Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Louisiana Laws Dear CITIZNPAYXXXX, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and Louisiana Revised Statutes ( LRS ) Title 9, Section 3571.1, which governs consumer credit reporting, and identity theft protections under Louisiana Revised Statutes Title 14, Section 67.16. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that CITIZNPAYXXXX has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

Louisiana state law further reinforces this requirement. Under LRS 9:3571.1, credit reporting agencies must maintain strict accuracy in consumer credit information and ensure that no report is made without proper authorization. Additionally, Louisiana 's identity theft statute, LRS 14:67.16, explicitly prohibits the unauthorized use or reporting of personal information, underscoring the seriousness of this violation. 

I assert, with unwavering certainty, that I have not provided consent for CITIZNPAYXXXX to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for both federal and state laws. 

I demand that CITIZNPAYXXXX immediately cease any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and LRS 9:3571.1. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including Louisiana 's identity theft laws. 

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Louisiana state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that CITIZNPAYXXXX will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.
