Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Ga, XXXX Date : XX/XX/year> To : XXXX, Experian, XXXX Subject : Request for Removal of Unverifiable Account Dear Credit Reporting Department, I am writing to formally request the removal of an account from my credit report as reported by [ XXXX, Experian, or XXXX ]. This request is based on the recent deletion of an account by XXXX, one of the four major credit reporting agencies. I recently disputed a charge-off for amounts of {$6800.00}, {$3700.00}, {$540.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX listed on my XXXX report, and following a thorough investigation, XXXX has completely removed this unverifiable debt from my report as of XX/XX/year>. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), all consumer reporting agencies must ensure that information in consumer reports is accurate, fair, and verifiable. Since XXXX has removed this account after its verification process, I request that you do the same and remove this unverifiable account from my credit report. 
Supporting Consumer Laws : FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires that inaccurate or unverifiable information must be deleted from a consumer 's credit file. I am exercising my right to ensure that my credit report remains fair, accurate, and free of unverifiable information. Since XXXX has deemed this account unverifiable and removed it, you must take similar action. 
Additionally, under FCRA Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), information suppliers must report only complete and accurate information. With XXXX having deemed this information unverifiable, I urge you to align its records accordingly. 
Please provide confirmation of this removal within 30 days of receipt of this request. If the account is not removed, I am prepared to pursue further actions, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seeking legal action under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including Section 616 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n ), which allows consumers to seek legal recourse for willful non compliance, and Section 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ) for negligent non-compliance.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, as it directly impacts my credit report 's integrity. Please notify me in writing once this deletion has been processed. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this request. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion XXXX XXXX **Subject : Factual Dispute Regarding Credit Reporting** Dear Credit Bureau Representatives , I hope this letter finds you well. I am reaching out with a heavy heart, as I must formally dispute information on my credit profile that I believe is inaccurate. 

The account in question pertains to XXXX. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I understand that I have the right to dispute any information I feel is incorrect or incomplete. It is deeply concerning to me that the information reported by XXXX does not seem to meet the standards of maximum possible accuracy as mandated by the FCRA. 

The FCRA includes several key provisions that support my dispute : 1. **Right to Dispute : ** Consumers have the right to dispute any information on their credit report that they believe is inaccurate or incomplete.

2. **Investigation Requirement : ** Upon receiving a dispute, credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable investigation of the claim and typically have 30 days to complete this investigation.

3. **Verification of Information : ** If the agency can not verify the accuracy of the disputed information, it must remove or correct it from the credit report.

4. **Notification : ** Consumers must be notified of the results of the investigation. If the dispute is resolved in the consumer 's favor, the agency must provide a free copy of the updated report.

5. **Right to Add a Statement : ** If the dispute is not resolved to the consumer 's satisfaction, they can request that a statement explaining their dispute be added to their credit report. 

These provisions are crucial in ensuring that consumers like myself have the ability to correct inaccuracies that could negatively impact our creditworthiness. 

I kindly request that you investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to remove or correct any inaccuracies associated with my account. I have enclosed relevant documents to support my claim, and I sincerely hope they will aid you in your investigation. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I would greatly appreciate a prompt response, as the accuracy of my credit report is vital to my financial future.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
