Consumer complaint received 09-05-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (LA).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I obtained my credit report online. There was a U S Bankruptcy Court item listed on my credit report. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the credit bureau can not validate the information with the original creditor, the must remove said information from the consumer credit file. 
The US Bankruptcy Court does not provide information to credit reporting agencies, no do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is never validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U S court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency Privacy Law. 
They further stated while they are not liable or responsible for any misuse or incorrect pulbic records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and often times are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering the information indicating a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation, I need all bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number to be permentantly deleted from my credit report immediately. 
The TRANSUNION Credit Bureau needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these public record accounts bearing either a court order to place this information inf my credit report, or my authorization of relase bearing my signature. In the meantime, to be in full compliance with FCRA Laws and guidelines, all the information listed under Public Records needs to be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my name and social security number. Be further admised that I am closely monitoring my credit file. Per the Federal Law, you have exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623. ( a ) ( 3 ). 
Per the Federal Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), you are required by federal law to verify-through physical verification of the original signed consumer contract and/or judgement- all accounts and public information that you post on anyones credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, email in fradulent and erroneous account information. As such, if this unauthorized public record information is not deleted from my credit report within 30 days, I will be filing a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 
Failure to respond in a satifactory manner within 30 days of receipt of this letter will result in a small claims action against the TRANSUNION Credit Reporting Bureau. I will be seeking no less then XXXX in damages for, but not limited to 1 ) Defamation 2 ) Negligent Enhancement of Identity Fraud ; 3 ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, LA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
