XXXX, and Experian are consumer reporting agencies, and I am the consumer. I exercise my right to make certain that my private information isnt shared which is backed by 15 US Code 6801 which states, It is the policy of 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 non public information. 15 US Code 1681 ( e ) reads, Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681 ( c ) of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under 1681 ( b ) of this title.
