Consumer Narrative
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX are illegally reporting late payments on to my consumer report without my consent. Ive been in contact with XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to have this information removed off of my consumer report since I did not give them my consent. They have willfully non-complied with my request even with me stating the laws under the FCRA that they are governed by. I informed them that Late payments is a transaction with the line of credit that was extended between the consumer me ( XXXX XXXX ) and the person XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX that is making the report. Congress clearly states that the report of transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report is not included on the consumer report. You have violated the FCRA 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( I ) by reporting this transaction on my consumer report which Congress clearly states is not included on my consumer report. Ive informed them that they have 10 calendar days to delete all late payment transactions listed but they have failed to comply. So I am seeking remedies to this matter. 15 U.S. Code 1681a - Definitions ; rules of construction ( 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( A ) subject to section 1681s3 of this title, any ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ;
