Consumer Complaint: I have rights to ensure that my private information is not shared without my consent. The Fair Credit Reporting Act and other laws protect my privacy and require consumer reporting agencies like XXXX and XXXX to exercise fairness, impartiality, and respect for my privacy. These agencies need my written instructions to furnish my information to financial institutions. However, I have not given my consent for them to share my information, and they have not informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Additionally, they are reporting adverse information about my account without your permission, which is against the law. The agencies are also required to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations and limit the furnishing of consumer reports. I have the right to opt out of their reporting at any time.
