Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Against XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion for Unlawful Reporting of Inaccurate Information Complainant Information Name : XXXX XXXX Contact Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Georgia, [ XXXX ] Phone Number : ( XXXX ) XXXX Email Address : XXXX Complaint Filed Against 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX. XXXX  Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA, XXXX XXXX. TransUnion Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Illinois, XXXX Summary of the Complaint XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion have unlawfully reported inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite being notified through a cease-and-desist notice dated XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has continued to communicate and provide derogatory information to XXXX and TransUnion regarding account number XXXX. Both credit bureaus have failed in their duty to ensure the accuracy of the information, as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Additionally, XXXX has violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) through unauthorized communications regarding the disputed account. 
Detailed Issues and Violations Definition of Communication The FDCPA defines " communication '' under 15 U.S.C. 1692a ( 2 ) as : " The conveying of information regarding a debt directly or indirectly to any person through any medium. '' Under this definition : 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX continued reporting of the alleged debt to XXXX and TransUnion constitutes unauthorized communication. 
2. These communications are misleading and false, as the debt has been disputed, and no validation has been provided under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). 
Violations by XXXX XXXX XXXX 1. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ) Cease Communication : XXXX was served a cease-and-desist notice, effectively prohibiting further communication about the alleged debt except for specific circumstances ( e.g., confirmation of compliance ). Reporting to credit bureaus constitutes indirect communication prohibited under this statute. 

2. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 8 ) False or Misleading Representations : XXXX falsely represented the debts status to credit bureaus by reporting it as unpaid despite receiving documentation of setoff, settlement, and closure. 

3. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692f Unfair Practices : Reporting this account without substantiating the claim constitutes unfair or unconscionable practices. 

4. Profit and Loss Accounting : XXXX charged off the alleged debt and likely received compensation through insurance claims, tax write-offs, or other means. Under IRS Revenue Ruling 2001-59, such a charged-off debt is deemed satisfied and should no longer be reported as a liability or active obligation. 
Violations by XXXX and TransUnion 1. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Duty to Ensure Accuracy : XXXX and TransUnion failed to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure the information reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX was accurate, despite notice of the dispute. 

2. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to Investigate : After receiving my dispute, both credit bureaus failed to conduct a proper investigation or update/remove the inaccurate information. 

3. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Duty to Respond to Disputes : XXXX and TransUnion have not fulfilled their obligations to investigate and correct inaccuracies reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 



Requested Resolutions 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX : Immediately cease reporting of the disputed account. 
Provide written confirmation of the accounts removal from all credit reporting agencies. 

2. XXXX and TransUnion : Remove all inaccurate or derogatory information related to this account. 
Provide written confirmation of compliance with this request.
