" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute by Certified Mail to TransUnion regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. TransUnion responded by sending me a copy of my credit report, which confirms that they verified my identity at that time. 
Instead of processing my dispute, TransUnion falsely claimed that my dispute did not appear to come from me and refused to investigate. 

I have tracking proof that TransUnion received my dispute and I am re-submitting my dispute with additional ID verification to eliminate their excuse for delaying the process. 

This is a clear violation of my consumer rights under FCRA XXXX, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes submitted by consumers, regardless of the method of submission. 

ATTACHED IS THE CREDIT REPORT THEY SENT ME THE FIRST ROUND XX/XX/2025 then came back with FALSE Accusations after I disputed for method verification and lied and said that this is not me sending in the paperwork, but if you couldnt identify me the first time why would you send my credit report? WHY because I sent all the information that I needed AND THEY DID VERIFY ME, THEY JUST DONT WAN NA INVESTIGATE MY DISPUTE, WHICH IS AGAINST MY RIGHTS! attached is my certified letter receipt the credit report that transmission sent me and the lie they sent me also. This is causing physically mentally emotionally financially stress

In the email it stated that I have a right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to obtain a free copy of the customer report by contacting the Early Warning Services , LLC company and requesting the report. 

When I contacted the company they stated that they " Needed to create a profile on me in order to find the report and send it to me '' I stated that I did not wish to have a profile created and simply want the report mailed or emailed to the address on the report. After I gave them my Name, Address and Social Security number, they wanted me to scan my government Identification Cards ( Driver 's License ) which I refused.

They nevertheless insisted that i provide sensitive identifying information to a private company that has so much power to influence a decision whether or not i am provided banking services in the 21st century. 

Please investigate this company and their unlawful practices.
