'' XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681, Section 604a, Section 2, states that " In general, subject to Subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.
