Complaint:
I have been requesting verification of the following account that TransUnion continue to report on my credit file : Bankruptcy XXXX. TransUnion sent their first response on XX/XX/2019 as verified without additional information about how they verified it. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent the attached method of verification letter. I received another response on XX/XX/2019 ( attached ) with once again just a note stating verified. On XX/XX/XXXX I once again sent letter ( attached ) requesting for this Bankruptcy to be deleted as unverified ; I included the letter form the Bankruptcy court stating that they do not provide any information about bankruptcies to the Credit Reporting Agencies as well as a document from XXXX XXXX confirming that my file had a security freeze. The response from TransUnion was sent on XX/XX/2019 ( attached ) with a response as verified. On XX/XX/2019 I sent a XXXX letter ( attached ), with a response from the Credit Reporting Agency on XX/XX/2019 ( attached ) as verified. On XX/XX/XXXX I reached out to the Special Handling Department, and was informed by one of the supervisors to check their website, public records section XXXX XXXX XXXX as I asked over the phone how they verify this entry. Within TranUnion website it reads that they verify public records via the Data Furnisher called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA, XXXX. I informed this representative that I had a report from said company and the Bankruptcy was not listed so he advised me to send a new dispute with those documents. On XX/XX/XXXX I once again sent a letter ( attached ) including a letter from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the XXXX District of New York stating that the court does not provide any public record information to the credit reporting agencies as well as a copy of the XXXX section of the XXXX XXXX report that does not contain a Bankruptcy and the resolution from XXXX XXXX stating why they were deleting this Bankruptcy. I spoke with a representative from TransUnion on Monday, XX/XX/2019 who stated that the information was going to remain on the report, and that they sent a response via mail on XX/XX/XXXX with notes stating " verified '' once again. 

I have to add that on XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX XXXX telephone number XXXX and spoke with an agent and he informed me that I had security freeze was in placed on my account since XX/XX/2019. I also asked if TransUnion requested a copy of my report with them, and he informed me that TransUnion made NO attempt to contact the company requesting copy of my file. Furthermore, Along with XXXX XXXX letter stating that they do not have a Bankruptcy on my credit file, I received a copy of the file with a list of all the companies/creditors that have requested copy of my file with them and TransUnion was not listed among them. 
This representative also stated that XXXX XXXX DID NOT verify the verification that TransUnion shows as reported. I demand that this public record Bankruptcy XXXX be removed due to lack of verification and inaccurate reporting. I have repeatedly requested tangible documentation via hard copies and TransUnion has yet to verify it. All they send is a copy of their report saying verified I demand that this unverified account Bankruptcy XXXX is PERMANENTLY DELETED FROM MY CREDIT FILE.
