Complaint narrative:
For over XXXX years, TransUnion has claimed to have verified the accuracy and compliance of my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX under FCRA standards. Despite multiple fraud claims and documented evidence proving the account was fraudulent, TransUnion failed to act, resulting in both financial and emotional distress. Rather than properly investigating or providing financial compensation for their errorsnow totaling XXXX over the past XXXX ignored my disputes until a XXXX who actually reviewed the file acknowledged the negligence and removed the account. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is a clear example of this misconduct. The account, originally with XXXXXXXX XXXX, was falsely reported. XXXX initially stated the debt was both paid in full and sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. However, after XXXX years of disputes, it was proven that XXXX  reporting was inaccurate, leading to its removal. Despite this, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX continued reporting the debt to credit bureaus using my personal information without my consent. They have consistently ignored disputes, operating as a predatory entity attempting to collect on a debt that was never valid. 
Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( FCRA 611 ), XXXX has failed to properly investigate or provide any justification for why fraudulent accounts remain on my report even after their removal from other bureaus. This constitutes a direct violation of my consumer rights under federal law.

Immediate Action Required This dispute has remained unresolved for over two years, despite clear evidence of fraud. Therefore, the following actions must be taken immediately : Permanent deletion of all fraudulent accounts associated with my personal information. 
Written confirmation of the deletions, sent to : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, United States This is not a request for review or modification. My consumer rights have been violated, and I have suffered significant hardship as a result. Failure to comply within 10 days will require a detailed explanation from the assigned XXXX, including full disclosure of the investigative process conducted. Any further negligence or noncompliance with FCRA and CFPB regulations will result in legal action, holding all responsible parties personally accountable for the financial and emotional damages incurred. 
XXXX compliance is expected.

Immediate removal or correction of the inaccurate data.

A written response detailing the results of the investigation.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized accounts appearing on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to have these accounts removed, they persist, causing significant damage to my financial reputation and well-being. The accounts in question are in clear violation of 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes. It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information on my credit report pursuant to 15 U.S.C 1681c-2 and to request that this information be blocked. I have enclosed a copy my Police Report/FTC identity theft report ( FTC REPORT XXXX : XXXX ) to support my identity theft claim. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies must block any information identified by the consumer as resulting from identity theft within four business days.

To following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and should be blocked : ACCOUNT NUMBER ACCOUT DATE OPENED AND FRAUDULENT INQUIRIES : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX As required by 15 U.S.C 1681c-2, please block this fraudulent information from my credit report immediately. This information must be blocked for one year, at which time I can request an extension of the block. During the block, you can not report that it no longer contains any fraudulent information. I have called the bureau several times reporting these fraudulent accounts on my report and Experian has not wanted to give me a solution to this problem where I am being totally affected to be able to acquire my first home for my children, but this problem has made it extremely difficult to achieve, which has caused me significant stress and uncertainty. I am a XXXX woman who has worked diligently and has always fulfilled her responsibilities in this country. It is unfair that this situation prevents me from achieving such an important goal for me and my family. These charges were removed and not verified by other bureaus. I do not understand how they usually say that these accounts are mine, that is why I require that you send me all the documentation to prove that this information is true. I have requested contracts from this company with my data and for more than 60 days I have not received a response from them, please help me delete these accounts immediately. Here I attach the FTC report, hoping that they make a better decision in my situation, thank you.
