Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and accounts connected to XXXX and XXXX, which I do not recognize. These accounts are potentially fraudulent and were improperly re-added to my credit report without providing me the necessary documentation to investigate or validate the legitimacy of the charges. 

Here are the key issues : 1. Re-addition and Re-aging of Fraudulent Accounts : TransUnion allowed XXXX XXXX to re-add previously disputed and deleted accounts related to XXXX and XXXX. These accounts were previously removed due to a lack of validation. I have provided evidence of potential fraud, but they were still re-added without a proper investigation or verification of my disputes. Additionally, the accounts have been re-aged, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 



2. Negligence in Addressing Identity Theft and Medical Incapacitation : I filed an FTC Identity Theft Report and provided proof of my medical incapacitation ( including a hospice certification ). During this period, numerous individuals had access to my devices and personal information, making it impossible for me to monitor accounts. Despite this, the creditors and TransUnion ignored my incapacitation and the identity theft report and closed the case without addressing the fraud or providing any documentation to help me investigate what could have happened. 



3. Failure to Provide Transaction History : I have repeatedly requested full transaction histories for these accounts, including merchant details, dates, and authorization records. This documentation is necessary to determine whether the accounts are legitimate and meet the standards for filing a police report for identity theft. Instead of providing the necessary records, XXXX XXXX continues to send incomplete validation documents that only include the account balance, which proves nothing. Without seeing transaction-level data, there is no way to verify who made these charges. 



4. Exploitation of My Vulnerable Status : I am currently judgment proof following bankruptcy, and my ongoing health issues make it difficult for me to engage in lengthy disputes. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are exploiting my vulnerable status by failing to provide documentation that would allow me to investigate potential fraud. They have been provided with ample proof of my situation but continue to ignore the requests for transaction histories. 



5. Continued Violations of the FCRA : XXXX XXXX is engaging in delete and re-add practices and manipulating balances and account dates without explanation. This violates the FCRA as they are re-aging the debt and adding previously disputed items without any new evidence or validation. The lack of transparency and refusal to provide meaningful verification is unacceptable.
