Complaint:
I requested and received my reports from XXXX, Experian and XXXX and they have incorrect information reported on them including ; addresses, spelling of my name, phone numbers, employment, XXXX party reporting ( especially a collection from XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and payment history. I do not feel that my privacy has been respected nor the following upheld ; Privacy Act of 1974, 16 CFR 313- Privacy of Consumer Financial Information and 15 USC 6801 - Protection of nonpublic personal information ( a ) Privacy obligation policy It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. 
( b ) Financial institutions safeguards In furtherance of the policy in subsection ( a ), each agency or authority described in section 6805 ( a ) of this title, other than the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, shall establish appropriate standards for the financial institutions subject to their jurisdiction relating to administrative, technical, and physical safeguards ( 1 ) to insure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information ; ( 2 ) to protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records ; and ( 3 ) to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. 

Because of this, and to avoid any further confusion or harm to me or my family due to these reporting errors, per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I am now opting out of any and all authorization I, the consumer, may have given to any of these companies ; written, unwritten or verbal, past, current or future.

15 USC 6802. ( a ) Notice requirements Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information, unless such financial institution provides or has provided to the consumer a notice that complies with section 6803 of this title.

( b ) Opt out ( 1 ) In general A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. 

Please help me ensure only one proper spelling of my name and my current mailing address are present on my reports. The employment currently listed has never been accurate and must also be removed. 

Please also ensure the information inaccurately reported by XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX is removed per XXXX CFR XXXX - Preservation of consumers ' claims and defenses, unfair or deceptive acts or practices.
