Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I am writing to formally dispute and seek correction of an entry on my credit report concerning an account that has been included in bankruptcy, marked as a charge-off, and listed as a public record. The information on this account is incorrect, and its presence on my credit report is unjustly affecting my financial standing. 

The account in question was included in a bankruptcy proceeding, and it should reflect this status accurately on my credit report. However, it is inaccurately listed as an open and active account, which does not align with the bankruptcy 's disposition. This incorrect information is causing considerable damage to my credit score and financial credibility.

The account is also marked as a charge-off, despite being discharged through bankruptcy. This charge-off status is misleading and falsely represents my financial history, as the debt was legally discharged and should no longer be reported as outstanding or delinquent. 

Additionally, this account is listed as a public record, which is not accurate. The public record entry is creating further harm to my creditworthiness, as there is no legitimate basis for such a listing. 

I kindly request your immediate attention to investigate and rectify these inaccuracies on my credit report. I expect a thorough review of the information I have provided and prompt correction of these errors. I also request written updates on the progress of this dispute and the results of your investigation. 

I understand the importance of maintaining accurate credit reports and am committed to restoring my financial integrity. It is essential that this account is reported correctly to reflect its inclusion in bankruptcy and the discharge of associated debts. I am asking for your assistance to correct or remove the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Kindly furnish me with substantiating documentation confirming the validity of the account in question on my credit report, while ensuring that my rights have not been infringed.
