Consumer Narrative
AFFIDAVIT OF FACT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ATTENTION : TRANSUNION RE : XXXX, XXXX XXXX - SSN # XXXX Email : XXXX To whom it may concern, YOU BROKE THE LAW! Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) - The banking system is dependent upon my consumer report being fair and accurate. After looking at my consumer report I realized that my report is inaccurate, and this inaccurate report is unfair to me because I was never notified when this inaccurate information was furnished. Also, I was never notified during your companys initial investigation that you were going to report this information. This grave error has undermined my confidence in you companys procedures, and as a result of this I will no longer be extending credit, and if this information is not removed, I no longer want my information in your companys database. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) Your company is a powerless elaborate mechanism. This mishap that your company has caused has ruined my reputation, and it has adversely affected my credit worthiness. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ) You were not given expressed permission by me, the consumer, or a competent court of jurisdiction. So, not only did you fail in the initial investigation of this information. You were assumed this role, and assumed this information was valid. Which is a violation of my consumer rights. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) You did not ensure that this information was accurate, and you did not exercise your grave responsibility with fairness and impartiality. You took one side of the story and never consulted with me to find out if these transactions even took place. As a result of this my privacy was breached, and this violated my right to privacy. ( See Exhibit A ) Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( d ) ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) Congress makes it clear that a consumer report should NOT include transactions between the consumer and the person making the report. This alleged transaction that you are reporting and failed to investigate, whether it took place, can be categorized as a transaction that took place between the consumer and the person making the report. Which means it should not be in my consumer report and in fact is a violation of my consumer rights. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( d ) ( 2 ) ( a ) ( iii ) In your initial investigation, I was never given the opportunity to deny this information being communicated on my consumer report. Pursuant to all the facts I stated above, here are my written instructions as to what I, a consumer in fact want removed from my report immediately. I also DO NOT authorize any automated response or e- Oscar verification method.
