Consumer Narrative
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and XXXX Connecticut Laws Dear CAP ONE AUTO, 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 identity fraud laws, specifically Connecticut 's identity theft laws. It has unequivocally come to my attention that CAP ONE AUTO 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, Connecticut state law, particularly under Section 53a-129a of the Connecticut Penal Code, outlines clear protections for consumers against unauthorized use of personal information, including identity theft. This law highlights the seriousness of misusing someones identity, particularly in credit reporting scenarios, and reinforces the rights of victims to seek legal recourse. I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for CAP ONE AUTO 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 CAP ONE AUTO 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 Connecticut 's identity theft laws. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws. I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Connecticut 's state laws. 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 CAP ONE AUTO will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. Done in good faith.
