My bank ( XXXX XXXX ) violated my consumer rights under the privacy act of 1974, the FCRA 15 USC 1681b, 15 USC 6801 -6805, 16 CFR 313.1, 16 CFR 313.7 and the terms and conditions credited to me upon the opening of my accounts with them. Experian, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX are all third party companies in which XXXX XXXX provided my information without my written or verbal consent and blatantly going against the terms and conditions in the consumer privacy notice. When I asked the three credit bureaus XXXX, XXXX, and Experian where they obtain the misinformation on my credit report from they received it from a 3rd party of some sort but would not fully disclose the matter. XXXX XXXX said they received the information from my bank and that's who I would have to take up the matter with. I asked early warning did they receive my letter to opt out they said that they don't give me an option to opt out because they don't provide a product of any sort. XXXX would not fully disclose any information Even though I reached out to them numerous times via email and letter their reason was they were unable to confirm my identity because of the misinformation one of the credit XXXX had on my credit report they spell my name XXXX and allowed things on my credit that were not authorized by me. These violations hurt me financially mentally and emotionally to the point where I even lost my fiance behind the financial hardship that it has cause overtime.
