Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

This is my second attempt in regards of attempting to obtain remedy for the willful violations that are listed that XXXX In XXXX XXXX  which sold my non-public personal information to Genesis Credit Management , XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX Credit Bureaus that are listed below. Firstly, I would like to address the issue of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX and Genesis Credit Management are violating my privacy under the PRIVACY ACT OF 1974 by reporting my non-public personal information which is defined from the source 15 U.S.C . 6809 ( 4 ) ( A ) as the following : THE " TERM NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION " MEANS PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE FINANCIAL INFORMATION -- ( i ) provided by a consumer to a financial institution ( i ) provided by a consumer to a financial institution ; ( ii ) resulting from ANY TRANSACTION WITH THE CONSUMER OR ANY SERVICE PERFORMED FOR THE CONSUMER ; OR ( iii ) OTHERWISE OBTAINED BY THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION to my consumer credit report. Especially considering the fact that I have exercised my consumer rights TWICE to OPT OUT of any and all authorized previous consent that I the consumer may have given them, written or non-written verbal or non-verbal, per 15 U.S.C. 6802. Failing to honor my demand of expressing my consumer right to opt out of my non-public personal information being exchanged and traded gives me the right to express and exercise 15 U.S.C. 1681n is a section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) that specifically focuses on the willful noncompliance of anyone who is subject to the FCRA. In addition to addressing this same issue of reporting my non public personal information, XXXX In XXXX XXXX XXXX Genesis Credit Management XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX Credit Bureaus are in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681b - PERMISSIBLE PURPOSES OF CONSUMER REPORTS which states : Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS OF THE CONSUMER TO WHOM IT RELATES. This means that they need my written consent to add anything to my consumer report which I REVOKED their authorization which is a violation of FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT. Also, PUBLIC LISTING 90-321 ( 82 Stat. 146 ) which is a law that backs 15 U.S.C. 1681b, is even stricter as it states that any agency can ONLY get my report in response to a request by the head of State or local child support enforcement agency ( or a State or local government official authorized by the head of such an agency. ) In my 1st attempt to seek remedy with this issue, I wrote a letter to XXXX In XXXX XXXX  opting out of any previous consent that I may have given them, verbal and non-verbal written and non-written of sharing my non-public personal information to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and all XXXX party affiliates and non-affiliates. Their act of being non-compliant to my consumer right of the ability to opt out of my non-public information being shared has resulted in them willfully sharing my non-public personal information to Genesis Credit Management which has made illegal and harmful derogatory remarks on my consumer credit report with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX by reporting this account status as being in collection/charge-off since XX/XX/XXXX reported by XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX reporting XXXX XXXX and XXXX, which is XXXX willful violation from the credit bureaus themselves. Their admitting to this principal account being charged off, which is a certificate of indebtedness, proves that this account is considered being charged off taxable income per IRS PUBLICATION 4681 ( 2023 ) which also states that the debtor may need to report the canceled amount as income on their tax return. WITH THAT BEING SAID, XXXX In XXXX XXXX  and Genesis Credit Management , I REPEAT, HAS NOT FURNISHED ME WITH MY COPY OF A 1099-C FROM THE INITIAL DATE OF THEM PLACING THE ACCOUNT INTO A CHARGED OFF STATUS WHICH IS XX/XX/XXXX AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A COPY OF A 1099-C AS THE I.R.S.INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORMS 1099-A AND 1099-C GIVES INSTRUCTION OF WHO IS RESPONSIBLE OF FILLING A 1099-C, which I will attach a copy of in this complaint. Secondly, I will address the 2nd attempt issue of XXXX In XXXX XXXX  , Genesis Credit ManagemenXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX Credit Bureaus willfully violating my privacy under THE PRIVACY ACT OF 1974.
