Consumer Narrative
I have tried several attempts to get the credit bureau to allow me my right by law to opt out and they have denied me several times. My first attempt took place on XX/XX/2022. Since then I have made XXXX additional attempts in writing and by phone. They have also denied me my right by law to have all inquiries removed from my credit report that were not made with my knowledge of what was happening. Many companies use unfair and illegal tactics to have access to my credit as I explained to this credit bureau and they did not respond. I plan to send XXXX last letter in an attempt to correct this issue in conjunction with this letter. I want to be clear that 15UFC6802 states that 15USC8802 states that it is illegal for the credit bureaus to not allow me to opt out of any information reporting to my credit report. They keep denying me that right. Debts and charge offs are certificates of indebtness by law and are forms of income. Income is not supposed to be reported on credit reports. It is unlawful to report transaction history. 15CFR313 16CFR433.2 16CFR433.3 I have become homeless and not able to obtain a new home for me and my children as a result of credit bureaus breaking laws and being unethical. I also had lots of trouble obtaining basic transportation for me and my children due to the credit bureaus misrepresenting me on countless occasions to the banks, real estate companies, home financing, vehicle financing, business credit PG, and more. I have been humiliated, depressed, and no place to turn to. This misreporting has ruined my life. I made attempts to fix it in the past as well, but I am only reporting my most recent attempts.
