Consumer Narrative
I have been in contact with SUNBIT since XXXX 2022 in regards to two accounts showing on my credit report. I have tried disputing this with them directly to get it removed pursuant 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). There is no law that states SUNBIT is able to or required to furnish a consumer report in my name without my permission. It is a violation of my federally protected consumer rights. Pursuant 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA states, any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I did not give SUNBIT or its affiliates written permission to furnish a consumer report. These accounts have put a negative look on my credit report and is affecting my reputation as a federally protected consumer. Additionally, 15 USC 1681 ( 602 ) of the FCRA states, " It is the purpose of this title to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this title. '' It is clear that the FCRA is protecting the consumer and not the consumer reporting agencies by stating " reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer ''. SUBITS 's procedures are not fair and equitable to me as a consumer. Also their procedures are not confidential or proper and they are not in compliance with the requirements of this title if they have not received written instruction from me pursuant 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) ( 604 ). In order for SUNBIT to be in full compliance with the FCRA, they need my permission pursuant 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) ( 604 ), to furnish a consumer report. 15 USC 1681 ( 602 ) does not give permission to furnish a report.
