This is further supported by 15 USC 6801, which obliges financial institutions to safeguard customer privacy and protect nonpublic personal information. The institution providing information to credit agencies in this instance is subject to these privacy standards. 
15 USC 1681 Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) specifies that a consumer report can only be furnished with the consumers written consent, which I did not provide to Equifax, XXXX or XXXX. Any prior consent I may have given is hereby revoked, whether it was verbal, non-verbal, implied, or otherwise. Furthermore, XXXX5 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) prohibits financial institutions from sharing nonpublic personal information with unaffiliated third parties unless consumers are fully informed of their right to opt out of such disclosures. I was never informed of this right. 
The adverse account reported without my permission is causing a great deal of hardship and strain. Under 15 USC 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ), no entity should submit information to a consumer reporting agency if it is known or suspected to be inaccurate. Additionally, 15 USC 1681e requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain reasonable procedures to prevent unauthorized disclosures. In this case, Equifax, XXXX and XXXX has failed to protect my information, leading to consequences I never agreed to and profoundly affecting my life.
