Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against TransUnion for failing to conduct a proper investigation into my disputes and for accusing me of using an unauthorized third party to submit my requests. I mailed a dispute letter to TransUnion, disputing inaccurate personal information and accounts on my credit report. 
To ensure my identity was properly verified, I included the following documents with my dispute : A copy of my government-issued ID A copy of my Social Security XXXX XXXX recent bill showing my current address I mailed my initial dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX via XXXX XXXX mail ( tracking number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a response stating : " We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. '' This response is puzzling, as all prior communications were sent directly by me and included all required information. 
Subsequently, I mailed a second dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX. To date, I have not received any response from TransUnion regarding this submission. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent another dispute letter, to which I received a response dated XX/XX/XXXX, again stating : " We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. '' Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumer reporting agencies are legally obligated to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information on a consumers credit file. Based on the repeated rejections of my valid, properly submitted disputes, it appears TransUnion has failed to meet its obligations under the FCRA and has wrongfully dismissed my requests by mischaracterizing them as unauthorized. 
I respectfully request that this matter be investigated and that TransUnion be held accountable for failing to conduct the required reinvestigations in accordance with federal law.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
