Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

Hi, I wrote all three credit bureaus to provide original documentation with my signature to challenge the accuracy, compliance, and reportability of these incorrect listings by XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I want to add that nothing from the Credit Bureaus was ever received that I asked for by postal mail. Only a standard " fraud letter '' that has nothing to do with my request for documentation with my signature, totally ignoring my right to request original documentation with my signature allowing such reporting and especially providing explicit written consent by me as afforded by The Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Willful disobedience of my right to request these items is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and their continued unwillingness to obey the law and provide me with my requests means they have to remove the items that smear my otherwise stellar payment histories with dozens of other creditors. In fact, their letters sent to me say " STILL PENDING '' and won't be resolved until XXXX the XXXX which exceeds the thirty-day period of the law in my request for documentation with signatures of original copies of my permission which I never gave, and, why I requested the false negative items removed and thus now writing you to be an advocate for me to clear my besmirched credit history that is adversely affecting my ability to purchase my final home. 

XXXX commented via the credit report that they had " that XXXX XXXX met the requirements '' totally ignoring my request below for documentation, for late payment removal. TransUnion stated that there is no late payment reported appearing on my TransUnion Credit Report, that letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX. However, upon looking at my Transunion Credit Report dated with the same date of XX/XX/XXXX it clearly states that the statement they made saying nothing was negative in my report is false because it is on my report. They can't even get their facts straight on two items dated the same date. I want these removed as is my right for them first being clearly incapable of getting it right, and second, they failed to produce the documentation I requested, not, once, not twice but three times now. 

The same applies to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX as the credit bureau never sent anything by mail as requested and only commented via XXXX Report saying " that the company reported back to them saying that the information was accurate '' Again they ignored my right to ask for documentation signed by me as is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as such, I am asking for the negative incorrect items to be removed. This was my third polite attempt to all three Credit Bureaus and again as stated above I need an advocate to make them obey our Federal Laws. 

TransUnion and XXXX failed to even respond within the thirty-day period required by law and thus should be removed as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act " FOR MY CHALLENGES of both XXXX XXXX Late Payment in XXXX of XXXX. All letters were sent with Certified Return Receipts and verified as having been delivered. Copies of these receipts will be given to you as I keep precise records of something so important and vital in need of correction as I am trying to secure financing for a new home and a new roof over the people I take care of. My reports are clean and excellent with the case in point being I have had my oldest account with XXXX since XXXX and have never been late for any payment in the 21 years, I have been associated with them. That's over XXXX consecutive payments and I can assure you that I am that meticulous at age XXXX to understand the importance of on-time payments this is my third letter to both companies to remove the incorrect information I have removed the personal information as you instructed from the original content so all you see below is the content and complaint but not my name and social security number XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I have recently been informed that there is negative information reported by XXXX XXXX in the file you maintain under my Social Security number.
