Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Transunion is violating multiple consent orders, state laws, public policies and cdd rules. 
My name is XXXX, and I am writing to demand the removal of an inaccurate collection account from my credit report and compensation for my time and effort in disputing it. The account in question is from Fair Collections And Out and it is showing on my credit report without my consent. I have no contract with Fair Collections And Out and have given no consent for them to use my name, likeness, or credit data. Furthermore, this collection account violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) as per Section 607 ( a ) ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) of the FCRA which requires credit reporting agencies like TransUnion to ensure that the information they report is accurate, complete and up-to-date. Also, Section 615 ( a ) ( 1 ) states that no person shall furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or consciously avoids knowing that the information is inaccurate. Additionally, this violates Section 621 of the FCRA which states that any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00}, as the court may allow. Furthermore, this violates 15 U.S.C 1681 et seq, particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 15 U.S.C 1681j which states that credit reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates and any person who fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this title shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty. Furthermore, this collection account was fraudulently bought and sold, which is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( RFDCPA ), which prohibit the sale or purchase of a debt that the seller or purchaser knows or should know is not legitimate. This also violates the prohibition of any form of deception or fraud under the federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. 1341 ( Mail Fraud ) and 18 U.S.C. 1343 ( Wire Fraud ) I demand that you immediately investigate this matter and take necessary action to remove the illegal collection account from my credit report and also compensate me for my time and effort in disputing it. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, XXXX I am also requesting validation not verification i want to know who was spoken with when and how they have first hand knowledge i need to see the original document as required by law showing i signed for said debt. If they're claiming to have bought said debt i require proof of purchase with the amount paid. If this can not be complied with or removed within 15 days i will be suing for damages and attorney fees. 

the specific accounts i want removed are XXXXXXXX XXXX and out XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX
