Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), Section 602 underscores the necessity for consumer reporting agencies to fulfill their duties with fairness, impartiality, and regard for consumers ' privacy rights. XXXX and XXXX, operating as consumer reporting agencies, are obligated to adhere to these principles. As a consumer, I possess the right to protect my private information, as reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which mandates financial institutions to safeguard customer privacy and confidentiality.

According to 15 USC 1681, Section 604, a consumer reporting agency may only provide a consumer report with explicit written consent from the individual in question. XXXX, XXXX, and any financial institution ( referred to as the " Furnisher of information to credit agencies '' ) lack my consent to disclose this information, especially written consent. Thus, any prior consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, or implied, is hereby revoked. 

Furthermore, as outlined in 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), financial institutions must inform consumers of their right to opt out of disclosing information to nonaffiliated third parties. However, the " Furnisher of information to credit agencies '' failed to offer me this option. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in consumer reports without authorization, a violation committed by XXXX and XXXX. 

Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) prohibits furnishing inaccurate consumer information to consumer reporting agencies, while 15 U.S. Code 1681XXXX mandates consumer reporting agencies to maintain reasonable procedures to prevent violations and restrict the use of consumer reports to authorized purposes. XXXX and XXXX are evidently falling short of these standards. 

Moreover, 12 CFR 1016.7 ensures consumers the right to opt out of reporting services at any time, which I am now exercising.

In addition, under the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), agencies are prohibited from disclosing records without written consent from the individual, except under specific conditions, which were not met in this instance. The violation of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Privacy Act of 1974 is evident.
