Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX approximately XXXX i was awaiting a phone call returned and scheduled for this am. No one form TransUnion called. In this matter TransUnion Failed to protect me XXXX XXXX XXXX the consumer in this matter. There are multiple issues with this matter. In their response they TransUnion stated that the XXXX XXXX account was opened XX/XX/XXXX and closed XX/XX/XXXX, within 30 days of the alleged account being opened. I have spoken with said bank and asked them to verify this information, they said they could not. They XXXX XXXX stated that both accounts had no data for application opening date. So if this is the case how is it appearing on my credit report and not deleted. I have asked repeatedly that this fraudulent information be deleted. On XX/XX/XXXX i spoke with TransUnion employees one by the name of XXXX located in Pennsylvania. She said that the internal reasons of identity theft based upon TransUnion practices and not the FDCPA or the FCRA that they could not and would not delete the identity theft information from my record. Making it appear to be late by 30 days on one card ending in XXXX and the other card ending in XXXX. I also spoke with a XXXX same state of Pennsylvania, whom said that there where several addresses listed for me in the State Of California, she would not or could not share this information with me. I stated to her after identifying myself in full that my correct address was XXXX ... XXXX XXXX CA XXXX. She noted that there where multiple addresses from XXXX XXXX NV to XXXX MI that would need to be deleted. So i asked her to do so. The issue here is that TransUnion is ignoring the FDCPA and the FCRA for their own reasons. As internal practices, as this information has been deleted and updated with the other credit reporting agencies but not with said reporting agency herein and others possibly. This is identity theft and when i asked TransUnion about their process i was told over the phone today XX/XX/XXXX, that they have internal process which couldn't be shared rather XXXX said that something was wrong with the addresses listed and name was incorrect. my name is spelled XXXX XXXX XXXX not XXXX XXXX XXXX i do not live or have a mailing address at XXXX MI nor in XXXX XXXX. The bank listed these addresses but they are false. If the dates are wrong and the responses from the banks are inaccurate how is there a report and why is it not being deleted? This account and all accounts by XXXX XXXX should be deleted they have not provided accurate or belongs to me. According to the 809.
