I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd 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 appreciate you trying to update and repair some of the data on my credit report, but some accounts still need to be fixed.

I am deeply disappointed by the presence of inaccurate and undocumented information on my credit report. Claims lacking proof of validity, such as delinquency allegations, are unsubstantiated and challenge their reportability. It is imperative, in compliance with federal and state laws, to accurately and completely report allegations without violating regulations. I urge you to ensure factual and correct reporting, as required by the XXXX XXXX reporting standard. Please provide verifiable physical evidence to support the account 's existence and permissible usage. If unable to do so, I insist on its removal from the report. I grant authorization for you to send physical documentation of your actions and an updated credit report.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on this account. Actually I am not sure that the account is even mine though your company claims to have verified this. Depending solely on your flawed XXXX XXXX has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-XXXX XXXX that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Current credit score issued by Equifax is misleading and incorrect. I have had several debts show up as " decreased '' in the amount owed as I have steadily paid them down. The other two reporting agencies show an " improved '' credit score. Equifax score went DOWN by 17 points. This is not correct and they would not give me a reason for the decrease in my score.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I am writing to file a complaint against XXXX XXXX account number XXXX, for violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This account contains inaccurate information. It is not a true reflection of my credit history and continues to appear on my consumer report, despite my multiple attempts to have it removed. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602 A, I have the right to privacy. 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. XXXX XXXX has violated these rights by failing to remove the inaccurate information from my report. 

I request that you investigate this matter and ensure that XXXX XXXX corrects the inaccurate information and removes the account from my credit report. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter
