Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My credit report has certain accounts that I'm not familiar with. Since I never gave them permission, they could be the product of identity theft. Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history. I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and find a solution under the FCRA if we can't work this out. The inaccurate items that appear on my credit report have been a big obstacle for me. They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
CFPB, Improper Dispute Handling It has come to my attention that TransUnion continues to forward my disputes to XXXX XXXX, even though XXXX  no longer owns or services this debt. This practice is a direct violation of my consumer rights because : Unverifiable Debt Once an account is sold or transferred, the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX  ) no longer has the authority or obligation to validate the debt. Forwarding disputes to them is ineffective and misleading.

FCRA 1681i ( a ) The law requires TransUnion to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. Referring disputes to an entity that no longer owns the account does not satisfy this requirement.

FCRA 1681e ( b ) TransUnion must ensure maximum possible accuracy. Continuing to report unverifiable information from XXXX violates this duty.

FDCPA 1692g I never received any notice of debt validation from the new owner, further proving that the debt can not be verified. 

California CCP 337 This alleged account is time-barred under Californias 4-year statute of limitations, making it uncollectible.

CCCRAA 1785.14 ( b ) Reporting obsolete, time-barred debt in California is unlawful.

Cease and Desist Demand I demand that TransUnion immediately cease forwarding disputes regarding this account to XXXX XXXX, as they no longer own the debt and can not lawfully verify it. By continuing this practice, TransUnion is knowingly violating my rights under federal and state law. 

Requested Resolution Delete the XXXX XXXX account from my credit file. 

Cease all improper forwarding of disputes to XXXX XXXX. 

Provide me with a corrected credit report reflecting this deletion. 

If TransUnion and XXXX XXXX  continue these violations, I will escalate further with the California Attorney Generals Office and legal counsel.
