Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2022, I sent a certified letter to TransUnion to investigate how they are reporting a payment status on a closed account. They did not respond so I sent a follow up letter in XX/XX/2022. I received a response that they " verified with the creditor that it is reporting correctly ''. I believe this to be a ridiculous response considering, 1 ) The account is CLOSED and was paid in full 2 ) The payment status is not reporting inaccurately because of the creditor it is the way TransUnion is reporting it 3 ) A payment status is to report as the " CURRENT '' Payment status. 
4 ) They are reporting a derogatory payment status on a paid in full closed account. TransUnion is reporting it as ; '' 30 Days Past Due '' The account is closed and paid in full. THEREFORE the Payment Status should read " PAID AS AGREED '' This is an FCRA VIOLATION- and if not corrected I will pursue legal action for their blatant disregard for the law. This is harmful to my credit score and is completely inaccurate. Ive included both certified letters, as well as a copy of my credit report with the inaccurate information highlighted.
