Complaint narrative:
Request for Immediate Removal of Inaccurate Bankruptcy Reporting Dear CFPB Representative, I am submitting this formal complaint against TRANSUNION for reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 623 ( a ) ( 5 ), information furnishers are legally required to ensure that the data they report is accurate, complete, and verifiable.

My credit report currently reflects a bankruptcy that has not been properly verified. In accordance with my rights under the FCRA, I previously submitted a formal dispute to TRANSUNION, requesting documentation that supports the accuracy of this reported bankruptcy. However, to date, I have not received any verifiable proof or an adequate response addressing my concerns. 

This inaccurate reporting is severely damaging my credit history, affecting my ability to secure financing and financial opportunities. Given the lack of verification, I request the CFPBs immediate intervention to ensure that TRANSUNION either : 1. Provides concrete, verifiable documentation that justifies the inclusion of this bankruptcy in my credit report, OR 2. Removes the bankruptcy entry immediately due to non-compliance with the FCRA.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your swift response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
