Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NJ)

I am formally disputing the accuracy and validity of a repossession and charge-off account reported on my credit reports by all three major credit bureaus : XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. Despite my efforts to ensure timely payments and maintain accurate records, these entries have negatively impacted my credit score. I am specifically requesting validation of the following : 1. **Competent Evidence** : Verification of all calculations, accounting audits, dates, and balances related to the account agreements I have with the reporting company.

2. **Validation of Debt** : Clear and indisputable documentation of the consumer-credit contract, bearing my lawful signature, which outlines the terms and conditions I agreed to and may have led to any derogatory marks on my account history. 

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and relevant state laws mandate that all reported information must be accurate and verifiable. In this case, the necessary validation and competent evidence seem to have been overlooked, resulting in the incorrect reporting of the repossession and charge-off status across all three bureaus.

First of all, this company violated the law. I am supposed to receive written notice of a debt and a chance to dispute it. I received nothing from them before they slandered my credit. 

I was no longer the guarantor on a lease as of XXXX. The new lease after was between XXXX XXXX and my sister and her husband. My attorney confirmed I was no longer the guarantor as of XXXX and that according to the paperwork, no further charges would be assessed after they moved out. Even if XXXX XXXX feels money is owed, the dispute is in litigation in court to determine if anyone owes anything. The judge hasnt ruled on anything and I never received any letter from the debt collector. I demand this be removed from the three credit bureaus immediately.
