Complaint narrative:
Ive sent in several letters to TransUnion, is an effort to dispute and have a inaccurate public record removed. My complaint today is in regard to the following issues 1. My initial complaint submitted in May has not been honored. The company has NOT provided the METHOD OF VERIFICATION/ validation as requested although they state the account is verified as accurate. I requested this on TWO separate occasions, it is witihin my rights to request this information. TransUnion has failed to COMPLY.

2. They updated the public record, instead of DELETING the item from my report entirely. Their update STILL shows SERIOUS INACCUARTE information.

3. The item needs to be REMOVED - Ive highlighted numerous major errors and inaccuracies and sent to TransUnion, all VALID reasons for the item to be deleted - I sent in an original copy of a letter addressed to me XXXX XXXX XXXX, from the Clerk of court of the US Bankruptcy Court of Wisconsin Eastern District stating that they do NOT report ANY information to ANY credit agency Per federal law, all items should be verified with the ORIGINAL SOURCE. Since I have correspondence from the Clerk of Court, I know this was not done.

- Since they have failed to provide the method of verification, I can only assume it was obtained ILLEGALY, I have not given permission to ANY 3rd party company to obtain, house, or report any personal information regarding myself 4. TransUnion LLC has violated my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act - Laws violated are as follows : o [ 15 U.S.C. 1681 ] 602 ( 4 ) there is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for consumers rights to privacy o 15 U.S. Code 1681b Permissible purposes of consumer reports ( a ) In general subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers.

It is the purpose of this title to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this title.

- Under Federal Law TransUnion is required to report only 100 % accurate information. They are NOT doing this in my case and blatantly refuse to cease and desist from reporting this Illegal and highly inaccurate information
