I am REWRITING to formally refile a complaint regarding serious inaccuracies present in my TRANSUNION credit report, which I attempted to rectify through your dispute resolution process. Unfortunately, the outcome has left me dissatisfied as the reported accounts were not adequately verified, and the inaccurate information persists. Background : I discovered discrepancies in my TRANSUNION credit report, specifically related to payment status, payment history, date opened, and dates of late payments. In an effort to rectify these inaccuracies, I promptly submitted a dispute letter via mail, outlining the discrepancies and requesting a thorough investigation. Unsatisfactory Results : Regrettably, the results of the investigation were far from satisfactory. Despite my efforts, the accounts in question were not verified, and the inaccurate information continues to be reported. This has a significant impact on my creditworthiness and financial standing. Violation of FCRA : It has come to my attention that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically outlined in 15 U.S.C. Section 602, have been violated. Section 602 emphasizes the importance of accuracy and fairness in credit reporting, mandating consumer reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum accuracy. 
Right to Privacy : Additionally, I would like to highlight my right to privacy, which is explicitly protected under 15 U.S.C Section 602. The inaccurate information being reported compromises not only my financial standing but also infringes upon my right to privacy, as it misrepresents my credit history. Failure to Obtain Written Instructions ( 15 U.S.C Section 604 A Section 2 ) : Furthermore, 15 U.S.C Section 604 A Section 2 stipulates that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without the consumer 's written instructions. I have not provided such instructions, yet the inaccurate information persists on my credit report. Attached FTC Report : In support of my complaint, I have attached the FTC report with the report number XXXX. This report details the inaccuracies and the steps I have taken to address them, providing a comprehensive overview of the situation. Request for Remedial Action : I hereby request a thorough and immediate reevaluation of my dispute, ensuring that all relevant accounts are verified and the inaccurate information is rectified in accordance with the FCRA. Additionally, I urge TRANSUNION to take corrective measures to prevent such violations in the future.
