Complaint narrative:
It really has been a hassle to get an accurate credit report. After disputing this account with Transunion and XXXX, they have since; allowed the company to furnish different information on my consumer report. To my understanding my report is supposed to be 100 % accurate. Based on the payment information received from XXXX XXXX XXXX and comparing the consumer reports, it is still reporting incorrectly. I have addressed Transunion and XXXX, which both have stated that they do not furnish the information or change it. They stated that the change was from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I understand that XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a ) states that credit reporting should be fair and accurate. I also understand that transactions and experiences should be excluded from the consumer report. As a consumer I have a right to privacy as well. In pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX giving or providing false information is a violation. 

Transunion verified that this was in fact an accurate account in the past. This account has reported a past due balance after the repossession took place. It has since been changed and payment information has been modified. If it was accurate when I disputed this account, why has there been changes since then? 

Instead of deleting this account due to inaccuracy these agencies prefer to be above the law and change the report how they feel suitable. They have completely removed the balances so that I can not view them. 

Proof that changes have been made is provided. Proof that this was not accurate the first nor second time it was disputed, is provided. Proof that this is still in fact inaccurately reporting is provided.
