Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681 section 602 a, explicitly states that consumer reporting agencies must treat their duties with 'fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. ' As the Consumer, it is my right to ensure that my private information is not shared, as supported by 15 USC 6801, which outlines each financial institution 's obligation to protect the privacy and confidentiality of their customers ' nonpublic personal information.

Under 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2, '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. ' I have not given my written consent for XXXX XXXX XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX, to share my information. Any previous consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is revoked. 

Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that 'a financial 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. ' XXXX XXXX XXXX never informed me of my right to opt-out of information sharing. 

Equifax and XXXX 's reporting practices violate multiple sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), which stipulates that no consumer reporting agency may include any adverse information without the consumer 's permission. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A prohibits the sharing of inaccurate information, while 15 U.S. Code 1681e mandates that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures. 

I am exercising my right to opt-out of XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting services, per 12 CFR 1016.7. This reporting agency has not demonstrated reasonable procedures and is failing to uphold the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Therefore, I object to the continued sharing of my personal information.
