I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because TransUnion is preventing me from disputing inaccurate information on my credit report, which violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). 

The most urgent issue is a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX. XXXX ) filed in the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX It was voluntarily dismissed on XX/XX/XXXX. Despite this, TransUnion continues to report it as an active public record. I have attached the official XXXX of XXXX from the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX When I attempted to dispute this item through TransUnions website, the system blocked me from submitting the dispute. 

In addition, I have tried to dispute several other inaccurate negative items on my TransUnion credit report. These include accounts I do not recognize and derogatory items that appear outdated or unverifiable. 

These errors are adversely affecting my life, including credit denials, high interest rates, and housing barriers. I rely on accurate credit reporting for basic financial stability, and TransUnions failure to allow proper dispute resolution has left me with no recourse.

I request that the CFPB : Investigate TransUnions failure to provide an accessible dispute process.

Require TransUnion to accept and fully investigate all disputed items, including the dismissed bankruptcy. 
Provide documentation on how these items were verified. 
Remove any information that is inaccurate or can not be verified in compliance with the FCRA. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for helping restore accuracy to my credit file.

State: LA

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up to my original CFPB complaint XXXX XXXXXXXX, which included detailed evidence of over 14 separate violations of the FDCPA 7-in-7 rule ( Regulation F ) by Synchrony Bank.

I submitted a spreadsheet documenting excessive contact, 811 calls, texts, and voicemail drops per week, over multiple overlapping 7-day periods between XXXX and XX/XX/year>. 

It has now been over 30 days, and I have received no response from Synchrony at all. In the meantime, I continue to receive collection letters with deadlines and threatening language. 

I am concerned Synchrony is intentionally stalling their response to avoid accountability while continuing to pressure me. This appears to reflect bad-faith participation in the complaint process and possible ongoing noncompliance with Regulation F. 

I am requesting that this case be escalated and that Synchrony be required to respond formally.
