Subject : Urgent Request for Action Against TransUnion for FCRA Violations and Improper Bankruptcy Reporting Dear CFPB, I am writing to request urgent assistance with a matter concerning TransUnions repeated violations of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I have disputed an incorrect bankruptcy record on my credit report three times, and TransUnion has consistently failed to conduct a proper investigation. Instead, they appear to be reusing the same results from previous disputes without investigating my claim as required by law. 

Here is a brief summary of the timeline : - XX/XX/2024 : I submitted my initial dispute regarding the incorrect bankruptcy information. TransUnion claimed to have investigated the matter, but the record remained unchanged. 
- XX/XX/2024 : I disputed the same item again. On XXXX, I received an email from TransUnion stating that they investigated the record and found no changes. The investigation was completed in less than 12 hours, which strongly suggests they reused the same results from the previous dispute without performing a legitimate investigation. 
- XX/XX/2024 : I filed a third dispute. By XX/XX/2024, I received an emailsent at XXXXXXXX XXXXstating that the public record remained unchanged. Once again, no proper investigation was conducted. 

This bankruptcy record does not belong to me, and despite my repeated disputes, TransUnion has failed to take the necessary steps to verify and correct this inaccurate information. 

Under the FCRA, TransUnion is required to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes information on their credit report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). TransUnions practice of using previous investigation results without properly reviewing my claim constitutes a violation of the law. Additionally, under the FCRA, they are obligated to notify the source of the information and review all relevant evidence I have provided, which they have not done in my case. 

I have also requested in writing that they provide the method and procedures they used to investigate my dispute, but they have failed to respond appropriately. 

I am seeking your assistance in holding TransUnion accountable for their ongoing violations and ensuring that this incorrect public record is removed from my report. If no action is taken, I am prepared to pursue legal remedies to protect my rights and rectify this situation. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your support in resolving this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.
