Consumer Narrative
Ive made several attempts to this company to stop reporting inaccurate information on my credit report, they refuse to do so and its causing me a world of trouble and stress. They did not complete a Social Security Form 3288 ( SSA-3288 ), which is required for permissible purpose under FCRA. This raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the information reported, as well as the adherence to privacy regulations. I obtained my credit report it is reporting numerous inaccurate negative accounts. This has not only damaged my right to extend credit but it has made loose hope and trust within the banking system. I have been denied credit cards home loans because of this and my character has not only been defamed but my mental and physical health have suffered greatly. There is no law that says a consumer reporting agency MUST furnish information about a consumer which is why congress made it very clear that XXXX, XXXX, equifax ASSUMED this VITAL role pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ). Also, XXXX, XXXX, equifax failed to be fair and respect my privacy according to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). I am requesting valid proof and documentation that these negative items were investigated fairly and properly. XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax is in violation of several federal laws including responsibility they have to protect my privacy. Im giving experian the opportunity to make this matter right by way of the following ; XXXX has ignored the fact that XXXX and the Bankruptcy court stated that they are not reporting this information to them XXXX and equifax has removed the information, XXXX is not abiding by fcra and fdcpa credit laws see attached documents.
