Complaint:
I did not provide the credit reporting agencies with written permission to report any of these accounts ( Namely : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) I am requesting to be removed. 

That is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

This leads way to identity theft. 
We know that the definition of a credit card per 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( l ), means any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. 

That means if I did not provide a company ( company reporting ) with consent to share your credit card ( ID, SSN, etc ) with another entity ( the credit reporting agency ) this is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 Block 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 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; a copy of an identity theft report ; the identification of such information by the consumer ; and a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. 

1681. Congressional findings and statement of purpose Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers. 

Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. 

There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. 

Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this title to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this title. 

I demand the credit reporting agency do what is fair and equitable and remove the following accounts based on federal violations 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 15 USC 1602 ( l ), and 15 USC 1681s-2 : the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
