Consumer complaint received 2024-10-03 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and New York Laws Dear LVNV FUNDING LLC, 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 ), as well as identity theft fraud laws under New York State Penal Law 190.80 . 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that LVNV FUNDING LLC has already 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 ).

In addition to federal law, New York State law, specifically under Penal Law 190.80 ( Identity Theft in the First Degree ), underscores the seriousness of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, including unauthorized credit reporting. Such actions not only violate my rights under federal law but also infringe upon New Yorks stringent identity theft protections. 

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for LVNV FUNDING LLC 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 federal and state laws. 

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that LVNV FUNDING LLC immediately ceases 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 New York State Penal Law 190.80. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity theft and fraud laws.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and New York 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 LVNV FUNDING LLC will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.
