Complaint:
To whom it may concern : TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives me the opportunity to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate. This law requires that all data included in a consumer 's file be documented and validated before it can go live for use by creditors, so I take this seriously! The allegations of delinquency and derogatoriness against me are false, and I will fight back with all my strength! Your report 's accuracy is crucial. The allegations you list don't meet federal or state requirements for reporting, so they can't be confirmed. I challenge this claim because it lacks compliance with basic reporting standards that would make me feel more confident in what's being said. You're required to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance.You must not report any claims that you know should be in compliance with regulations. We need to make sure all of your claims are accurate and reported in the correct format, which is required by law ( FCRA ) and reporting standards like METRO 2. So please take care with this! However, I request evidence that shows why my accounts are considered to be in a negative state. The proof of a permissible purpose for the inquiry or account within my report must be included. This letter serves as notice that you're not doing your job properly. If this issue isn't resolved immediately, there could be serious consequences, so I'm giving you 30 days from now ( the date of delivery ) to hopefully get everything sorted out and correct itself with no need for intervention or escalation! I would also like to receive physical proof of your actions and my updated credit report. The listed claims appear to be inaccurate. Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim, as the allegations are not true or I'll delete them immediately if that is indeed the case! 
Below is a summary of the data in which I am challenging : Summary of Inquiries being challenged in list form XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) - ( XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX Inquiries XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX TransUnion I received a credit report from you and there are some companies that I'm unfamiliar with. Looks like they put an inquiry on my file without me knowing, but this shouldn't be possible unless it's something approved by me first! U.S. Code 15 USC 1681 ES Seg Section 604 states all users must have a permitted purpose under the Fair Reporting Act to obtain consumer reports. Please remove these inquiries or forward documentation proving they should be on my report. 
Regards, The document I have sent you includes my concerns about the accuracy and truthfulness of your reporting. The law requires that you follow certain procedures to ensure this, but according to what's required by both FCRA as well Metro 2 -- it needs certified compliant. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Please send your written response to my address of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CA XXXX I am writing to inform you that I am aware of your illegal practices of sending form letters in response to disputes and challenges from consumers, regardless of the specific information that they have provided. This is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i, which requires that each dispute and challenge must be addressed individually and on its own merits.My letters were created using software that is available to everyone. If you don't process my letters, you are violating my rights as a consumer. I will consider this to be an intentional disregard of my rights, and I will contact my lawyer to take legal action.
