Consumer Narrative
I initiated communication with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX by sending a letter requesting them to opt me out of reporting for account number XXXX. Regrettably, not only did they neglect to fulfill my request, but their response was unrelated to my original letter, which explicitly asked for opting out of reporting. I have attached the original opt-out letter, two documents providing opt-out laws and their definitions, and a copy of the account details and reporting from all three reporting agencies, XXXX credit card agreement to show they have arbitration in their agreement as well as their arbitration instructions document. The documents reveal several inaccuracies present in the reports, and all relevant dates and information pertaining to this complaint have been provided for your review.
