Complaint narrative:
Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) explicitly prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including certain adverse information in a consumer report without authorization. The adverse item being reported without my permission is a violation of this provision.

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A, a person should not furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe it is inaccurate. XXXX and XXXX are thus violating this provision by reporting inaccurate information without proper consent. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681e mandates that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations of relevant sections and limit the furnishing of consumer reports to specified purposes. XXXX, XXXX and Transunion are failing to uphold these reasonable procedures. 

Lastly, as per 12 CFR 1016.7, I have the right to opt out of reporting services at any time, and I am choosing to exercise that right.
