According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section XXXX states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their own grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' Equifax and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' 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. '' ( XXXX ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section XXXX a section XXXX states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), 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. '' ( XXXX ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies Equifax and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to Equifax, XXXX, whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' ( XXXX ) Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option.

State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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 ( XXXX ) 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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
1. Comenity Bank violated Contract Law by closing, adversely reporting on, and then selling my ULTA consumer credit card account ( and all personal information tied to it ) to XXXX XXXX XXXX, thus bypassing the contracted Arbitration Clause. ( See attached ). 

2. Comenity Bank has caused damages to my person by falsely claiming the charged off credit card account caused damages to their company. This contradicts their companies XXXX0k, filed with Securities & Exchange Commission ( Commission file number 001-15749 ) wherein it states on page F-30 : " An asset-backed security is a security whose value and income payments are derived from and collateralized by a specified pool of underlying assets in our case, our credit card loans. The sale of the pool of underlying assets to general investors is accomplished through a securitization process. We regularly sell our credit card loans to our Trusts, which are consolidated. The liabilities of these consolidated VIEs include asset-backed securities for which creditors, or beneficial interest holders, do not have recourse to our general credit. '' 3. Comenity harmed me due to their failure to properly handle the custodial account. The account was supposed to be set-off by Comenitys trustee, with the initial promissory note that was securitized, thus funding the account. It was the trustees fiduciary duty to balance the books for the account, and pay the dividends owed to me from securitizing my receivables, monthly.

Per the Securities Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3 and Related Interpretations : 15c3-3 Customer protection - reserves and custody of securities.

15c3-3 ( a ) ( 1 ) The term customer shall mean any person from whom or on whose behalf a broker or dealer has received or acquired or holds funds or securities for the account of that person 15c3-3 ( a ) ( 1 ) /01 Customer/Non-Customer Classification Certain accounts shown on the books of the broker-dealer shall be classified as customer or non-customer as follows : Customer - A broker-dealer to the extent it maintains an account designated as Special Custody Account for the Exclusive Benefit of Customers of ( name of broker-dealer ) which meets the criteria described in interpretation 15c3-3 ( c ) ( 7 ) /01 ;

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Request for Documentation and Action Regarding Unauthorized Inquiry and Security Interest Dear Barclays Bank, I am writing to address a concerning matter regarding an inquiry reported by Barclays Bank, which lacks permissible purpose and, as such, constitutes potential identity fraud. Per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 604 and 605B, I am requesting immediate action to rectify this situation. 

Firstly, I require documentation proving that I provided express written consent for Barclays Bank to report the inquiry in question. As there is no evidence of such consent or a court order, I must assert that this inquiry lacks legitimacy and is thus subject to removal.

Per the FCRA Section 605B, a consumer reporting agency must block the reporting of any information resulting from alleged identity theft when identified by the consumer. Therefore, I am formally notifying Barclays Bank to remove this inquiry from my file within four business days.

Furthermore, it has come to my attention that Barclays Bank neglected to inform me of my right to rescission, as outlined in the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), specifically Regulation Z ( 12 CFR 1026.23 ). This allows me to revoke any rights waived, particularly those related to the security interest. I am requesting the CUSIP number associated with the security interest provided to Barclays Bank. Failure to provide this information will leave me with no alternative but to initiate a level 3 audit on my account.

I expect prompt compliance with these requests to avoid further escalation of this matter. Failure to do so will be regarded as willful noncompliance and may result in legal action.

Please provide confirmation of receipt of this letter and a timeline for resolution of these issues.
