Therefore, I request that you provide me with copies of all privacy notices that should have been sent to me in accordance with the GLBA. Additionally, I would like to be informed if my non-public personal information has been shared with any non-affiliated third parties for marketing purposes, and if so, I am exercising my right to opt out of such sharing. 2. **FCRA Credit Reporting Impact** : As a result of any information sharing or other actions taken by your institution, I am concerned that my credit report may have been affected.

I kindly request that your institution promptly investigate these matters and provide me with the necessary documentation and information to address my concerns.
