Consumer complaint received 2018-02-12
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have been attempting to resolve issues with the information included on my credit reports for over 6 months and have not been able to receive satisfactory outcomes. 

When reviewing my TransUnion, XXXX and XXXX  reports this past summer, I noticed several accounts that I did not recognize : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I wrote each reporting agency a certified letter requesting that the accounts be removed from my credit report. A month later I received correspondence from each agency stating the accounts were " verified as mine ''. I then submitted follow-up letters to each agency on XX/XX/XXXX requesting details about the information that was used to verify the that information correct, and received another " verified as accurate '' letter from each agency with no additional context and none of the information I requested. 

I have subsequently sent four ( 4 ) additional follow-up letters ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ) to each agency requesting the method ( s ) of verification, copies of documentation reviewed, copies of signed contracts with my signature, etc., and to date have received the same generic " verified as accurate '' response. 

As my frustration level has increased with the lack of progress being made I began researching my rights in these matters and came across the Fair Credit Reporting Act. One of the sections in that piece of legislation states that these credit reporting agencies are supposed to keep and maintain copies of the legal documents consumer sign with companies/lenders. If that is the case, why would they not share that information when I requested it? The obvious answer is because such documentation does not exist, but then why continue to state that the information is " verified as accurate ''?

Complaint:
To whom this may concern my name is XXXX XXXX I received a copy of my credit report and after reviewing it there is one account reporting on my credit files that I had no Knowledge of. The first account is XXXX I did not authorize them to open this account. I have been in contact with the credit bureaus, i have sent over several certified letters over to your companies. I have record of the phone calls, certified mail sent to your companies and i am sick and tired. I am in XXXX and i am leaning towards taking legal actions against your companies within 72 hours of you receiving this message. If you feel that this is an error on my part please kindly take the time out to show me the process on how you verify an item and what steps you take to prove that a debt is owed. Your company has violated my rights on several occasions and have broken several laws in The FCRA sections 609, 611, 604, and several other laws in the FCRA. My consent was violated in this process because i was not contacted by anyone that i owed a debt or an account being placed on my account. I therefore know that this is a violation of my rights and i will take legal actions towards your companies.
