Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against both XXXX and TransUnion regarding their inability to resolve an issue that has severely impacted my ability to access my credit report. This unresolved matter is causing significant delays in the process of purchasing a home, as my lender is unable to access the necessary credit information. Despite my extensive efforts over the past seven months, XXXX and TransUnion has failed to address my concerns or provide a satisfactory resolution. 


I have contacted XXXX approximately 27 times and TransUnion about 10 times to resolve this issue. Each interaction has been met with inadequate customer service, leaving me without a resolution. 

As requested by XXXX and TransUnion, I have submitted the following verification documents on three separate occasions via certified mail : Copy of my Social Security card Copy of my passport Copy of my drivers license Copy of my passport card All documents were sent via certified mail to ensure receipt by XXXX and TransUnion. Despite fulfilling all documentation requirements, I have received no confirmation or resolution from the company. 


Over the past seven months, I have repeatedly submitted the required documents and reached out to XXXX and TransUnion for assistance. 

During this time, I have not been granted access to my credit report, and XXXX, TransUnion has not communicated any updates or reasons for the delay. 


I am currently in the process of purchasing a home. However, my lender is unable to access my credit report, which has stalled the approval process and jeopardized my ability to secure financing. 


The lack of resolution from XXXX and TransUnion has caused significant stress and frustration. The repeated failure to address my concerns has left me feeling helpless and concerned about potential repercussions on my financial goals.

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. ''
