Complaint:
I believe I have been targeted by identity theft and XXXX and Transunion both are being deliberately uncooperative. Thankfully XXXX still follows standard procedures. I have reported numerous inquiries as fraudulent to XXXX, and also a medical issue showing a collections on my report. I have called the medical company and there is a XXXX balance. I owe no money to this institution. I believe years ago there was something I disputed with this institution because they had tried to send me a bill they couldn't even make clear to me what it was for. It made no sense to me and I had believed it was some kind of error on their end. I never received the bill until the collections agent got in touch with me. It was only {$50.00} so I paid the collections because I was receiving harsh threats from them and the amount had to be paid " or else they would put it on my credit report ''. It seems they decided to do it anyway after payment. XXXX responded to my first letter, ignoring completely this vague medical issue that doesn't even have a balance, and refused to investigate the inquiries. They responded the day they received my letter a month ago, " stating all on my report was factual. '' My 2nd letter was responded to more slowly and they replied that " there are no files on my report with the credentials I provided ''. They address their response to " XXXX XXXX '' instead of " XXXX '' as they had done the first time. I provided proof of my identity and again explained the issue with the fraudulent inquiries. This letter and the rest have been completely ignored. When I call them they say " we do not investigate inquiries. It is not our responsibility. You have to file a police report for such things. '' Naturally, I attempted to file a police report and the police confirmed it is their responsibility to handle such issues. I know for a fact my inquiries were not investigated as there are inquiries on my report from companies that no longer exist ( XXXX XXXX for example ). Had they done their investigation they would have discovered that the creditors can not provide proof of any document that I authorized a credit pull. 
Transunion has simply ignored all letters that I have sent to them over the past 5 weeks or so and they have no intention of doing so. They also claim it is not their responsibility to investigate identity theft or fraudulent inquiries, and that I have to deal with it through the police. Both of these companies have had ample time to respond and refuse to answer, and by law, are required to remove these harmful and inaccurate records from my report. I am being personally harmed by this as I need to apply for a loan and I can't, because of these excessive inquiries. I will soon be forced to take legal action if they continue to violate my rights under the fair reporting act. Please assist
