Complaint narrative:
As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 USC 1681, section 602 ( a ), it emphasizes the importance of ensuring that consumer reporting agencies fulfill their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumers ' rights to privacy. Notable agencies in this context include XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion, with the individual asserting their rights as a consumer. The right to safeguard private information is supported by 15 USC 6801, which declares the Congress 's policy that financial institutions have an ongoing duty to uphold customer privacy and protect the confidentiality of nonpublic personal information. 

Under the FCRA, entities providing information to credit agencies, referred to as " Furnishers of information to credit agencies, '' are considered financial institutions. According to 15 USC 1681, section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are permitted to furnish a consumer report only in compliance with the written instructions of the respective consumer. The individual asserts that neither the financial institution nor the consumer reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) have received their consent to furnish this information, be it verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, and revokes any and all consent. 

Referring to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( e ), the individual highlights that a financial institution can not disclose nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties without informing the consumer of their right to exercise a nondisclosure option. The Furnisher of information to credit agencies failed to provide such information. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including certain adverse information in a consumer report without proper authorization, and the individual claims that the reported account is adverse and has been reported without their permission, violating the law. 

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), it is stated that a person must not furnish inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency. Section 1681e mandates consumer reporting agencies to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations of FCRA sections 1681c and 1681b. The individual argues that XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion are not adhering to these reasonable procedures. 

Furthermore, 12 CFR 1016.7 allows a consumer to opt out of reporting services at any time. The individual concludes by exercising their right to opt out of the reporting services provided by the mentioned agencies.
