The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681, section 602 ( a ) emphasizes the importance of consumer reporting agencies acting responsibly with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for consumer privacy. XXXX, XXXX, and Experian are consumer reporting agencies, and as a consumer, I have the right to ensure that my private information is protected. This right is reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which mandates that financial institutions respect the privacy of their customers and protect the confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information. As per 15 USC 1681, section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies may only furnish a consumer report with the written consent of the consumer. I have not given XXXX, Experian, XXXX, or any financial institution my written consent to share my information. Therefore, any consent previously given, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is hereby revoked. According to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), financial institutions must inform consumers of their right to opt out of the disclosure of their nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties. I was not informed of this right by the information furnishers to credit agencies. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states that no consumer reporting agency may include adverse information in a consumer report that is older than seven years, except for records of convictions of crimes. The adverse account being reported by XXXX and Experian is without my permission and is against the law. Furthermore, 15 USC 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states that a person should not furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe it is inaccurate. Also, 15 USC 1681e requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain procedures to prevent violations of section 1681c and to ensure that reports are furnished only for permissible purposes. XXXX, XXXX, and Experian are failing to maintain these procedures. Lastly, under 12 CFR 1016.7, a consumer has the right to opt out at any time. I am exercising my right to opt out of the reporting services of XXXX, XXXX, and Experian.
