consumer Affairs department. and They have not sent me anything. I have also called in several times trying to resolve the said issues and they are trying to force me to mail the same information I already have on file that I have confirmed verbally. I just want my access back to be able to lift and place security freezes back on my credit files online. and I also want them to send me a break down of what's going on with my credit file to cause this to happen. especially since they are saying it was a discrepancy with my information that's being reporting to them by whomever other than me.

State: MT

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is not with any individual company but with the entire industry. I have had 4 different servicers in 3.5 years of having a mortgage. Each time I am required to sign up for their service and reenter my information so they can auto deduct from my account. I appreciate that there is a 60 day period where I can not be penalized but this is so aggravating. I know its because my loan is just being bought and sold like stock so each of these companies can make a marginal gain. They each provide no value to me with each of these transactions, I see no discount or return for them passing it along. My consistent payment and income makes my loan a desirable product for which see no return and my labor in to continue to keep up with this obnoxious buying/selling is unpaid. This is exploitation.

Subject : Cease and Desist Notice Regarding Unauthorized Credit Reporting - Compliance Required Under Federal and Georgia Identity Theft Laws Dear DIVERSIFIED ADJUSTME, I am writing to formally address a serious violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as stipulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and Georgia laws pertaining to identity theft and fraud. 

It has been brought to my attention that XXXX XXXX has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, which is a clear violation of federal and state laws. The FCRA explicitly mandates that consumer consent is a prerequisite for such reporting activities under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

In addition to federal law, Georgia state law, particularly statutes related to identity theft and fraud, emphasize the critical importance of consumer consent for credit reporting. The unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, as outlined in Georgia statutes, are serious offenses that carry significant penalties. 

I wish to make it unequivocally clear that I have not granted consent for XXXX XXXX to report any information to my credit report. This absence of explicit permission constitutes a blatant infringement of my rights and could potentially harm my creditworthiness, in direct violation of federal and Georgia laws. 

I hereby demand, with utmost urgency, that XXXX XXXX immediately cease all further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) of the FCRA and relevant Georgia identity theft and fraud laws. Failure to comply within 30 days will be considered willful noncompliance and may result in legal action, including penalties under applicable laws. 

Compliance with these legal obligations is not optional but imperative. This is a demand for adherence to federal and state regulations designed to protect consumers from unauthorized and detrimental credit reporting practices. 

I expect prompt attention to this matter and trust that XXXX  XXXX will rectify these egregious violations in accordance with federal and Georgia laws, thereby respecting my rights as a consumer. 

This communication is made in good faith.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Reporting on My Credit Report Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding an erroneous entry on my personal credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report dated XX/XX/2024, I discovered an account that does not belong to me and was not opened by me. The account in question is being reported by Sunrise Credit Service for XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I wish to assert that I have never been a customer of XXXX XXXX service, nor have I ever initiated or authorized any account with them. I have been consistently serviced by XXXX and XXXX XXXX for several years, which corroborates my statement. Furthermore, I have been a resident of XXXX XXXX XXXX  for the past XXXX years, and I have no recollection or record of engaging with XXXX XXXX XXXX during this time. 

The presence of this inaccurate account on my credit report is deeply concerning to me, as it could potentially have adverse effects on my creditworthiness and financial standing. I am gravely troubled by the implications this could have on my ability to secure future loans, mortgages, or lines of credit. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter promptly and take appropriate action to rectify the erroneous reporting by Sunrise Credit Service. Additionally, I urge the bureau to ensure that my credit report is updated accurately and expediently to reflect the removal of this erroneous account. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will uphold its commitment to consumer protection and work diligently to resolve this issue in a timely manner.
