Complaint narrative:
Attached is my Drivers License, utility bill that mATCHES and my ssn card I am filing this complaint because I have been unable to access my free annual credit report through TransUnions website and mobile app, as well as being unable to file disputes on their platform. This has been an ongoing issue, and despite several attempts to log in and resolve the matter, I have been denied access to my account. 

Key Details : Attempts to Log In : I have tried multiple times to log in using my credentials, but I repeatedly receive error messages that prevent me from accessing my account. 
Customer Service : I have contacted TransUnions customer service, but no resolution was provided. [ Include specific dates, times, and the names of representatives if possible. ] Dispute Access Blocked : In addition to the login issue, I am unable to file disputes online, which is a violation of my rights under multiple consumer protection laws.

Laws Potentially Violated : 1. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : TransUnion is violating my right to access my free annual credit report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) and my right to dispute inaccurate information on my report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). Their failure to allow me to dispute errors online also contradicts their obligation to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ).

2. Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ) : Under the CFPA, TransUnions actions could be considered unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices ( 12 U.S.C. 5531 ). They are failing to provide me with the access I am entitled to under the law.

3. Federal Trade Commission Act ( FTC Act ) : By not providing access to my credit report and blocking my ability to dispute errors, TransUnion is engaging in potentially unfair or deceptive practices, which is prohibited under the FTC Act ( 15 U.S.C. 45 ).

4. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act : TransUnions practices may violate UDAAP provisions ( 12 U.S.C. 5531 & 5536 ) by unfairly restricting access to credit report information and dispute processes. 
XXXX. Electronic Signatures in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) : If TransUnion is providing electronic access to credit reports and disputes but not making them accessible to me, they may be violating the E-Sign Act ( 15 U.S.C. 7001 ).

6. Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) : By limiting my ability to access my credit report and dispute errors, TransUnion may be violating the ECOA ( 15 U.S.C. 1691 ) by potentially preventing me from accessing my credit history.

7. Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ) : TransUnions actions may hinder my ability to monitor my credit for identity theft, violating my rights under FACTA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681m ).
