Consumer Narrative
Based on 15 US Code 1681, the banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate reporting of my credit. Unfair credit reporting by you has caused me to lose confidence in the banking system, making me not want to extend my credit to anyone. Pursuant to 15 US Code 1692 ( a ), there is abundant evidence of the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by many debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies, to marital instability, to the loss of jobs, and to invasions of individual privacy. These practices have been detrimental to my life. I have lost out on job opportunities. This has caused lost wages for me. This has caused physical stress on my body, having to work harder physically in order to maintain financial matters. This has caused mental anguish for me, especially during the times of my parents passing. Lacking the funds to properly burry my parents has been the absolute worst, and your inaccurate and unfair reporting has contributed to this. Based on 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ), I, the consumer, have a right to privacy. Equifax has violated my right to privacy by furnishing private information about me without any lawful authority or my written consent. All consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( b ). Reasonable procedures were not followed by Equifax and this is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( b ).
