Consumer complaint received 2024-10-31
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (WI)

Im writting a complaint to CFPB to investigate this matter with XXXX, a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX furnishing inaccarte information. Violations of the FCRA and XXXX XXXX standreds requriements. 

Reference NO : XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX regarding the inaccurate reporting of, [ e.g. XXXX  XXXX Bankruptcy filing ] on the credit report. 

Regarding information that is inaccurate and violates the rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, under USC 1681i 611 ( p ) ( 1 ), I assert that the reporting agencies are unable to verify or modify any public record information that has been reported without following the prescribed procedures outlined in the FCRA. 

The reporting agency can not modify public record information. under USC 1681i 611 p 1, the agency is unable to change any public record information that has been reported.

Information Verification : I question the accuracy and completeness of the information reported in the credit report, particularly regarding [ e.g. XXXX  XXXX Bankruptcy ]. I would like to understand the exact sources and methods used to verify this information. 


I am concerned that the agencies may have relied solely on the last four digits of my Social Security number, and from public record which is insufficient for accurate identification and verification.

Furnishing Public Record Information : I contend that the agencies are not properly furnishing public record information in accordance with the FCRA. Their actions violate my rights under FCRA Section 1681b which outlines the duties of furnishers of information upon notice of a dispute ( 611 ( a ) ( 2 ) ). This section requires furnishers to investigate disputed information and report the results to all consumer reporting agencies to which they furnished the information ( 611 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( D ) ). 

Since you can not modify public record information directly, the agencies have failed to fulfill their obligations as consumer reporting agencies by not properly investigating the dispute and reporting the results to the furnisher of the information ( likely the bankruptcy court ). 

Court Records : I dispute the claim that your agency obtained this information directly from the court. I contacted the court, and their response is enclosed. It is clear they do not report to you or any Credit Bureau for that matter ; therefore, your initial response verifying the item with the court was either an error or a lie. Either way, the reporting requirements do not comply with FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681I ), and the information must be deleted immediately. To my understanding this agency has accessed public records through a third-party service like PACER.

I am requesting all information pursuant to Rule 1002 of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 611 ) ( p ) ( 1 ) 15 USC 1666a, and that the agencies provide me with a detailed report outlining the specific information provided by the court and the steps taken to verify its accuracy. 



I have provided TransUnion, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with Documents sent directly from the Bankruptcy Court and from Pacers to substantiate my claim, I contacted the Bankruptcy Court and PACER by mail and they both sent letter with reply, that they do not report to consumer agencies. However, despite providing this information, TransUnion, XXXX, XXXX failed to investigate the dispute or modify the inaccurate information. 

Request : I request that the reporting agencies immediately investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to correct the inaccurate information in the credit report. I also request that the agencies provide me with written confirmation of the resolution of this dispute. 

If the reporting agencies fail to address this matter promptly and accurately, I will be forced to take further legal action. 



Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
