In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 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. TransUnion is a consumer reporting agency and I am the Consumer. I have a right to make sure my private information isnt shared which is back by 15 USC 6801 which states : It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has 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 604 ( 2 ) states that In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agency TransUnion does not have my written consent.

( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) states : Except as authorized under ( 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 then seven years.
