Consumer complaint received 2023-02-04
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. (FL)

The account below, popped up out of my credit report within the last 60 days out of no where. I never received anything in the mail, email or telephone call from this company inquiring about an alleged debt they've purchased. The account being challenged is Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX I've contacted them and asked them to verify the debt and they have yet to 'Verify The Debt '. Instead they sent me something in the mail and told me to pay a company named XXXX but there is not such company reporting on my TransUnion credit report and I don't know of any such company. 

Please note that I've tried to fix the following problem and TransUnion only responds will a stall letter to me stating that I am using a credit repair company, which I am not and they refuse to honor my dispute letter. Transunion needs to stop mailing me these stall letter templates just so their company can ignore consumer laws. 

TransUnion, please mail me an updated copy of my credit report via USPS mail based on the results of this challenge and don't answer this CFPB complaint stating you will contact me directly because when you do, all you do is mail the stall letter template with no challenge dispute results.
