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. (LA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to TransUnion LLC to reinvestigate accounts on my consumer report. I received the results of that investigation on XX/XX/XXXX. 

The results of the investigation included a message that TransUnion LLC investigated the items from XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and verified that they belonged to me. The items still included multiple inaccuracies and FCRA violations. 

I submitted another reinvestigation request on XX/XX/XXXX in hopes of correcting the errors from the XX/XX/XXXX results. My letter included a request for the description of the reinvestigation procedure pursuant to 15 USC 1681i. I specifically asked for TransUnion LLC to provide the names, phone numbers and business addresses of each individual with whom they verified the accounts at XXXX XXXX TransUnion LLC violated this law by refusing to provide the information as requested : 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description. 

Additionally, since TransUnion LLC verified that the items belonged to me, I requested a copy of the binding agreement containing my signature and account number from XXXXXXXX XXXX for each item. TransUnion LLC completed the investigation on XX/XX/XXXX and stated again that the items were verified as belonging to me without doing a proper investigation. TransUnion LLC and XXXX XXXX failed to provide a binding agreement for the items they verified as belonging to me. TransUnion LLC and XXXX XXXX violated 15 USC 1681s-2 by reporting information with knowledge of errors.

Furthermore, TRANSUNION LLC and XXXX XXXX  did not clearly note that the items were disputed. They violated 15 USC 1681s-2.
