Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my credit report and discovered several inaccuracies across multiple accounts. For example, XXXX XXXX reported incorrect late payments and conflicting repossession remarks, XXXX XXXX listed a late payment for XX/XX/year>, and XXXX XXXX inaccurately recorded late payments for XXXX and XX/XX/year>. Additionally, XXXX XXXX reported a debt without proper validation. 

I am requesting that TransUnion investigate these issues under 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Please be advised that I am requesting a full investigation, not an automated one. I expect thorough documentation of the investigation steps, including the individuals contacted and the findings.

Failure to comply may result in action against TransUnion for willful and negligent noncompliance.

I sent out letters to all bureaus and still have yet to receive a reply. It has been more than sixty seven days since I mailed dispute letters. And over thirty one days since my last complaint filed with cfpb. And yet I still havent heard anything. Nor has the problem been resolved. My rights are being violated. And I refuse to allow more time for them to try and correct the inaccurate information. When the laws clearly state the allocated time they have and what will occur if situation is not handled appropriately. I wish to have all inaccurate information removed and I request compensation for the stress and duress this process has put me under. 15 USC 1681 s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) clearly states that a person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate!

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Their request comes from some account numbers that are unknown to me and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I did not change ANYTHING in the settings and, as I indicated earlier, all other payments go through perfectly.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the immediate deletion of the following account from my credit report due to violations of my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and/or the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The account in question is : Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Upon reviewing the details of this account, I have identified the following violations : Failure to Validate the Debt : I requested validation of the alleged debt on XX/XX/2024, and XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to respond or provide proper validation within the 30-day statutory period, as required by the FDCPA. 

Reporting Inaccurate Information : The information being reported by Experian is inaccurate and does not reflect any legitimate debt obligation. I dispute this account and request that it be removed from my credit report immediately. 

Lack of Signed Contract : I have never signed a contract or agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX, and no proof of such a contract has been provided. The debt collectors attempt to collect this debt and report it to credit agencies without such proof violates my consumer rights. 

Due to these violations, I am requesting the immediate removal of this account from my credit report and cessation of all collection activities related to this matter. Continuing to report or attempt to collect on this debt without validation or accurate reporting is in violation of federal law. 

I trust that you will take the necessary steps to investigate and resolve this matter promptly. Please confirm in writing that this account has been deleted from my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will not hesitate to file a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and other relevant regulatory agencies. 

Sincerely, XXXX
