The violations pertain to inaccurate reporting of account history on my credit file, which has caused significant financial and emotional distress.

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOT ONE NOTICE IN REGARD TO THE COLLECTING AND DISTRIBUTION OF MY PRIVATE FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE POLICY OR PRACTICES WHEN IT COMES TO DISCLOSING MY PRIVATE NON PUBLIC INFORMATION TO ANY 3RD PARTY INSTITUTION! 

NOT ONE OPPORTUNITY WAS GIVEN AT ANY PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. 

Customer Rights : Consumers have the right to be informed about what personal financial information is collected, how it is used, and to opt out of certain sharing of that information. 
The Act aims to strike a balance between protecting consumer privacy and allowing financial institutions the flexibility to operate in a competitive market. 

They have shared my private financial information and also have closed my account in which is a violation of the Administrative Procedures Act and are still conspiring against me with all 3rd party credit reporting agencies and damaging my public reputation!

5 U.S. Code 552a - Records maintained on individuals not only have you violated laws but you also have conspired against me with these 3rd party institutions and caused me harm in those violations. 

According to 18 U.S. Code 241 -which deals with conspiracy against rights if two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth , Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States , or because of his having so exercised the same ; or if two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so securedThey shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both ; and if XXXX  results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to XXXX. 

[ Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit an illegal act, along with an intent to achieve the agreement 's goal. Most U.S. jurisdictions also require an overt act toward furthering the agreement. An overt act is a statutory requirement, not a constitutional one. See XXXX XXXX United StatesXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX ). The illegal act is the conspiracy 's " target offense. 

Conspiracy generally carries a penalty on its own. In addition, conspiracies allow for derivative liability where conspirators can also be punished for the illegal acts carried out by other members, even if they were not directly involved. Thus, where one or more members of the conspiracy committed illegal acts to further the conspiracy 's goals, all members of the conspiracy may be held accountable for those acts. 
Under FCRA 16 313.2 and 15 USC 6802, consumers maintain the right to control the dissemination of their personal information and to opt-out of any authorizations previously granted to companies. As such, I am exercising my rights under these statutes and hereby opt-out of any and all authorizations that may have been in effect with your company.
