If you are required to provide an opt out notice under 313.10 ( a ), you must provide a clear and conspicuous notice to each of your consumers that accurately explains the right to opt out under that section.

Please note that according to 15 U.S Code 6805. I have the right to opt out of ANYTHING on my report anytime and the company must comply as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the notice. They have given me unreasonable means to opt out, so I wrote my own letter to direct them to stop reporting in accordance with the laws that I have included.
