Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: LA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX failed to properly investigate an inquiry about whether or not a debt is valid. I have supporting documentation that shows my account number with XXXX XXXX XXXX is in fact not reporting correctly. I have enclosed my first and last account statements from XXXX XXXX XXXX that show a different account number than what is being reported to my credit reports from Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX. The proper account number according to my monthly statements from XXXX begins with a XXXX  instead of a XXXX. I attempted to get XXXX to verify this debt, however they replied to you all on XX/XX/XXXX, saying that they will not be verifying any debt ( I have also enclosed this letter that is reflecting the wrong account number beginning with a XXXX  ) I have also enclosed my complete credit reports from XX/XX/XXXX, along with screen shots of the entry from XXXX XXXX XXXX, which reflect my account number beginning with a XXXX. According to the FCRA Section 611 the reporting agencies were supposed to hold a reasonable investigation of my report, and they clearly did even verify the accuracy of the debt because all 3 credit bureaus are reporting the wrong account number. It is their responsibility to completely delete XXXX XXXX XXXX off of my credit report because the account is not and never was reporting accurately. It is my right to have information reported accurately and in a timely manner. This brings me to my second issue. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made an agreement to pay off the debt with the 3rd party debt collector for XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX XXXX XXXX, and payment was made. I have attached the settlement letter ( which includes an account number beginning in XXXX ), along with my bank statement reflecting the {$2600.00} coming out of my bank account. According to my updated XXXX  credit report from XX/XX/XXXX, my credit report does not reflect the account is settled. It only reflects the payment in the amount of {$2600.00}. My credit report is currently showing a balance owed of {$6200.00}. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX XXXX to confirm that the debt was in fact completely settled, and they did confirm this fact to me. It is my right as a consumer in the United States of America to have information reported correctly on my credit report, and the fact that it is not, is severely effecting my ability to obtain credit. At the very least, the balances should be {$0.00}. According to the law, my report should be accurate, or be deleted. The correct account number on my credit report is not even being reported correctly. This is gross negligence by Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX, who have claimed the " verify the debt '', I demand that this be corrected immediately. The XXXX XXXX XXXX entry on my credit report should be deleted from all 3 of my credit reports with haste.
