This is my third time requesting your company to BLOCK the information on my credit file that I have identified as identity theft. The law requires any consumer reporting agency to block information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as identity theft, no later than four days of the receipt of an identity theft report, identification of the information, a statement that the information is not related to any transaction completed by me and appropriate proof of identity. I have provided all of the above mentioned documents and your company is not complying with federal regulations. You are requested to BLOCK the information in my report within 4 days of this notice. My request to block is not being made in error, nor is my request to block made on the basis of material misrepresentation of fact by me relevant to my request to block. I have not received or obtained any services, goods, or money from the companies identified in my FTC report. I received a response from your company to my last request for you to block this information. Your company states that I previously asked you to DISPUTE this information that I have identified as identity theft. I AM NOT ASK YOU TO DISPUTE ANYTHING. I AM NOT ASKING FOR VERIFICATION, I AM REQUESTING A BLOCK OF INFORMATION THAT IS A RESULT OF IDENTITY THEFT. IF SOMEONE ASKED YOU TO DISPUTE ANYTHING IN THE PAST, IT WAS NOT ME. I AM REQUESTING A BLOCK OF THE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO 15 USC 1681c-2. I will be filing a complaint with the XXXX, Attorney General and seeking litigation if my request is not taken seriously. Please see attached supporting documents.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PA)

I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report, which I have been unable to resolve despite my efforts. Specifically, I have noticed several hard inquiries on my credit report that I do not recognize, nor do I have any open accounts with the companies responsible for these inquiries. These inquiries are adversely affecting my credit score, and I have no knowledge of where they originated.

Furthermore, I have identified a few closed accounts on my credit report that I do not recognize. I did not open these accounts, nor have I had any prior dealings with the creditors reporting them.

I have attempted to address these issues with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to comply with the Metro 2 standards for reporting accuracy. As a result, my credit report contains erroneous information, and my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) have been violated.

I am formally requesting an investigation into Trans Union for conducting unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit file without my consent. I have never signed any application or given authorization for these hard inquiries to be made. Despite multiple requests, Trans Union has failed to provide any proof of my authorization for these actions, such as a signed application or a contract along with my valid drivers license.

These actions have negatively impacted my credit score and financial standing, causing significant hardship. I have not provided any entity with the authority to access or pull my credit, and Trans Unions failure to comply with FCRA regulations has caused undue harm to my credit standing. I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate Trans Unions practices, hold them accountable for their failure to comply with the law, and take immediate action to remove these unauthorized hard inquiries from my credit report. Additionally, I have repeatedly communicated my concerns to Trans Union, including sending notarized documents via first-class mail, yet they continue to ignore my requests and subject me to XXXX XXXX  through these unauthorized actions. I need verifiable proof of who initiated these hard inquiries, along with proof of identity, to confirm who authorized them. Please investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure that these illegitimate inquiries are removed from my credit file immediately.
