Complaint narrative:
I am writing to demand the fraudulent XXXX account that has been reporting to my credit card for a year now to be removed. The account begins in XXXX. I have submitted multiple fraud reports for this account to be removed and disputes. Transunion 's customer service requested for me to turn in the full FTC report in order for this account to be removed due to Fraud. That has been done. I attached the full report to this letter. By law, an FTC works when fraud is involved and the account needs to be removed immediately. We go by the law. 
Previously, this account has been removed for fraud and re-added because XXXX fraudulently changed the account number for this account. I contacted Transunion ; XXXX customer service on the phone and they thought this was a brand new account. Please review my XXXX account history and you will see that this is the same account that was previously removed by Transunion, just with new account numbers. 
These items were deleted and you added them back without sending me a letter informing me that it was added back within the 5 day legal time frame after you added it back. You also never provided me with the information used to validate this fraudulent account account to 15 U.S Code 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) ( iii ). This account must be removed immediately. If not, My attorney & I will take the necessary steps to ensure I receive all compensation for this horrific injustice regarding my credit report through a lawsuit.
