Consumer Narrative
For your consideration, All three credit bureaus have incorrect phone numbers listed on my credit report. Because my changes of phone numbers have been numerous over the decades this could place me in a vulnerable position in society for companies reviewing my credit using filters on number of phone number changes. Unfortunately, there are hidden and unfair forms of stigma and discrimination in society one of which involves black box algorithms which filter according to categories such as numbers of changes of phone numbers. Such black box algorithms are hidden forms of stigma and discrimination on the part of lenders and other companies reviewing my credit. To protect my right to privacy from these and other unethical forms of practice until these come under greater regulatory scrutiny please remove from all of my credit reports mention of previous phone numbers in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy. 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 604 A. Section 2 States a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account with my written instructions which none of the three major credit reporting agencies have obtained from me.
