Consumer Complaint: According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ) ) it is stated that there is a need to ensure that credit reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibility with fairness, impartiality and respect for the consumers rights to privacy. XXXX, Equifax and XXXX have violated my rights to privacy according to the Privacy Act of 1974. My personal non-public information has been shared with third-party non-affiliates. They have also violated the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 by reporting my personal non-public information in regards to my student loans records.section 20 USC 1232g ( b ) As a consumer I have the right to make sure that there isnt any defamation of character on my behalf, and I also have the right to ensure my private information isnt shared, which is backed by 15 USC 6801, stating that it is policy of 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. XXXX, Equifax and XXXX are credit reporting agencies. Obligated by the FCRA to report accurate accounting under 15 USC 1681 as well as according to the 1974 Privacy Act. I am promised accuracy in my reports based on federal laws, I am making this attempt to have these errors and inquiries removed under 15 USC 1681.15 US code subsection 1681B was also violated, along with 15 US code subsection 1681e by not following reasonable procedures to assure maximum accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. XXXX, Equifax and XXXX also violated 15 U.S Code 1681 ( n ) by willfully failing to comply with any requirement and pose under this subchapter with respect to any requirement imposed under this subsection with respect to any consumer. ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under Title 15 USC 1681 section 604, section 2, which 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. XXXX, Equifax and XXXX never received my written consent to furnish this information, nor my written consent. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a non-affiliate third-party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option.

The law also states that it is illegal to report transaction history. 15 US code 1681e states every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violation of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purpose listed under section 1681b of this title.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, other than records of conviction of crimes, which antedates the report by more than seven years this account is in adverse item.
