Complaint narrative:
I am making this complaint in regard to information being reported in my credit file that is causing me great financial despair. Transunion is a private for-profit corporation who is acting under the disguise of a government agency, misleading consumers to believe they have a right to infringe on my privacy. Transunion have obtained my nonpublic personal information without my consent which is considered identity theft, to make a report about personal finances and sell it to other corporations make a profit and I receive no benefits. 

Transunion have caused me to be denied access to my credit for my personal family and household benefit by reporting inaccurate and unverified information. Transunion have not produced any certification or surety bond from a registered agent of the corporation certifying that a valid and legal debt exists. Therefore, anyone who has a subscription can make any report on any consumer whether it is true or not. FURTHERMORE, I DO NOT HAVE A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT WITH TRANSUNION TO SELL MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ( NONPUBLIC INFORMATION TO MAKE A PROFIT FOR THEIR FINANCIAL BENEFIT ONLY ). I HAVE NOT NOR HAVE I EVER RECEIVED COMPENSATION FROM ANY PROCEEDS OF SALE OF MY NONPUBLIC INFORMATION. THIS CONSTITUTES AGRREVATED IDENTITY THEFT AND FRAUD. 

The financial harm I have suffered due to the Negligence of Transunion have caused me to be denied the use of my credit. Every time I apply for credit the creditor adverse notice refers me back to Transunion to correct any errors made.

My insurance company informed me that my premium is high due to my credit report. So, the financial impact goes far beyond me only obtaining credit. I want to move to a new career, but the position entails a credit check, due to adverse credit reporting of my nonpublic personal information by Transunion. I would also be denied future employment Transunion have failed to directly follow the federal compliance laws in accordance with FCRA and handling consumers personal private information.

I literally live in fear due to the distress of credit reporting by Transunion, if I need to obtain any credit to better my life, I am unable to obtain any benefit or opportunity because of Transunion making this report on my personal finances.
