Consumer complaint received 2024-09-07 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the continued reporting of accounts on my credit report that have not been properly verified, despite my requests for investigation. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Procedures in case of disputed accuracy ), you are required to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of any information on their credit report. I have not received proper written notice of the results of any investigation, which is a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( Notification of results of reinvestigation ).

Furthermore, I question how you can verify that these accounts truly belong to me if you are not conducting a thorough investigation. If you can not provide documented proof of these accounts validity, you are legally obligated to remove them from my credit report under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( Requirement to delete or modify information that can not be verified ). 

Additionally, I request that you remove any hard inquiries not associated with an open account, particularly those made within the last six months. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( Permissible purposes of consumer reports ), inquiries can only be made with my explicit consent, and I have not applied for new credit recently. With the recent nationwide data breach in which my Social Security number was exposed, its possible that credit was applied for in my name without my knowledge.

Lastly, please ensure the removal of any duplicate information from my credit report, as accuracy is required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( Compliance procedures ).

I trust you will follow the law and promptly investigate and correct the errors in my credit report. Failure to comply may result in further action to protect my rights.
