Consumer complaint received 2024-06-05 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed inquiries I didn't consent to and personal information I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I never consented to these inquiries and did not provide written consent to report them List all inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year>

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has continued to report inaccurate information on my credit report. A previous request to validate information being reported resulted in items being removed. A violation of the FCRA occurs when information that has not been validated is reported, contrary to 15 U.S.C. 1692g. Student loans are being duplicated and balance amounts are inaccurate. Payments made have been added to the balance rather than deducted. This is gross negligence on their part and has caused me great financial and emotional hardships. I have been denied credit due to low scoring of my credit report due to the inaccuracies. I have been unable to obtain housing for my family. I have been denied credit for personal, family and household purposes. This is defamation of my character which gives a false impression that I can not handle my own affairs

I demand the following accounts be verified or deleted immediately.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/2024 XXXX XXXX 2024 Dear TransUnion, I am writing to express my frustration and confusion regarding the repeated responses I have received from your company regarding the status of the disputed account.FCRA Section 607 ( a ) ( 4 ) - Consumer Right to Privacy : I have the sole authority to determine what information should be considered private. I insist that this information not be shared on my credit report. 
Despite providing new and relevant information that clearly demonstrates the inaccuracy of the account in question, I continue to receive the same letter stating that the account has been verified. This leads me to question whether my information was adequately considered during your investigation process, and whether it was forwarded to the court for verification. I am interested in learning about your interactions with court representatives, including their full contact details. 
You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 
" XXXX XXXX XXXX '' with Reference XXXX : XXXX. 
Account is reporting when the US XXXX court does not report to anyone. This is a Violation of my privacy. Please delete. 
Please delete this account immediately for failing to do your due diligence making sure everything is XXXX XXXX accurate on my report. 
While I may not be an expert on credit bureaus and credit reports, I have conducted research that leads me to question the reliability of the XXXX system that is reportedly used for investigations. I understand that this system may not always provide accurate results, and it is unfair to rely solely on it for verification purposes. 
Furthermore, my research on the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) website indicates that credit bureaus are required to conduct thorough investigations rather than simply parroting information provided by creditors and collection agencies. Failure to do so may result in legal action under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
I am reaching out to you with the hope of resolving this matter amicably. However, if your company chooses not to take appropriate action, I will have no choice but to file multiple complaints and seek legal advice from an FCRA attorney. 
I urge you to conduct a new and thorough investigation into the disputed account and take the necessary steps to correct this issue promptly. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
