Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I swear all information provided herein under the penalty of perjury is true and accurate to the best of my ability and knowledge. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ), it is mandated to ensure that consumer reporting agencies conduct their duties with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for my right to privacy. As a consumer, I am entitled to safeguard my private information, as supported by 15 USC 6801, which emphasizes the obligation of financial institutions to uphold customer privacy and confidentiality. 

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies such as XXXX and Experian and XXXX are only permitted to furnish consumer reports with the explicit written instructions of the concerned consumer. However, I have not provided any such consent for them or any furnisher of information to credit agencies to share my information. The Accounts in question are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) stipulates that financial institutions can not disclose nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties without informing the consumer about their right to opt out of such disclosures. However, I have not been given this option by the furnisher of information to credit agencies. 


Moreo

ver, 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in consumer reports without authorization. Yet, this account is being reported adversely without my consent, violating the law. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) mandates that information furnished to consumer reporting agencies must be accurate, while 15 U.S. Code 1681e req
uires consumer reporting agencies to maintain reasonable procedures to prevent violations of FCRA sections and to limit consumer report furnishing to permissible purposes. However, XXXX and Experian and XXXX are not adhering to these standards. 

Lastly, 12 CFR 1016.7 affirms the consumer 's right to opt out at any time. Therefore, I am choosing to exercise my right to opt out of your reporting services.
