Complaint narrative:
TransUnion LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I am writing to express my concern regarding a potential violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) related to the reinsertion of previously deleted information in my credit report. Section 611 ( B ) of the FCRA clearly outlines the procedures and requirements for reinserting any deleted information. 

Background On [ XXXX/XXXX/2024 ], the following information was removed from my credit report : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : [ XXXX ] Date of Deletion : [ XX/XX/XXXX/2024 ] Recently, upon reviewing my updated credit report, I noticed that the previously deleted information has been reinserted without prior notification or proper justification. 

Specific Violations According to Section 611 ( B ) of the FCRA, any reinsertion of deleted information must be accompanied by : Written notification to the consumer within XXXX business days of the reinsertion. 
Certification from the information provider indicating that the information is complete and accurate. 
In my case, I did not receive any notification or corresponding certification, which constitutes a direct violation of the FCRA. 

Request for Immediate Action I kindly request that you : Immediately remove the reinserted information from my credit report. 
Provide a detailed explanation of how and why the information was reinserted without following the stipulated procedures. 
Take necessary measures to prevent future improper reinsertions. 
Additionally, I reserve the right to file a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider other legal actions if this situation is not adequately and promptly addressed. 

TransUnion 's actions have caused significant inconvenience and potential harm to my credit profile, impacting my ability to access fair credit terms and financial opportunities. Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with TransUnion, they have neglected to take appropriate action, demonstrating a lack of accountability and compliance with federal consumer protection

Re : Account Number XXXX To Midland credit XXXX I am writing to formally notify you that I have no knowledge of the account referenced above and believe this account to be fraudulent. I have never opened or had an account with Midland Credit Management associated with this number, and therefore, I am disputing its validity.

According to this law, once a consumer notifies a debt collector that the consumer refuses to pay a debt, the debt collector must cease all further communication. 

I request that you immediately remove any and all information regarding this account from your records and cease any further communication with me regarding this matter. Additionally, I demand that this fraudulent account be removed from all three credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) as it does not belong to me. 

Please provide written confirmation that you have received this notice and that the above-mentioned account has been removed from your records and the credit bureaus. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
am filing this complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of XXXX accounts on my Experian credit report. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with Experian, the inaccuracies remain unresolved, violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related consumer protection laws. 

Account XXXX : XXXX  XXXX Credit Card Account Number : XXXX Status : Charged off with {$570.00} written off. The balance is reported as {$0.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX. 
Issue : The account is incorrectly reported with a balance of {$0.00} while still showing a charge-off status. This misrepresentation violates FCRA Section 1681e ( b ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies must ensure maximum possible accuracy. The conflicting information affects my creditworthiness and misleads potential creditors. 
Account XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Status : Closed with {$470.00} written off as of XX/XX/XXXX. 
Issue : The account shows a balance of {$0.00} but retains the charge-off status. This inconsistent reporting does not comply with FCRA Section 1681e ( b ) and Henson v. CSC Credit Servs., 29 F.3d 280 ( 7th Cir. 1994 ), which requires accurate reporting of account statuses. The discrepancy in reporting is misleading and harmful to my credit profile. 
Account XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card Account Number : XXXX Status : Charged off with {$9600.00} written off and {$9600.00} past due as of XX/XX/XXXX. 
Issue : The account reports an excessive past due amount even after being charged off. The truncation of the account number raises concerns about potential mixed files and identity theft. The reporting does not adhere to FCRA Section 1681e ( b ) and Smith v. LexisNexis, 837 F.3d 604 ( 6th Cir. 2016 ), which mandates that credit reports be accurate and complete to prevent confusion and fraud.

Violations : FCRA Section 1681e ( b ) : Experian has failed to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information reported. The conflicting and incomplete information violates this provision.

FCRA Section 1681i ( a ) : Experian did not properly reinvestigate or correct the inaccuracies after my disputes, failing their duty to ensure accurate reporting.

Case Law : The inaccuracies, including the misleading charge-off statuses and truncated account numbers, violate the standards set forth in Henson v. CSC Credit Servs. and Smith v. LexisNexis.
