Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

Hey guys, you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. I am distressed and angry that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure the maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. 
I was reading today that the Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information, therefore, needs to be re-investigated. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, or email in a fraudulent account. 
I demand to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with my signature on it ) that you have on file for the account listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of the verifiable proof, you must remove the account listed below : 1. XXXX XXXX 2. XXXX 3. XXXX 4. XXXX 5. XXXX XXXX XXXX 6. XXXX 7. XXXX XXXX

This is my last and final letter to your non compliant company before I file suit against all parties involved. FYI, it is a crime to threaten suit with no intention of actually filing suit, so be advised ... have every intention of following through with this to protect my rights as a consumer. 

I have sent your company many letters requesting that you investigate a list of inquiries that I believe are reporting incorrectly. Not responding to my requests is a violation of the Fair CreditReporting Act and will not be tolerated. In case you would like to settle this matter between youand I, rather than me filing suit against your company, I will once again list the inquiries inquestion so that you may do as you are governed by the FCRA. 

Please investigate this account : XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date XX/XX/2022. 

I have tried to contact these companies on my own, but I have not been able to get very far. Itried to contact them using the phone numbers that are provided on my credit report. Half of thenumbers are not even correct. The companies that I was able to get in touch with do not evenhave any record of me. How can they have a permissible business purpose to pull my credit, ifthey have N0 record of me? 

As I stated, I have already given your company quite enough time to investigate the items inquestion, but I am willing to give you one more chance. If I do not receive results of yourinvestigation within 15 days of receipt of this letter, I will be forced to file suit against your company. I will also be contacting the XXXX XXXX XXXX and the Federal Trade Commission.
