Consumer Narrative
I have recently reviewed my credit report and noticed some unauthorized accounts on my credit report and under 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ), the credit reporting agencies have illegally assumed this role without MY permission not only that I NEVER GAVE them my consent to report this information to anyone. They did not respect my right to privacy which is clearly state in 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). The credit reporting agencies have NOT exercised their grave responsibility, they were unfair, they were partial and because of that they each have violated my consumer rights. The credit reporting agencies have NEVER had a permissible purpose Under 1681 ( b ) ( 2 ). I never instructed your company to furnish this report and I never consented to this report in the first place.
