XXXX XXXX XXXX is in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974 as well as 12 CFR 1022.24 Reasonable opportunity to opt out because I was never notified by XXXX XXXX XXXX that my nonpublic personal information was going to be shared to non affiliated third parties such as EXPERIAN, XXXX AND XXXX and I was NEVER GIVEN THE CHANCE TO OPT OUT.

I did NOT give consent nor written instruction to Experian, XXXX and XXXX to report the XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts and supporting nonpublic personal information such as the transaction history and balance. The credit reporting agencies are also in violation of 15 usc 1681 sec 604a section 2, because it states that a Consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account w/o my written instruction. I did NOT give consent nor written instruction to EXPERIAN, XXXX and XXXX to report my nonpublic personal information.
