Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

Beginning XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, TRANSUNION has reported unverified, via proof of claim..ie. a judgement/order or contract, inaccurate and false/misleading statements on my credit file/ credit report. TRANSUNION has not verified any of the information pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practice,15 USC 1692g 809 '' the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector ; and '' ( b ) Disputed debts until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. 
ADDITIONALLY PURSUANT TO TRANSUNION 'S OWN ***important notice***, Credit Reports for collection of delinquent child support, judgments, fines and liens may no longer be permitted. These cases note that certain definitions were added to the FCRA as part of the 2003 amendments ( FACT Act ). In particular, the word credit was defined. As a result of the new definition the position that is being advocated is that a collection of an account is a permissible purpose to obtain a consumer report only when the collection is in connection with a credit transaction. 
The courts have specifically rejected prior case law and FTC guidance that a judgment creditor had permissible purpose, noting that those decisions pre-dated the FACT Act. These cases have held that a delinquent child support obligation, municipal fines arising from parking tickets, and a statutory debt resulting from the towing and impound of an illegally parked vehicle did not arise from a credit transaction. As a result, the courts found that collection of those accounts was not a valid permissible purpose to obtain a consumer report.If you use TransUnion consumer report services in connection with the collection of an account, we advise you to promptly review the new case law with your regular attorney or compliance advisor. 
TransUnion will be contacting each customer that is a third-party collector to discuss this issue. We expect to confirm with you that you are in compliance with this new interpretation. Until then, unless you advise otherwise, we are relying upon you to comply with your contract with TransUnion and this new interpretation of the law. This means that you may obtain TransUnion reports for collection purposes only when collecting on an obligation arising from a credit transaction, or where you have the written authorization of the consumer or a court order to obtain a consumer report. 
As an example, for collectors of delinquent child support debt, judgments, fines, or liens, you must have in hand : A court order authorizing a consumer reporting agency to provide a consumer report, A written authorization from the debtor to obtain a consumer report, or Some type of contractual agreement with the consumer that rises to the level of a credit transaction under law. 
THEREFORE, it is apparent that TRANSUNION does not only break federal law, but also violates it's own policies and procedures. Creating and operating in a predatory scheme to willfully defraud taxpayers of their dollars and not being held accountable. 
A alleged " child support '' obligation is NOT a credit transaction additionally there is no written authorization from the consumer nor a court order to obtain a consumer report nor any type of contractual agreement with the consumer that rises to the level of a credit transaction under law. 
ADDITIONALLY TRANSUNION HAS A KNOWN PATTERN PURSUANT TO FINDINGS OF THE CFPB AND FTC " the CFPB and the FTC allege that the company : Failed to take steps to produce accurate reports : The company violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by failing in numerous instances to take steps to assure the maximum possible accuracy of eviction records in its rental background check reports. 

Failed to identify who provided inaccurate information : When the company obtained criminal and eviction records from third-party vendors, it failed to identify the third-party vendors in its disclosures to consumers. Instead, the company told people that criminal and eviction records were taken only from the jurisdictions where the proceedings took place. People trying to find a place to live did not know it was a third-party vendor that they needed to contact to correct inaccurate information. 

Clean up its business practices : The company must identify and solve technology problems before they cause harm to consumers.
