Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 1700 G Street NW Washington, DC 20552 Subject : Complaint against TransUnion for Violation of FCRA Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for what I believe to be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
I had previously contacted TransUnion on XXXX regarding a bankruptcy that is showing only on my TransUnion report. As per the FCRA, I requested a method of verification for their investigation of this matter. However, despite my repeated requests, TransUnion has failed to provide the method of verification. 
Furthermore, TransUnion stated that they contacted the creditor, who is reporting on my credit report. However, I received a letter from the creditor stating that they do not verify credit reporting information. This discrepancy is concerning and suggests a lack of due diligence on the part of TransUnion. 
This lack of transparency and failure to provide the requested information is, to my understanding, a violation of the FCRA. The FCRA clearly states that consumers have the right to know the information in their file and the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. 
I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to look into this matter and take appropriate action. I am hopeful that your intervention will ensure that TransUnion complies with the FCRA and corrects their reporting practices. 
Please find attached copies of my correspondence with TransUnion and the creditor for your reference. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

On XX/XX/2023, we purchased for a total of {$30000.00} worth of XXXX XXXX prepaid ( {$500.00} and {$1000.00} values ) cards as gifts to our employees. I kept several for myself. We bought it from XXXX and the link where these cards offered is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
I had unauthorized charges on two cards. 
I activated two cards ( for {$500.00} and for {$1000.00} ), by calling the number on it on XXXX XXXX or XXXX and then using the {$500.00} card, I made an online purchase for {$97.00} on XX/XX/2023. When I tried using the same card on a different vendor within the next few days, it was declined. Then I logged on to see its balance and apparently there were two additional charges were made by vendors I never heard of, and it was spent to the exact XXXX  of its balance left ( {$400.00} ) after my purchase. First charge was made on XX/XX/2023 for {$190.00}, and the second on XX/XX/2023 for {$200.00}. I called XXXX number and disputed the charges and they opened up a case. Today, I received an email from company called INCOMM ( www.incomm.com  ), saying my dispute was denied. Before this denial email, I had also called XXXX XXXX Credit Card customer service number since we paid for these gift cards with our XXXX Credit card. I explained them our issue but they said they can not help us and we have to deal with XXXX. 
The second card ( {$1000.00} ) I had activated, apparently was spent to the penny before I can even use it. So I had also opened a case for that as well but did not hear back about that case yet. We feel that this is a very big scam. Somebody, somehow can now the exact balance of your card and possibly making fraudulent charges to the exact balance on the cards once they are activated on the phone. I am attaching the Statement ( with an image of the card ) of the {$500.00} card with XXXX charges on it. And only the {$97.00} is authorized.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (SC)

I've observed several deviations from mandatory reporting standards, which raises concerns about the accuracy and completeness of the data in my report. Consequently, I reject the allegations against me and challenge you to provide evidence that justifies reporting this incomplete negative information on my credit report.

In accordance with 15 U.S.C 1681e, consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of information in consumer reports. Additionally, 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) mandates furnishers to provide information about consumer accounts with integrity and accuracy. It also requires them to conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes, following Metro 2 compliance standards outlined in the CRRG.

Deviation from these standards jeopardizes the integrity of the data, as emphasized in the CRRG. Any errors in reporting can compromise the accuracy of federally regulated reports. Therefore, I am exercising my rights to challenge these inaccuracies and non-compliant items. Ignoring my request would indicate a disregard for my consumer rights.

It is unjust for you to report unconfirmed and potentially unethical information that does not meet certified reporting standards. I am disputing these claims and demanding proof of proper reporting standards. Your actions are a violation of my rights, as outlined in this document. The incomplete and non-compliant nature of the report does not meet legal standards. I insist that you certify all aspects of required FCRA/Metro 2 compliance truthfully, correctly, and in a timely manner. Failure to do so may lead me to escalate these issues to the CFPB, FTC, and my Attorney General.
