Complaint:
The fair credit reporting act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a says there is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness impartiality, and I respect for the consumers right to privacy. I have the right to make sure my private information isnt shared which is proven in 15 USC 6801 which states, '' it is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its consumers and to protect the security and confidentialities of those consumers non-public personal information. ( furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that in general subject to subjection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report on the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and consumer reporting agencies XXXX and XXXX do NOT have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do NOT have my written consent. Any and all consent to XXXX, XXXX, ( furnisher of information to credit agencies ) be verbal, nonverbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( a ) ( b ) states that a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third-party unless-the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option.

These accounts were an adverse items they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law 15 USC 1681 s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states a person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is in accurate. 15 US code 1681e states " every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681C of this title in to limit the furnishings of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. Also 12 CFR code 1016.7 says '' A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. " I am opting out of your reporting services. ''
