Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681, section 602a ) requires agencies like XXXX and XXXX to operate fairly, respecting consumers ' privacy. 
I am asserting my right to privacy, as outlined in 15 USC 6801. This law states that financial institutions, like those supplying data to credit agencies, must respect and protect their customers ' private information. I haven't given XXXX, XXXX, or any data provider explicit written permission to share my details, so any previous consent I might have given is now withdrawn. 

Additionally, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) specifies that financial institutions can not share personal data with third parties without informing the consumer how they can prevent such sharing. I wasn't given this information. Also, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) restricts agencies from reporting certain negative details that are more than XXXX years old. This hasn't been followed in my case. 

Furthermore, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) from 1974 protects students ' education records. As outlined in 20 USC 1232g ( b ), it applies to all educational institutions, from elementary to post-secondary, whether public or private.

Lastly, 15 U.S. Code sections 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A and 1681e require that institutions don't share incorrect consumer data and that agencies like XXXX and XXXX have measures to avoid breaches. I believe these measures aren't being followed. According to 12 CFR 1016.7, I can opt out of reporting services at any time, and I'm choosing to do so now.
