Dear CFPB Representative, I am submitting this formal complaint against TransUnion, LLC for their failure to correct multiple and repeated errors on my credit report, which is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681 et seq. Despite my attempts to address these inaccuracies with TransUnion directly, they continue to report false and damaging information, including incorrect addresses and erroneous account information that severely impact my creditworthiness and financial standing.

I have never lived at, used, or been affiliated with these addresses in any capacity : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, NC XXXX These address entries are false and potentially result from mixed file errors or identity confusion, which TransUnion has a legal obligation to investigate and correct under : FCRA 607 ( b ) A consumer reporting agency must follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy.
