Complaint:
To whom it may concern : TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX I have the right to dispute any inaccurate information on my credit report, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The data included in my credit report must be documented and validated before it is used 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. 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 are not doing your job properly. It is imperative for this issue to be resolved immediately or else there could potentially be serious consequences, so I'm giving 30 days from now ( the date of delivery ) in which time hopefully everything can become clear and correct itself with no need for intervention or escalation! 
Below is a summary of the data in which I am challenging : Summary of Inquiries being challenged in list form XXXX ( XXXX ) - ( XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX Inquiries XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX TransUnion I just received my credit report and was shocked to find this inquiry on it. As you know, this is not something that should have been reported! The Fair Credit Reporting Act states no one may access your information without permission from YOU first so please provide me with proof of what reason they had giving them the right to do so by furnishing documentation containing signatures showing I indeed applied for a loan or line-of business venture through their company as well as any other relevant details. Im sure you will realize these inquiries shouldnt be on my credit after all! 
Regards, I have listed the concerns I have about your reporting in this document. It is not complete and does not meet my standards. According to the law, you and the data furnishers must certify all aspects of the required FCRA and Metro 2 compliance. This must be done in a truthful, correct, complete, and timely manner as to not violate my consumer and civil rights. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Please send your written response to my address of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CA XXXX I am aware that you have been sending out form letters in response to many of the disputes and challenges that consumers have submitted, regardless of the specific information that they have provided. This is illegal, as each dispute and challenge must be addressed individually and on its own merits.Keep in mind, you are not allowed to delay processing letters from consumers based on the assumption that help from a third party may be available. This is not a legal exception.If you do not process my letters in a timely manner, I will consider it to be an intentional disregard of my rights as a consumer. I will then contact my lawyer to take legal action.
