" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, 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 these accounts though your company claims to have verified these. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system 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 Cushman v TransUnion, Stevenson v. TRW ( Experian ), and Richardson v. Fleet, XXXX, et al, 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-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Transunion is knowingly reporting inaccurate information on consumer report which is in violation of the following FCRA guidelines : 1681s2. ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or consciously avoids knowing that the information is inaccurate.

& ( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors 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; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate. 

I have requested that Transunion make the necessary corrections to my consumer profile by deleting any accounts found to be inaccurate. They have ignored all request and verified visible errors as accurate. Transunion believes they are above the law and do not have to adhere to FCRA guidelines. 

All documentation will be forwarded to legal consultation to determine if violations have occurred. 

Seeking resolution by deletion of all XXXX XXXX  accounts reporting with visible errors.

My account with those creditors was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in those account to be removed.

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX  days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of a fraudulent account under the name XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) on my XXXX credit report. As of XX/XX/year>, this account falsely shows a balance of {$11000.00}. This account was fraudulently opened without my knowledge or consent and was subsequently sold without my authorization. I demand its immediate removal from my credit report and request a thorough investigation into this matter, as well as appropriate compensation for the damages caused. 

Issue Identified The XXXX XXXX XXXX account reported on my XXXX credit report, with a fraudulent balance of {$11000.00} as of XX/XX/year>, is not mine. It was fraudulently created and does not represent any legitimate debt or obligation that I have incurred. Furthermore, this account and my private information were sold without my consent, constituting a violation of my privacy rights and consumer protections. 

Violations and Impact The inclusion of this fraudulent account on my credit report violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The presence of this account has caused undue harm to my credit profile, including a negative impact on my credit score and potential financial opportunities.

Applicable Laws and Regulations XXXX. 15 USC 1681c-2 - Blocking of Information Resulting from Identity Theft : This provision allows consumers to request the blocking of information resulting from identity theft. I am exercising my right under this law to request the immediate removal of the fraudulent account from my credit report.

I am filing a complaint against TransUnion for failing to respond to my dispute letter regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to TransUnion via USPS certified mail ( tracking number : XXXX ), requesting an investigation into inaccurate items on my report. I also disputed incorrect personal information listed on my credit report. 

To assist TransUnion in verifying my identity and address, I included a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address. Despite providing all the necessary documentation, I did not receive any response or investigation results from TransUnion. Subsequently, I sent another dispute letter to Transunion dated XX/XX/year>. Despite my clear and thorough request, I did not receive any response from Transunion with investigation results. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), if a consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of any item in their credit file, the credit bureau is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. It appears that TransUnion has violated my consumer rights by not conducting a reasonable investigation upon receipt of my dispute, as mandated by the FCRA. 

I am including a copy of my dispute letter sent to TransUnion and proof of delivery as evidence. I am now demanding that TransUnion immediately and permanently remove the disputed items from my credit report.
