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:
For years I have disputed XXXX XXXX XXXX with TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX and have repeatedly asked for PROPER validation of debt from XXXX, as well as, asked XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX to verify information they are reporting is 100 % accurate, which is my consumer right and failing to do so is a direct and blatant violation of my consumer rights. TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX never investigated information they are reporting as 100 % accurate. In fact, each of them are reporting different information. If they all obtain their information from the same place, how is this possible? They refuse to remove inaccurate and unverified information from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to make representations about unsubstantiated debt. I have asked numerous times for XXXX XXXX XXXX to send VALID and SUBSTANTIATED documentation that the debt is valid, and that they are legally licensed to collect in the state of Texas. They never would produce any substantiated documentation. Often times, sending some copy of a credit card statement that I did not recognize, but could not produce anything more. They are still threatening to collect on debt that is past the statue of limitations. They are reporting the account inaccurately and without validation and as such, this has caused harm to my financial well being. They initiated legal action against me when it lacked proper documentation about the debt. XXXX XXXX XXXX did not provide the required disclosures when collecting on debts beyond the statute of limitations. XXXX XXXX XXXX committed numerous violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing Regulation V, which include : Failing to inform me about investigation outcomes : On numerous occasions when XXXX XXXX XXXX determined that my dispute was frivolous or irrelevant, it failed to timely inform me about what information would be necessary for XXXX XXXX XXXX to investigate the dispute.
