This means that you the financial institution may not disclose any information through any affiliate.

The definition of Affiliate is stated to be by the knowledge of congress as The term affiliate means any company that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with another company.

The definition of a nonaffiliated Third Party is stated to be by the knowledge of congress as The term nonaffiliated third party means any entity that is not an affiliate of, or related by common ownership or affiliated by corporate control with, the financial institution, but does not include a joint employee of such institution.

( b ) Opt-out ( 1 ) In general A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; ( So by congress law and knowledge you are reporting inaccurate information that is disclosed between the agreement and account we have as a consumer and financial institution. Because in bold I never receive those disclosers on how this can not be reported by MY CHOICE. ) ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. 
Which I was not given when I accepted the student Loan if so I would have not had the info reporting to my consumer report. 
I was never given any form to opt out nor any emails, mail, or marketing saying I could. 
I never received these two documents : ( Truth & Lending Discloser, nor the Bailed Act First Discloser ) this account information by definition must be removed or updated in the next ten days of receiving this letter in express mail.
