According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602, it states : There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Transunion, XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies, and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information is not 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. ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604, section 2 states that : In general, Subject to subsection ( 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.
