Complaint narrative:
Pursuant to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( 1 ) A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless- 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 ; 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 a third party ; and the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. 
Notice, congress said that 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 a third party and the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. The fact that I was never given an explanation of how I can exercise that nondisclosure option is immediate grounds for removal. 
Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( 2 ) ( B ) any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device Should be excluded from a consumer report. The definition of a credit card under 15 USC 1681 is the same as it is under 15 USC 1602 ( I ) which is the term credit card means any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining, money, property, labor or services on credit. Notice, Congress said ANY card. The credit card is my social security card. This is the credit card I used to originate every consumer credit transaction below. They should all be removed from my consumer report pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( 2 ) ( B ). I am demanding that you remove these Transactions from my report immediately as they are a violation of my rights as a federally protected consumer under title 15 Chapter 41.

Congress has also advised against the request, disclosure, and use of social security numbers as a unique identifier for records or in the issuance of credit for any purpose outside of Health and Retirement disclosures and uses. 42 U.S. Code 408.

( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers.
