Complaint narrative:
I contacted XXXX to let them know they were violating the fair credit reporting act XX/XX/2023. They have not fixed it. XXXX and XXXX continued to give me a hard time. Here is the issue As a federally protected consumer I have the right to privacy. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 states ' There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. ' XXXX, XXXX, XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the consumer. I have the right to make sure that my private information isn't shared which is backed by 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. ' 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subjection ( 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. '' The financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX, XXXX and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they absolutely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to XXXX, XXXX, XXXX snd any furnisher of information to credit agencies whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is REVOKED. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A finacial institution may NOT disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' None of these credit agencies ever informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only 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 other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law. 15 U.S. Code Section 1681 s-2 ( 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. The code also 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. '' XXXX, XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR S 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services. ''
