I have previously sent disputes requesting verification and debt validation for the item ( s ) listed below. Additionally, I have requested specific method of verification ( MOV ). TransUnion is not fulfilling the obligation under FCRA 609 ( c ) ( 2 ). Validation using e-OSCAR or PACER is improper validation and a violation of FCRA. The absence of method of verification and validating debt ownership via third party fails to meet the Consumer Finance Protection Bureaus ' guidelines for what constitutes proper debt validation. Additionally under FCRA 623, I am requesting investigation as to the accuracy of the records on this debt.

The FCRA requires the CRA to assure maximum possible accuracy with your credit file. [ 15 U.S.C. 16 81 e ] ( b ) " Accuracy of report. Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates ''. How is it possible that maximum accuracy is assured when the collection agency is verifying erroneous information to the CRA through an ACDV, and hasn't provided you with proper validation of the debt?

Under 623 ( b ) ( l ), FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT/REGULATION V when a furnisher receives notice from a CRA that a consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of information the furnisher provided to the CRA, it must investigate the disputed information, review all relevant information provided by the CRA, and report the results of its investigation to the CRA.

Please provide information to the following questions When was the dispute started internally at TransUnion?

When was the dispute sent to the original information furnisher?

When did TransUnion receive a response from the original information furnisher?

What information was sent to the original information furnisher and what detailed information was received from the original information furnisher in response to the dispute? The furnisher is required to investigate their records and ensure that they are accurate as well as TransUnion is required to have an INDEPENDENT role and actively investigate a dispute and compare evidence. The case law XXXX XXXX Trans Union XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the judge ruled that TransUnion violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by failing to compare evidence.

Texas repossession laws state the vehicle can not be sold within 10 days, the car was taken on XX/XX/XXXX in the middle of the night on a XXXX  weekend when calls couldn't be made to make a payment and when account was removed from the app, taken from repo lot on XX/XX/XXXX, sold on XX/XX/XXXX all without a notice of intent provided. I was told it was sent on through certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX, Today is XX/XX/XXXX and I still have not received anything. The Deficiency and surplus letter were not provided to be after the sale, and I was told on XX/XX/XXXX it was mailed out through certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX. Again, I have not received either of the two and I called and stated that on a recorded line. They would have confirmation that I received it through tracking, or it gets returned to sender according to the post office. The vehicle sold for XXXX and that amount was applied on XXXX, leaving a remainder of XXXX. Why was I asked to pay XXXX in full by the XXXX XXXX XXXX auction lot to receive my car. XXXX XXXX XXXX, silver, last XXXX of Vin # XXXX. I was only offered XXXX solution by the charge off department, and that was to do a sales hold of XXXX, XXXX dollars, a max of two times. That was only offered after it was at the auction and that just prolongs the hold. I believe there was never an attempt to collect past due, they cut corners to get the car back. I have documentation from the credit bureaus stating the max past due reported was 90 days. If they do not report correctly, how I am to trust this? The XXXX XXXX company doesn't state this, and I spoke with XXXX XXXX, Agency Compliance specialist at XXXX on a recorded line on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX am, she stated the account was charged off at XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX due to being XXXX  days past due, then I was told Text and emails are a courtesy, and a phone call is the most accurate way to communicate. The app is where customers pay, and should have the most up to date, real time info, unless they are trying to hide something. This has impacted my family greatly ; I am unable to get to and from work without my vehicle and obtaining a vehicle with the false information on my credit is hindering me from getting another vehicle. They keep reporting on this account even though it was charged off on XX/XX/XXXX. I made a complaint earlier last month and they attempted to update the info but it's still incorrect.

XXXX XXXX This debt collector has engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices in violation of the FDCPA. They reported an account that I neither agreed to nor signed a contract for. A valid legal contract requires the consent and signature of both parties, and I had no involvement in this agreement. Furthermore, they failed to follow the proper five-step validation procedure, further constituting unfair practices. Under the FDCPA, I am entitled to {$1000.00} per violation, and my rights have clearly been violated. I am requesting that this company immediately remove this account from all three major credit reporting agencies and compensate me for these violations. If this is not resolved, I will forward this matter to my litigation attorney.

" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft.
