Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint personally and in my own words. I have not authorized any company to submit this on my behalf beyond helping me type and send it. This issue directly affects me. I am filing this complaint against Transunion for their continued reporting of a late payment accounts on my credit report which are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This is not only a gross inaccuracy, but it also violates multiple provisions under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including 611 ( a ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ] and 607 ( b ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ]. I previously submitted a formal dispute regarding this inaccurate entry, yet Transunion failed to conduct a meaningful or lawful reinvestigation. They did not contact the furnisher nor provide any documentation verifying its accuracy. Their handling of the dispute shows noncompliance with the FCRAs requirement to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. Transunion appears to rely solely on automated systems such as e-OSCAR rather than performing an actual manual review of disputed items or original records. This kind of automated verification process is insufficient under the FCRA, and can not meet the standard of a 'reasonable ' reinvestigation. Further, under FCRA 607 ( b ), Transunion has a legal obligation to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. Maintaining a late payment account on my record, with no documentation or proper validation, is a clear and damaging violation of that duty. This error has harmed my credit reputation, caused emotional distress, and denied me access to financial opportunities. I am also aware that In light of the XXXX CFPB enforcement action ( CFPB & FTC v. TransUnion ), in which your agency was fined {$23.00} million for systemic reporting failures, I hereby request that my dispute be handled with due diligence and in full compliance with federal law. My experience is consistent with those systemic issues and shows these practices are still ongoing. I am requesting the CFPB to require Transunion to immediately delete the inaccurate information from my credit report, issue a full explanation of their investigation process, and hold them accountable for violating my rights as a consumer. If necessary, I am prepared to pursue compensation for damages under FCRA 1681n and 1681o. I have attached my formal dispute letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, which further outlines my concerns and demands. I respectfully ask the CFPB to investigate this matter and enforce compliance with federal law.
