Complaint narrative:
I was applying for a refinance on a property I own and when the mortgage company ran my credit my trans union score was not showing up at all. So I checked my credit karma and there also my score for trans union showed XXXX while my Equifax and Experian were both in the high 700s. I called trans union multiple times, and after hours of waiting on hold to get to a manager they tell me it should be resolved within 5 days and gave me a file number. I check now about two weeks from this last call and still no change. So I called again today spent like an hour on the phone then got transferred to another manager who told me the same thing. Its been almost a month and I can not proceed with the refinance till I have my trans union back to normal, at this point I will have to put it in one of my partners names but I need this to be fixed for the future.

Subject : Demand for Immediate Action : FCRA Violations and Identity Theft This letter serves as a formal complaint regarding serious inaccuracies in my credit report, which constitute clear violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under Sections 605B, 611, and 623.

FCRA Violations : Section 605B ( Block of Information Resulting from Identity Theft ) : This requires you to block fraudulent information from a consumer 's credit report within four days upon receipt of a proper identity theft report.

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to the Bureaus regarding the inaccuracies and unknown entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't received a response even after 30 days. It feels like my concerns are being overlooked, and I'm not being treated fairly. As per Section XXXX ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. Since that time has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated right away. If this doesn't happen, I may have to consider legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was compromised in the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which adds to my worries about the safety of my personal data.
