Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Report Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ) States There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. As a consumer XXXX, XXXX and XXXX consumer reporting agencies will report my information. I have the right to make sure my private information isnt 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. Bridgecrest is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) section 2 states that In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Bridgecrest the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX Bridgecrest whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unlessthe consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. Bridgecrest never 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. Any other adverse item 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 with out my permission which is against the law. 15 U.S 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) 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. 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( e ) states Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681 ( c ) of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681 of this title. XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. I am opting out of your reporting services.
