Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

I am writing to address a matter concerning a written dispute submitted to Goldman Sachs on XX/XX/XXXX, through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). Despite receiving a response to the dispute from Goldman Sachs, I find it necessary to express my dissatisfaction with the handling of my concerns. While I appreciate the acknowledgment of my initial dispute by Goldman Sachs, it is disappointing to note that the response lacked a thorough review and failed to address the provisions I cited from the United States Codes ( USC ) and Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ). The notice provided did not offer any useful information to assist in resolving my concerns.

My initial dispute to the CFPB outlined Goldman Sachs obligation, pursuant to 16 CFR 313.7 and 313.10 ( a ), to provide consumers with a clear and conspicuous opt-out notice regarding the disclosure of non-public personal information to nonaffiliated third parties. 

Goldman Sachs mentioned in the correspondence that they are obligated to report factual information to credit reporting agencies. While I acknowledge this obligation, my initial dispute explicitly requested that the opt-out encompass not only adverse actions but also my transactions and experiences. 

Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 1 ), a consumer report encompasses various aspects of an individual 's creditworthiness and personal characteristics. However, pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), it specifies that consumer reports do not include information solely pertaining to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the entity making the report. 

Nonetheless, despite this acknowledgment, my transactional data, encompassing account balances and utilization, continues to be disseminated to credit reporting agencies. Given Goldman Sachs affirmation of my opt-out directive pertaining to the sharing of non-public personal information, I hereby demand unequivocal written confirmation that Goldman Sachs shall adhere to the stipulation of refraining from reporting adverse actions and transactional data, including account balances and utilization, to consumer reporting agencies. 

Despite Goldman Sachs internal policies regarding reporting to credit bureaus, my request aligns with U.S. Codes mandated by federal law. These codes hold legal authority and serves as the foundation for enforcing federal regulations. 

As a consumer, I assert my rights under the Privacy Act of 1974 to opt out of certain reporting activities to Goldman Sachs, including : Prohibiting the sharing of my creditworthiness information with Goldman Sachs affiliates for their everyday business purposes. 

Restricting the sharing of only my transactional experiences with non-affiliated entities. 

Preventing the disclosure of my personal information to Goldman Sachs affiliates for marketing purposes. 

Ensuring that my personal information is not disclosed to non-affiliated entities for marketing or everyday business purposes. 

To address these concerns, I request the following resolutions to my complaint : 1. Demand Goldman Sachs to comply with my opt-out directive, pursuant to 16 CFR 313.7 and 313.10 ( a ), at the earliest opportunity upon receipt. While I acknowledge the existence of Goldman Sachs privacy notice, I maintain the right to opt out of the sharing of my non-public personal information with non-affiliated entities, including credit reporting agencies such as XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. 

XXXX. Demand Goldman Sachs to refrain from reporting information to my consumer credit report that solely pertains to transactions, experiences, or adverse actions, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ).

3. Exercising my privacy rights, I hereby revoke all authorizations granted to Goldman Sachs, whether written, non-written, verbal, or nonverbal, in accordance with 5 U.S. Code 552a. This action asserts my control over the disclosure of personal information, encompassing authorizations granted through various means such as written consent, verbal agreements, or non-written and nonverbal actions. 

a. This revocation notifies Goldman Sachs that I am withdrawing any previous authorizations provided for the disclosure of my personal information. This includes authorizations for purposes such as marketing, data sharing with affiliates and non-affiliates, and the reporting of nonpublic personal information, including adverse actions and transactional experiences, which should not be reported on my consumer credit profile. 

I anticipate prompt attention to this matter and a resolution in accordance with regulatory requirements. Additionally, I request that all my business and personal products remain open and active while I am in dispute with Goldman Sachs. 

I do not wish for any of my accounts to be closed for any reason, and I hope that Goldman Sachs will abide by this request, allowing us to continue our long-standing relationship.
