State: IL
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: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion, one of the major credit reporting agencies, for their failure to process my dispute within the stipulated 30-day timeframe, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I find this situation deeply concerning and hope that your intervention will help rectify this matter promptly. 

On XX/XX/2023 and on XX/XX/2023, I submitted a dispute to TransUnion 's, reference attached letters, regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. The discrepancy pertains to names that are not mine, addresses that are not mine, an incorrect accounts, incorrect late payment and one account that I didnt open. 
Understanding the importance of maintaining accurate credit information, I promptly initiated the dispute process to rectify this situation. 

Despite the statutory requirement that credit reporting agencies investigate and resolve disputes within 30 days, I am dismayed to report that TransUnion has not taken any action on my dispute within this timeframe. As of today 's date, it has been more than 60 days since I filed my dispute, and I have yet to receive any communication or updates from TransUnion regarding the resolution of this matter. 

I want to emphasize that the accuracy of my credit report is essential for my financial well-being and my ability to access credit on fair terms. TransUnion 's failure to address my dispute in a timely manner has caused unnecessary stress and frustration, and I am concerned that this delay could have lasting negative implications for my creditworthiness. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intervene on my behalf to ensure that TransUnion promptly processes my dispute and provides me with a written response detailing the investigation 's outcome. I also urge you to take appropriate actions to ensure that TransUnion complies with the FCRA 's requirements moving forward, as this situation highlights a disregard for the rights of consumers like myself. 

Enclosed with this letter, please find copies of relevant documentation, including proof of my dispute submission and any supporting evidence regarding the inaccuracies in my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will work diligently to address my complaint and hold TransUnion accountable for their failure to adhere to the FCRA guidelines. I look forward to a swift resolution and appreciate your assistance in rectifying this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored by my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), It is plainly stated that a failure to investigate those items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts de deleted immediately or I will file for ligation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Firstly, I want to stress the vital importance of adhering to FCRA Section 602 ( 15 USC 1681 section 602a ), which underscores the duty of consumer reporting agencies to maintain fairness, impartiality, and an unwavering commitment to safeguarding consumer privacy. Additionally, I firmly assert my rights guaranteed under 15 USC 6801, which ensure that my personal information is protected by financial institutions acting as suppliers of data to credit agencies. I have expressed directly to these companies that I would not like my non-public information shared.

My primary concern revolves around the sharing of my information without explicit written consent. FCRA Section 604a ( 2 ) explicitly dictates that consumer reporting agencies are only authorized to provide reports upon receiving written instructions from the consumer. I do not believe I have given any consent to share my personal information and I hereby retract any implicit or verbal consent previously extended to entities like Equifax, XXXX, XXXX or other information furnishers to credit agencies. 

The reporting of adverse items without proper authorization is deeply troubling. According to 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), it's explicitly prohibited to report adverse information without explicit permission. It seems this regulation might have been violated, necessitating immediate attention and corrective action. Evidence of multiple items that are marked derogatory.

Moreover, the breaches of reporting laws outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681e cast significant doubts on reporting agencies ability to uphold reasonable procedures. These infractions severely undermine the trust and confidence that should be placed in the accuracy and integrity of reported information.

Lastly, I formally exercise my right to opt out of your reporting services here with CFPB as witness, as provided by 12 CFR 1016.7. It's imperative that my opt-out request is promptly acknowledged and actioned upon with the immediate removal and deletion of all stored data involving XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
