THIS LAW IS REQUIRING THIS CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY TO PROVIDE A COURT ORDERED DEBT COMPLETE WITH SEAL OF THE COURT AND SIGNED BY CLERK, AND DEPUTY CLERKS SIGNATURE IS NOT A JUDICIAL SIGNATURE PURSUANT 11TH CIRCUIT FEDERAL COURT OF APPEALS Scanbe Mfg. Co. v. Tryon, 400 F.2d 598 ] [ hn. 1 ( 9th Cir. 1968 ), emphases added ] Inasmuch as all writs and processes issuing from a court of the United States are required, by statute, to be under seal of court and signed by clerk thereof, an injunction signed only by deputy clerk of district court is not void for want of a judicial signature. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602a 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. '' Equifax, 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. '' ( 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 Equifax, 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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) 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 ( Me ) is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) 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. Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX 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 forever. I am requesting for a proper investigation according to the law. Investigate every piece of information on the accounts I have listed below. According to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 everything MUST be 100 % accurate. Not 99.9 %, 80 %, 60.2 % but a 100 % accurate. According to the FRCA The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. I know and believe its not accurate and I have some stuff already circled of inaccuracy. Plus, I know and believe a proper investigation will not be done how the law says it should be done to find out if it was accurate. Plus, I also stated I was opting out, and I have that right to do so. I do not consent, and I am reserving my rights. I am requesting immediate deletion of the accounts listed below, { {$1000.00} } per violation of the FCRA, and for my credit score to be reflected and updated. I believe that's fair enough. I also believe the courts would award me more, what I'm asking for is ( me ) willing to settle. The laws I provided are to protect the consumer ( me ) and for you to follow respectfully. Remove XXXX XXXX account, and XXXX XXXX.
