I am filing a complaint against the consumer reporting agencies Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX for multiple violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and the Privacy Act of 1974. These violations have caused me significant harm finacially, I have suffered Emotional and psycholigical harm, I have missed financial opportunities, and lost of time attempting to correct these errors.

This has cause signifacte damage to my reputation and credit worthiness and has started to effect me emotionally and finically. Failure to Describe Opt-Out Policies ( 15 USC 6802 ( a ) ) Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX did not adequately describe their opt-out policies and procedures in their privacy notice.
