Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as outlined in 15 USC 1681 section 602, establishes the importance of consumer reporting agencies like XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX conducting their substantial responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumer privacy. Under 15 USC 6801, it is mandated that financial institutions maintain an ongoing duty to honor customer privacy and secure sensitive personal information. As such, COMENTIY BANK/JARED, categorized as a financial institution, is bound by these provisions. Specifically, 15 USC 1681 section 604 allows consumer reports to be furnished solely with the consumer 's written permission.

However, I have not provided COMENTIY BANK/JARED or the mentioned consumer reporting agencies with my consent, in any form, to share my information. Furthermore, under 15 USC 6802, a financial institution is prohibited from disclosing personal information to unrelated third parties without informing the consumer of their right to prevent such disclosure. I was not made aware of this right by COMENTIY BANK/JARED.

Moreover, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) restricts consumer reporting agencies from including certain negative information older than seven years in their reports. Any reporting of such outdated adverse information by these agencies without my consent is a violation of the FCRA. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) prohibits the dissemination of information by any entity if there is knowledge or reasonable belief that the information is incorrect.

Consumer reporting agencies are required by 15 U.S. Code 1681e to establish adequate procedures to prevent violations of section 1681c and ensure that consumer reports are only used for authorized purposes. Failure to maintain these procedures by XXXX, XXXX and XXXX would be non-compliant with the FCRA. Lastly, as per 12 CFR 1016.7, I am entitled to opt out of such reporting services at any time, which I am hereby exercising.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my extreme frustration and concern regarding the presence of fraudulent accounts on my credit report under your bureau. It has come to my attention that despite being aware of the fraudulent nature of these accounts, they persist on your records, tarnishing my financial integrity and causing undue distress. I was the victim & I'm not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. 

The fraudulent accounts in question are not only inaccurate but also a blatant violation of my financial security. I find it both bewildering and infuriating that your bureau has not taken immediate and aggressive action to rectify this egregious error, especially when other credit bureaus have already acknowledged and removed these fraudulent entries. 

XXXX XXXX - XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable.

I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

I demand, without further delay, the immediate and aggressive deletion of these fraudulent accounts from my credit report. This is not a mere request ; it is a demand for the protection of my financial reputation and well-being. 

I am appalled by the lack of urgency displayed by your organization in addressing such a serious matter. The persistence of these fraudulent accounts reflects not only on your bureau 's incompetence but also on a blatant disregard for consumer rights and the potential long-term consequences for my financial standing. 

I have attached supporting documentation, including evidence of the fraudulent nature of these accounts, for your immediate review. I expect a thorough and swift investigation, leading to the removal of these fraudulent entries from my credit report. 

I demand a comprehensive written response within 15 business days outlining the actions your bureau will take to rectify this situation. Failure to comply with this demand will leave me with no choice but to escalate this matter through legal channels and file formal complaints with the appropriate regulatory bodies. 
The severity of this situation can not be overstated, and I trust that you will treat it with the urgency and seriousness it demands.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my frustration and annoyance about the disputed accounts on my credit report. I demand that these accounts be removed immediately. I am confused as to how the other bureaus have already removed these accounts from their records, while your bureau has not. The creditors have already agreed to remove these accounts as they also manage to see the error on these accounts. I was the victim of identity theft, and it is not clear why your bureau is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit, and it is frustrating that your bureau is lagging behind. I demand that you take immediate action and remove these accounts from my credit report. The error has already been found, and I expect that you will follow the same course of action as the other bureaus and remove these accounts from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable, and it is your legal obligation to remove them. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
