Complaint narrative:
As a consumer ( designated under 15 USC ) I have a RIGHT to a FAIR and ACCURATE consumer report. But I have recently received a copy on my consumer reports and I noticed EQUIFAX, XXXX, and XXXX have unlawfully PUBLISHED transactions ( LATE PAYMENT, and USE of SPENDING/UTILIZATION RATE ) on my consumer report that are excluded by law as per the FCRA 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ).

( 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; A consumer 's transactions are excluded from the consumer reports. XXXX and or any other Risk score or algorithm that you use to calculate a consumer ' credit score is not a factor where the consumer report is concerned! Definition of what the consumer report means.

Consumer Report ( 1 ) In general. The term consumer report means any written, oral, or other communication of any information by a consumer reporting agency bearing on a consumers credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living which is used or expected to be used or collected in whole or in part for the purpose of serving as a factor in establishing the consumers eligibility for ( A ) credit or insurance to be used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes ; ( B ) employment purposes ; or ( C ) any other purpose authorized under section 1681b of this title.

FICO or none of its factors are not defined or included in the definition of the consumer report! Therefore the reporting of transactions between the consumer ( XXXX ) and the Person ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) is a violation of 15 USC 1681a the definition of the consumer report does not include XXXX or XXXX which makes their factors or algorithm not a factor where the consumer report is concerned.
