To resolve this issue, I request the following : 1. **Immediate Review** : Review the circumstances of this unauthorized reporting and provide a detailed explanation.

2. **Correction of Records** : Remove any unauthorized reports from my credit file immediately.

3. **Documentation** : Provide written confirmation of the corrective actions taken and assurances that my personal information will be protected according to legal requirements.

Transunion has been using stall tactics claiming to cant verify my identity when I have transunion credit app. Which required identify verification. They cant verify my identity and they cant verify the debts yet they are continuing to report. If agency cant verify identity they should not be reporting anything under said name or social security number. This agency is violating my rights under federal law attached is the letter sent to XXXX XXXX  and to the credit bureau which resulted in deleted account from XXXX
