Complaint narrative:
I was looking at all of my consumer credit reports, and Ive noticed many discrepancies in my report that have prohibited me from obtaining extensions of my own credit from various financial institutions. My privacy is important to me and there are a number of companies that have furnished my personal information to Experian, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX without my expressed authorization under an unconscionable contract. These consumer reporting agencies have not verified that the creditors on my report obtained authorization lawfully from me in writing and are reporting fraudulent data on my report.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 states " There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' Experian, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX are all consumer reporting agencies and I am the XXXX. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared pursuant to 15 USC 6801, which states " It is the policy of the 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 nonpublic personal information.

Under 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) it states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is explained how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' The Furnishers listed herein never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option nor gave me the opportunity to opt-out.

Considering that, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' All accounts listed are adverse items that Experian, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX are reporting again without my permission is not lawful.

15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. Every consumer reporting agency must make sure they arent violating any of these laws. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. Experian, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. 

Also, 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' This is my Notice that I am opting out of your reporting services.
