Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Dear TransUnion, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the information reported on my credit report regarding an account with XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX XXXX ). The account number ends in XXXX, and it was opened on XX/XX/2020, and closed on XX/XX/2020. Below are specific errors I would like investigated and corrected : Double Reporting & Sale of Account : The account is reported as charged off with a balance of {$0.00} but still shows a high balance of {$990.00}. The report also indicates that the account was purchased by another lender. Reporting the same debt twice violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 605. 

Inaccurate Remarks & Balance : The remarks indicate both " unpaid balance charged off '' and " purchased by another lender, '' which can lead to confusion in interpreting this account status. I request that TransUnion verify these remarks for accuracy and clarity, particularly because the balance is listed as {$0.00}, but the high balance indicates a previous balance of {$990.00}. The inconsistent information should be corrected to prevent further damage to my creditworthiness. 

Dispute of Credit Limit Impact : The original credit limit on this account was {$500.00}, but the high balance reached {$990.00} before the charge-off. I request that this discrepancy be reviewed and updated to reflect more accurate information regarding the accounts credit usage and closure process. 

Please review this account thoroughly and remove this account from my credit profile if information if found inaccurate. If the information is verified as correct, I request that you provide me with the documentation used to verify the charge-off, balance, and transfer of this account to a new lender. 

I appreciate your time and prompt attention to this matter. Please respond within the XXXX investigation period as mandated by law.
