However, despite exercising my right to opt-out, XXXXXXXX XXXX  AND XXXX continues violating my right to Privacy under the Privacy Act of 1974, ( 5 USC 552 ( A ) ) by reporting : nonpublic and private financial transactions ; adverse account-XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Consumer Relations Consumer ReportXXXX XXXXXXXX **** Experian Information Solutions Consumer ReportXXXX XXXX and inaccurate information in my consumer report to XXXX Consumer Relations, and Experian Information Solutions violating various laws under 15 USC 1681 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and my written instructions to opt-out. The Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 602 provides There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't 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. XXXXXXXX XXXX AND XXXX is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states 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. XXXXXXXX XXXX AND XXXX and all Consumer reporting agencies ( Experian, 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 XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX 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 unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. XXXXXXXX XXXX AND XXXX has 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.

EXPERIAN, XXXX AND XXXX is not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that a consumer may exercise the right to opt-out at any time therefore I am opting out of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, EXPERIAN, XXXX AND XXXX reporting services.
