Please show me the proof you sent me giving me options on how I could opt out of sharing my nonpublic information and proof showing you gave me the option to not disclose my transaction history each month with a third party. 
The law states a consumer must give written consent to opt out of sharing their nonpublic information to the financial institution. I did this and you stated I did not have that right to opt out.

It is the policy stated by Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers to insure the security and confidentiality of their customer records and information. This includes protecting against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. 

I the consumer should have been given the opportunity, before such information was to be reported which gives me the option to direct you that such information should not be reported. I also should have been explained how I could exercise that nondisclosure option, which I was never advised. I have written multiple times, and you have continued to ignore my written request. 

Your failure to comply with the law and my written request has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Again, I am requesting to opt out of sharing my nonpublic information and for you to remove all my transaction history from all nonaffiliated third parties such as XXXX, XXXX, and Trans Union immediately. Otherwise, I will pursue legal actions for every month my nonpublic information has been reported which could be a fine of {$1000.00} per violation.

Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against sallie mae for reporting a late payment on my credit report without providing proper documentation to substantiate the alleged delinquency. Despite my written request for proof, the company has failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requirements. Below is a summary of my issue : Request for Proof of Late Payment : I requested that the student loan company provide specific documentation showing : The due date of the payment in question.

The actual payment date or proof that no payment was made.

Any notices or warnings they claim to have issued regarding the alleged late payment.

Proof that I receive the biling statement by providing mail tracking documents Inadequate Response : Instead of providing the requested documentation, the company sent a response containing only general loan documents and references to the original loan terms. This response did not address my specific request for proof of the late payment or the timing of any missed payment, nor did it include any billing records or payment history. 

Violation of FCRA Requirements : Under the FCRA, furnishers of credit information are required to verify and provide accurate records when a consumer disputes the accuracy of information reported to credit bureaus. In this case, the company has failed to meet these requirements. Since they have not provided proof of my delinquency, they are obligated to remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.
