Complaint narrative:
**Consumer Financial Protection Bureau** XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX **Subject : Opting Out of Credit Reporting and Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Privacy Act of 1974** **Account : XXXX XXXX To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally opt out of any credit reporting on my consumer credit reports and to address violations of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681, and the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 USC 552a ).

As a federally protected consumer, I assert my right to privacy as outlined in the FCRA, 15 USC 1681a, and invoke my right to opt out of any reporting on my credit reports. Reporting my transaction history without my explicit consent is illegal and violates my rights under the FCRA.

According to 15 USC 1681b, I have never given written authorization to report personal information on my credit reports. Furthermore, P.L. 90-321 ( 82 Stat. 146 ) specifies that any agency can only access my report in response to a request by the head of a state or local child support enforcement agency.

In addition, 15 USC 1681c states that no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing adverse items of information other than records of convictions of crimes older than seven years. Any derogatory mark on my report is a violation of this section.

According to 15 USC 1681n, civil liability for willful noncompliance allows for damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} per violation. I can prove willful violations and am entitled to compensation.

The Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 USC 552a ), subsection ( b ), states that no agency shall disclose any record without prior written consent. I have never authorized such disclosures.

Per 12 CFR 1016.1 ( Regulation P ), I have the right to opt out of disclosures to nonaffiliated third parties. Companies must provide a privacy notice and comply with opt-out requests promptly, as per 12 CFR 1016.4 and 1016.7. I have not been given the opportunity to opt out of any reporting. Additionally, 15 USC 6802 requires opt-out notices for any information added to my consumer reports.

Given these violations, I request the removal and deletion of the XXXX XXXX account reporting on my credit reports. This is an opt-out notice and removal request, not a validation or verification of debt. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
