Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 


We've talked to the bank & they've agreed to remove the accounts. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not block the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the Dispute Letter they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the Dispute Letter ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy...

Complaint narrative:
After several attempts to get this matter resolved, XXXX XXXX XXXX still has a collection on my credit report while they are not able to provide 1 ) A copy of the original application which includes my electronic signature 2 ) Full payment history from the original creditor 3 ) The original purchase agreement that shows that they legally own this alleged debt that provides the name and address of the original creditor. Since they can't provide these items, that is proof they can not legally collect this alleged debt. Secondly, XXXX XXXX XXXX is NOT licensed to collect debt in the state of Alabama. Section 604 A Section 2 of the FCRA states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I have at no time sent any reporting agency my written permission and they are not able to prove that I have. Section 15 U.S.C 1666B states : A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

I have sent out this letter regarding my accounts with all three credit bureaus. Subject to subsection ( f ) and except as provided in subsection ( g ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, the agency shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ) To Whom It May Concern : I have just received a copy of my credit report. There are multiple accounts that are inaccurate and inconsistent between all three bureaus. Also addresses and phone numbers are not matching the information that I have already provided to you with my social security card, current license and my birth certificate.
