I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

Dear Credit Bureaus, I am writing this letter to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX, XXXX and Transunion for their refusal to provide me with validation of a debt. Despite several attempts to seek validation of this debt, XXXXXXXX XXXX  has consistently claimed that they do not have any obligation to provide me with such validation. 

It has been over 30 days since XXXXXXXX XXXX confirmed receiving my correspondence, and yet they have failed to provide me with any validation of their debt collection. I would like to bring to your attention that this is a clear violation of consumer laws that require creditors to provide validation of a debt upon request. 

According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), consumers have the right to request validation of a debt from creditors. This includes information on the original creditor, the amount owed, and any other relevant information. Failure to provide this information within 30 days of receiving the request is a violation of the FDCPA. 

In my case, XXXX XXXX has failed to provide me with any validation of their debt collection despite my repeated requests. Instead, they have sent me transaction records, which do not qualify as validation of a debt under the law. 

I would like to inform you that I will file a small claim requesting {$1000.00} for defamation and willful injury if this debt is not removed from my reports immediately. I hope that you will take appropriate action against XXXX XXXX and ensure that they comply with the consumer laws. 

In conclusion, I urge you to take this matter seriously and ensure that credit bureaus stand up for the rights of consumers. It is important that creditors are held accountable for their actions and that consumers are protected from unfair and illegal debt collection practices. 

I have attached all correspondence as well as screenshots of the laws pertaining to Validation, They have also admitted that they sent my debt to a debt collection agency Violating my rights AGAIN by sharing my no public information without my CONSENT, or providing me any proof of signed disclosures saying I authorize these actions Violating the Gramm Leach Bliley Act! 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.
