A consumer reporting agency may Not furnish my consumer report without written instruction from me under 15 U.S. Code 1681b Section 604 which states : 15 U.S. Code 1681b Section 604- Permissible purposes of consumer reports ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( XXXX ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. 

I HAVE NOT PROVIDED WRITTEN INSTRUCTION TO : Account Name : XXXX Account # XXXX Account Name : XXXX  XXXX # XXXX Account Name : XXXX  XXXX # XXXX XXXX Transunion TO FURNISH MY CONSUMER REPORT. THIS VIOLATES 15 U.S. Code 1681b.

They are also in violation of 15 U.S. Code 6802 which reads : 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information ( 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.
