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 accounts 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 did not provide written consent to report them.

The continued inaccurate reporting of this account shows that these companies have failed to adopt reasonable procedures which are mandated by federal law. Aside from the inaccuracies there are several experiences listed on my credit report that occurred between me and this creditor which violates the FCRA. Further, the IRS says that a charge off/cancelled dept qualifies as income, and I am supposed to receive a 1099-c from the creditor to claim my income, ( which this creditor has failed to provide ). Specific information regarding my income should not be advertised on my credit report. Lastly I have never received a bill statement from this creditor in a timely manner as required by law, yet until this account closed they continued to credit my account with late payment and additional charges.

Complaint narrative:
Fair and accurate credit reporting is essential to the financial system, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The efficiency of the banking system is directly hampered by inaccurate credit reports, and unjust credit reporting practices erode public trust, which is necessary for the banking system to continue operating.

Therefore, the effectiveness of the banking system is hampered anytime there is a breach of the FCRA. Since I have choice over what is and is not included in my consumer report, this is a breach of my privacy. Identity theft occurs if any accounts are reported without my express written approval.

Both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 are broken by this.
