Dear CFPB, I would like to file a complaint agent Equifax, XXXX and XXXX for violation of my consumer rights. These agencies are violating my rights under the Privacy Act of 1974, FERPA, and other laws that protect my consumer rights. Im being violated on purpose! Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I have requested to opt out any and all authorizations that may have been given either verbal or non-verbal written or otherwise expressed per 15 USC 6802, Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information. this Title it is outlined that a financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information. These companies listed in this letter state they do not disclose information to third parties of which they wrongfully lied and have violated my rights as a consumer. The proof is the information found in my consumer credit reports. 
15 USC 1681 ( 2 ) states, In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. The consumer reporting agency must have my written consent. I have never provided them written consent and when I requested they produce this information it was not furnished as it was never given. This is no my third attempt seeking remedy and enforcement of my consumer rights. 
I have reported to all the agencies my correct information including verifying my identify, and unfortunately they still are reporting inaccurate information. The only address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. All other addresses listed are non-mailable addresses. 
These agencies and companies are also violating my consumer rights protected under the FERPA ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ; 34 CFR Part 99 ) in which the federal law protects the privacy of my student education records. This is also in accordance to violations of my rights under 15 USC 1666 ( a ) and ( b ) Regulation of credit reports and Timing of payments. Under these section it states that a creditor can not directly or indirectly threaten to report or take any adverse action, it also states a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. 
These agencies have also failed to safety secure my personal information. Each agency has confirmed that my information was subjected to theft due to their data breach within their systems. They failed to protect PI and have yet to offer a remedy. 
Im requesting that my credit report be reflected correctly within all Agencies and again be investigated thoroughly and correctly.
