Complaint narrative:
I reached out to the company because I saw that multiple credit reporting agencies fraudulently obtained my information and fraudulently accessed my consumer reports and made entries to my reports. I also reached out to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, because pursuant 16 CFR 313, the Bureau must enforce Federal Law. I OPTED OUT, pursuant to 15 USC 6802, 12 CFR 1016.1, also making them aware of the violations committed against me were in violation of the Gramm Leach Bliley Act. The purpose of 12 CFR 1016.1, as disclosed by the congress, governs the treatment of nonpublic personal information about consumers by the financial institutions, that they listed. 

I also informed all consumer reporting agencies of them violating my privacy, pursuant to The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 USC 552a. Part b of 5 USC 552, states the conditions of disclosure, " No agency shall disclose any record which is contained in a system of records by any means of communication to any person, or to another agency, except pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to whom the record pertains.

In accordance with the FCRA, 15 USC 1681 section 602, there is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX are consumer reporting agencies, and I am the consumer, to whom these consumer reports relate to. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX are all financial institutions as defined in 15 USC 1681 section 604. None of these companies had my permission to disclose my personal nonpublic information, verbal nor written consent was supplied by me to these companies. Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and the companies listed above, verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked, pursuant to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ). 

XXXX, Equifax, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, are also in violation of 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), which states 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. 

Also, these same credit reporting agencies are reporting XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, child support accounts on my consumer report. These accounts were supposed to be investigated prior to it being placed in my consumer file. I can truthfully say and guarantee that this account was not verified, pursuant to 15 USC 1681s1-2. The furnishers of these accounts opened this account in my name fraudulently, and information received from a third party is hearsay, not allowed by law. The county clerk stated that this information was never verified by anyone at the courthouse. In previous filings, Equifax, XXXX and XXXX, all stated that they verified this information, which clearly is not true and proof of their deceit. 

The admissions of the Department of EducationXXXX and XXXX XXXX in my consumer file are violations of Federal Law, pursuant to 20 USC 1232g ( b ). The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act is a federal law enacted to protect the privacy of student education records. FERPA protects public and private school records.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
