Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: Perhaps I should reclarify. With the poorly given response I recieved from Equfiax on XX/XX/XXXX from my orginal compliant iv opened on XX/XX/XXXX regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to Furnish my Information without my given consent to the Credit Reporting Agency Equifax also in violation from going against my consent reporting these innacurcies on my credit report. From the Fair Credit Report Act itself specifically 15 USC 1681 section 602 states. " There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibility with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer 's right to privacy '' this response itself is completely against my fairness and needs of my right to privacy. As the consumer it is my absolute right that my private information is NOT shared. 15 USC 6801 " It is policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers. ' nonpublic personal information. '' 15 USC 1681 section 04 a section 2 further explaining " in general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' again ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) in this case XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The Financial institution and Credit Reporting Agency, Equifax are in complete violation without my given CONSENT. For one, where was the written instruction or consent iv provided to you ( Equifax ) in Marking my account with derogatory remarks from my inaccurate payment history? Written or non-written consent was NOT given at all to Furnish this information whatsoever. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third partyunless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' The credit reporting agency Equifax as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was not given ANY permission to my nondisclosure option of having them give you my information to be marked on my credit report in the first place. Once again completely against the Privacy Act of 1974 " ( b ) Conditions of Disclosure.No agency shall disclose any record which is contained in a system of records by any means of communication to any person, or to another agency, except pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to whom the record pertains '' As i've Previously filed a complaint on Equifax and XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX on CFPB for this exact reason WITH complete compliance and confession of the listed inaccuracies Credit Reporting Agencies Equifax and XXXX had accumulated without my knowledge OR consent after i have filed this CFPB compliant and they had complied of there MULTIPLE Violations ( Credit Reporting Agency Equifax and XXXX + XXXX XXXX XXXX ). As well as with the Furnisher of Information to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The Dates, Amount payments, and Derogatory remarks XXXX attached on this complaint from Equifax, XXXX as well as XXXX are all in contradiction with each other and falling under inaccurate reporting of 15 USC 1681 ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. On the contrary it is both the ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as the Credit Reporting Agency Equifax in this complaint that are in all violations i have mentioned above. In conclusion I am reopening this case for the proper correction of these REPEATED CONTINUED violations. From both the ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as Equifax. To be dealt with as i've mentioned in my Fair resolution to this issue text box. I Expect to have my final response and resolution to this issue in less than 30 days if possible as my original response from Equifax and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was done horribly. Do better and fix this immediately.
