I am writing to you today to express my concern about the unauthorized sharing of my personal information by XXXX and XXXX and TRANSUNION, XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. As a consumer, I have the right to privacy under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I believe that XXXX and XXXX and TRANSUNION XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX have violated my rights by sharing my information without my consent. 
Specifically, I am concerned about the following : * XXXX and XXXX and TRANSUNION and XXXX XXXX obtained my personal information from ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ), a financial institution that I have a relationship with. However, ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) did not have my consent to share my information with TRANSUNION, and XXXX and XXXX and XXXX XXXX * XXXX and XXXX and TRANSUNION and XXXX XXXX did not have my written consent to furnish a consumer report about me. Or any other personal information such as social security number, address, name * XXXX and XXXX and TRANSUNION furnished a consumer report about me that contained inaccurate information.

I am also exercising my right to opt out of TRANSUNION, XXXX and XXXX 's reporting services. I do not want my personal information to be shared with these companies or any other third parties. 
I appreciate your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon. 
Sincerely, XXXX " According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " 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. '' XXXX and XXXX and TRANSUNION are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers ' nonpublic personal information. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " 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. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX and XXXX and TRANSUNION do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent.
