Consumer complaint received 10/13/2015 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint: As per the correspondence, I received from : The University XXXX - Dated : XX/XX/2015/ CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED XXXX/XXXX/2015. 

This is to inform you that I 've recently pulled my credit report and noticed that there 's a collection listing from The University XXXX on my credit report. I WAS never notified of this collection action or that I owed the debt. This letter is to inform you that I would like a verification of the debt and XXXX ability to collect this money from me. 

Under the FDCPA, I have the right to request a validation of this debt. I request that The University XXXX verify to me and prove that I am indeed the party who is contractually obligated to pay off this assumed fraudulent debt. Upon your review of my University XXXX , Financial Aide Records, your re-investigation will determine, there were no account balances. ( See attached e-mailed documents ). Enclosed with this email. 

The University XXXX should be made aware that reporting any invalidated information to major credit bureaus may constitute defamation of character. In addition, you must also be aware that until you validate this debt, you can not continue collection activities or report this information to the credit bureaus. Non-compliance with this request may land XXXX in serious legal trouble with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and other state/federal agencies. 
Under the FDCPA, debt collectors ( collection agencies or CAs ) are required to send you a debt validation notice within 5 days of contacting you to collect a debt. The notice should also inform you that you have the right to validate/dispute the debt within 30 days of receiving the letter. If you do n't dispute the debt ( or request validation of the debt ) within the 30-day period, the collector has the legal right to assume that you agree the debt is valid.
