Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I am so confused about your credit bureaus investigation on the account, that I am again writing this letter to dispute the fraudulent account on my credit report. As you have known, I have submitted the required FTC report I filed on Federal Trade Commission regarding the fraudulent account on my reoprt and upon submission, XXXX and XXXX removed the said account on their records. I also contacted the bank associated with this account and they said they have removed the accounts, so my question is : why are the account still reporting on your bureau? It is important to note that as a credit bureau, you are legally obligated to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of your records. By failing to remove this fraudulent account, you are not fulfilling this obligation and are exposing me to further harm.

They in fact did not come from a XXXX party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

XX/XX/XXXX I was notified of an aged account reporting to my Transunion credit report. The account reported a name and address that Ive never been associated with ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . Ive been a victim of file merging and identity theft. 

I submitted my 5th dispute via mail on XX/XX/XXXX that Transunion JUST uploaded XX/XX/XXXX ; which is past 30 days. 
My file has been in the special handling /file merging department of Transunion for years. There is no way the debt can be verified accurate when the debtor has a completely different first and middle name. Ive asked for proof of validation four times and each request has been ignored. Transunion is the ONLY CREDIT BUREAU REPORTING THIS INACCURACY. 

Per Federal Law 15 U.S CODE 1681a ( 2 ) ( Ai ) ; A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 
A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate. 

I also understand that according to federal law 15 U.S Code 1666b ( a ) ; A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. 

Lastly, by Federal Law 15 U.S Code 1681c-2, section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. 

I have provided all information legally required for this inaccuracy to be removed and blocked from my credit report including : ( 1 ) FTC Identity Theft Report ( 2 ) Police report ( 3 ) Utility Bill ( 4 ) Photo identification ( 5 ) written statement that the account was not opened by me. 

Transunion has stalled multiple disputes since XX/XX/XXXX with a different excuse every month including : ( 1 ) not receiving substantial proof of identity, ( 2 ) stating they could not locate my credit report even with my file number and social security number provided on each document, ( 3 ) and now stating the debt has been verified but, has yet to furnish proof of validation of the debt. 

Please remove this XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  account from my Transunion Credit report. It has been 5 months of disputes. This is negatively impacting my well-being.
