Complaint narrative:
Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ) ), it is imperative to ensure that consumer reporting agencies conduct their duties with fairness, impartiality, and a profound regard for the consumer 's privacy rights. XXXX and XXXX, recognized as consumer reporting agencies, hold sensitive consumer information, and I, as the consumer, assert my right to safeguard this information, as underscored by 15 USC 6801. This statute emphasizes Congress 's intent for financial institutions, including furnishers of information to credit agencies, to uphold a commitment to customer privacy and confidentiality.

Pertinently, 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) stipulates that consumer reporting agencies may only furnish consumer reports under specific circumstances, explicitly when directed by the consumer in writing. I have neither provided nor consented to the furnishing of my information to XXXX, XXXX, or any financial institution. Consequently, any form of consent, whether expressed verbally, non-verbally, or implied, is hereby revoked. 

Further reinforcing my position, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) mandates that financial institutions must inform consumers of their right to exercise nondisclosure options. This obligation has not been fulfilled by the furnisher of information to credit agencies. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) strictly prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in reports without authorization. The presence of such information on my account violates this provision, as well as 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( a ) ( 1 ), which prohibits furnishing inaccurate consumer information.

Moreover, in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681e, consumer reporting agencies must establish reasonable procedures to prevent violations of consumer reporting laws. XXXX and XXXX have failed to fulfill this obligation. Additionally, as outlined in 12 CFR 1016.7, consumers retain the right to opt out of reporting services at any time. Therefore, I hereby exercise my right to opt out of : Transunion XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX 's reporting services.
