Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 section 602a ), it is emphasized that consumer reporting agencies must carry out their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. As a consumer, I assert my right to ensure the non-disclosure of my private information, as supported by 15 USC 6801, which stipulates the obligation of financial institutions to uphold customer privacy and protect nonpublic personal information. 
A financial institution, classified as a " Furnisher of information to credit agencies, '' is mandated by 15 USC 1681 section 604a ( 2 ) to furnish consumer reports only in accordance with the written instructions of the respective consumer. I want to make it clear that None of these FURNISHER OF INFORMATION ( third-party companies that are not affiliated to EXPERIAN, XXXX OR XXXX ) have my consent to share this information, and they certainly lack my written consent. 
Referring to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( b ) ( c ), a financial institution is prohibited from disclosing nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without informing the consumer of their right to exercise the nondisclosure option. Unfortunately, the " Furnisher of information to credit agencies '' did not provide me with the necessary information to exercise this right. 
Moreover, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) explicitly prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in a consumer report without authorization, especially if it concerns records antedating the report by more than XXXX years. These account, reported to XXXX, XXXX and Experian, constitutes an adverse item without my permission, violating the law. 
Section XXXX ( A ) ( XXXX ) of the XXXX XXXX further emphasizes that information should not be furnished to a consumer reporting agency if there is knowledge or reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. XXXX, XXXX and Experian seem to be neglecting their duty to maintain reasonable procedures, as required by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX states '' XXXX consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section XXXX of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section XXXX of this title., aimed at avoiding violations and limiting the furnishing of consumer reports to specific purposes outlined in section XXXX. 
Additionally, as per XXXX CFR XXXX states that " A consumer XXXX exercise the right to opt out at any time. ", I AM EXERCISING MY RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF YOUR REPORTING SERVICES.

A consumer reporting agency XXXX only furnish information to a consumer report when the consumer has given " written instructions '' authorizing the release of their information. I know for FACT I did not give nor do you have my written instructions to furnish my information. Since I did not give you written consent to do such, that is identity theft. 

According to XXXX XXXX XXXX : Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than XXXX business days after the date of receipt by such agency of. 
You must take action right away and block/remove information from my credit report I did not give no consent to, which is identity theft. The lack of awareness raises serious concerns about the security and protection of my personal information within your system.

I Instruct that your credit bureau delete and remove all the items listed above due to me not giving you written instruction to furnish this information.

I, XXXX XXXX state that the information you are reporting is not information relating to any transaction that I made by myself.
