Consumer Narrative
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681a and b ), consumer reporting agencies must fulfill their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. The Privacy Act of 1974 prohibits the disclosure of records without the individual 's explicit written consent. Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX have not obtained my consent for the report of the bankruptcy on my credit profiles. These companies need to remove this reporting due to inaccuracies in reporting and violations of Metro 2 compliance. Attached are court statements and an FTC report for identity theft as evidence. As per 15 USC U.S. Code 1681c-2, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information resulting from alleged identity theft, no later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agencies.
