On multiple occassions I have been discriminated against because of my age.

All phone calls are recorded as they state at the beginning of each call however I doubt they are and are being deceptive, but I would refer tot hem on obtaining them as you'll hear much more.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against TransUnion for their failure to properly address my dispute regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. 
On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to TransUnion requesting an investigation into inaccurate items on my report. To help TransUnion verify my identity and address, I included a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address. 
However, I received a response from TransUnion dated XX/XX/year>, stating : We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a credit bureau is disputed by the consumer, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. 
It appears that TransUnion has violated my consumer rights by not conducting a reasonable investigation upon receipt of my dispute, which they are required to do in accordance with the FCRA. 
I am including a copy of my dispute letter sent to TransUnion, along with TransUnions response as proof.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record.

My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

on XXXX XXXX MRS BPO LLC was added to my XXXX credit report for the amount of {$660.00}. After contacting MRS BPO LLC i was advised that they are collecting on behalf of XXXX XXXX, numerous times i have requested a verification of debt, an itemization of debt. MRS BPO LLC simply sends me a letter saying the name of the company and the amount on their letterhead, nothing actually from XXXX XXXX proving that this is a legit debt owed by me. I've scheduled a payment to settle account with MRS BPO LLC but that arrangement has been canceled due to MRS BPO LLC not providing legit proof that i owe this debt. 
my phone provider has been XXXX XXXX for at least 10 years now so i would have never had a need to get a XXXX XXXX phone. The company has my name listed as XXXX XXXX, that is not my legal name.
