Complaint narrative:
I like to file a complaint against Transunion for reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. They are reporting a bankruptcy that is inaccurate. When I contacted the Bankruptcy court listed on my credit file I was told " Bankruptcy Courts has no jurisdiction over credit reporting agencies and does not report to any of the agencies. The bankruptcy petition, schedules, and other documents are public records. Credit reporting agencies regularly collect information from cases filed and report the information on their credit reporting services. '' The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) which is a federal law regulates credit reporting agencies like XXXX from which Transunion has gotten this information from and compels you to insure the information you gather and distribute is a fair and accurate summary of a consumers credit history. Under the FCRA you must investigate inaccurate, outdated, and unfair items on a consumers credit report. Doing further research on my part XXXX perhaps get Public Record information from Public Access to Court Electronic Records ( PACER ). This however is not sufficient legal proof under the FCRA. The best way to do that would be for my social security number and date of birth to match yours, but its impossible because of Rule 9037 of the Federal Bankruptcy Rules. Rule 9037 addresses privacy and security concerns arising from filing documents, whether electronically or in paper format, in a bankruptcy case. Specifically, Rule 9037 requires the redaction of specific personal identification information ( i.e., Social Security and taxpayer identification numbers, names of minor children, financial account numbers, and dates of birth ) from unsealed documents filed with the court, as well as other private or sensitive information identified by the court for cause. To address the privacy concerns resulting from public access to electronic case files, Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9037 requires that certain personal identification information be redacted from documents filed with the court. Filings that contain an individuals social security number, tax payer identification number or birth date, the name of a minor, or a financial account number may include only : The last four digits of the social security number and tax identification number, the year of the individuals birth, the minors initials and the last four digits of the financial account number. This makes it impossible for you to say with certainty that the Bankruptcy is in fact belong to me. I demand you to remove this bankruptcy since you are willfully and knowingly providing false information and therefore are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Per Federal Law you have 30 days to remove this bankruptcy from my credit report.
