Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified multiple errors that have adversely affected my credit score. These errors are not a true reflection of my credit history, and I believe they may have resulted from clerical mistakes, identity theft, or outdated information. I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it requires and make the necessary corrections.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MD)

As of XX/XX/year>, all XXXX major credit bureausEquifax, XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX made it impossible for me to add a personal statement to my credit report despite my repeated efforts to contact each one of them over the past two weeks. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and to add a personal statement explaining their side of the story if a dispute is unresolved. The persistent failure of these credit bureaus to facilitate this process violates my rights under the FCRA and has left me without a means to ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my circumstances. This stonewalling not only hinders my ability to clarify my credit history but also raises serious concerns about their compliance with federal laws designed to protect consumers. 

Moreover, XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion have closed out all of my disputes filed directly with each of them without providing me any results or explanations for their decisions. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), which mandates that credit bureaus must investigate disputes and provide the results to the consumer. By failing to inform me of the outcomes, these bureaus have disregarded their legal obligations and left me in the dark about the status of my disputes. This lack of transparency is particularly troubling given the serious nature of the inaccuracies on my report, which include incorrect information fraudulently provided by XXXXXXXX XXXX The continued presence of these errors on my credit report has unjustly affected my credit standing, undermining the purpose of the FCBA and FCRA. 

In addition to their failure to provide dispute results, XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion have perpetuated the misinformation supplied by XXXXXXXX XXXX despite clear evidence that refutes the bank 's claims. The FCRA requires credit bureaus to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. However, by maintaining false information on my credit report, they have further violated my rights under the FCRA. This persistent inaccuracy has not only caused undue harm and inconvenience but also highlights the systemic issues within these credit bureaus regarding their handling of consumer disputes and adherence to federal regulations. The combined failures of these institutions to investigate, resolve disputes within the legally required timeline, and provide necessary information underline the urgent need for immediate corrective action to rectify my credit report and prevent further legal ramifications.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I have tried many times to get this violation of my right to an accurate credit file corrected. As seen in the attachment Capital One continues to report two charge offs as open on my credit report. These charge offs happened years ago yet show as if they happened last month. XXXX as well as XXXX continue to support this violation of my rights. I held these accounts for years in good standing until I was forced to retire. Even then I paid on time for XXXX more years until my saving ran out and I could no longer pay. The irony is my credit has recovered somewhat because I pay on time. I could have used Capital One again but cant and wont because of the vindictive nature of the company.
