Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally report numerous inaccuracies on my credit report that constitute a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other relevant regulations. Specifically, I believe there are multiple discrepancies that not only misrepresent my credit history but also violate 15 USC 1681a-i, as well as the regulations set forth by the Consumer Data Industry Association ( CDIA ).

Despite my efforts to resolve these inaccuracies directly with the credit reporting agencies, my concerns have not been adequately addressed, and the erroneous information remains on my report. These inaccuracies are causing me significant distress and impacting my creditworthiness. 

I kindly request your assistance in investigating these matters and in taking the necessary steps to ensure the removal of the inaccurate items from my credit report immediately. 

I appreciate your attention to this urgent matter and look forward to your prompt response. 

Your actions appear to violate several provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically : 1. You have not provided the disclosures required under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ).

2. You are in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ) concerning the accuracy of information provided to consumer reporting agencies.

3. Per 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), your failure to provide accurate and complete disclosure of all necessary information prior to reporting to consumer agencies substantiates the illegal practices in which you are engaged.

In light of this information, I hereby request a complete validation of the alleged debt, as prescribed under the FDCPA. This validation must include : 1. A detailed validation of the debt, including the amount owed and the name of the original creditor.

2. A copy of the purchase agreement and the original creditor that outlines your authority to collect on this account.

Please provide this documentation within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Failure to provide this information will result in your company being required to cease all collection activities regarding this alleged debt, and you must rectify the inaccurate reporting with the consumer reporting agencies.
