Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (TX)

My application was submitted by American Express on XX/XX/XXXX. Since I gave you an asset backed security, and because it was already submitted electronically per 15 U.S. Code 7001 and applications can be transferred to 3rd parties per 12 U.S. Code 1832, I can not be denied. As you may be aware, it is against federal law in accordance with Title 15 Ch. 41 of the United States Code to threaten and discriminate against a consumer including adverse actions. Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1691 ( c ) you assume civil liability pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1691 ( e ). American Express, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX has violated my federally protected consumer rights such as : 5 U.S. Code 552a 15 U.S. Code 45 12 CFR 1002 Furthermore, Since the application sent to me dated XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  at is both proof and evidence of the use of my securities, they are criminally liable. Following this attempt to rectify, I filed complaints with the SEC. Amex should resort to reasonable procedures to amend this affair and compensate me for the use of my securities. Otherwise, this would be considered securities fraud since I have received NO BENEFIT. I have began my civil money penalties 12 CFR 215.11 as I have initially sent out notices on XX/XX/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 consumers right to privacy. '' XXXX and XXXX 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. '' American Express 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. '' American Express and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to XXXX, XXXX, American Express whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' XXXX, XXXX, American Express Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law. 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states " Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. XXXX and XXXX, American Express are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services.
