Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding fraudulent inquiries that are persistently being reported on my credit report by XXXX. Despite my repeated efforts to resolve this issue, the false information has not been rectified, causing significant frustration and hindering my approval odds for various financial matters. I kindly request the intervention and assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) in investigating and resolving this matter promptly. 

I have diligently followed the proper channels by contacting both the lenders, XXXX and Transunion to remove the fraudulent inquiries. However, despite providing supporting documentation and clearly outlining the fraudulent nature of these inquiries, XXXX and TransUnion has failed to take appropriate action. This has resulted in continued harm to my credit profile, impeding my financial opportunities and causing unnecessary distress. 

I urge the CFPB to conduct a thorough review of my case and exert its authority to ensure that XXXX and Transunion rectifies this situation immediately. The fraudulent inquiries should be promptly removed from my credit report to restore its accuracy and prevent further damage to my creditworthiness.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Equifax Information Services XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Dear Equifax, On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX I submitted a request for investigation under FCRA 611 ( a ) to Equifax regarding the following accounts on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In response , I received a letter stating that the information was " VERIFIED ''. However, I am requesting physical documentation to support how this information was verified, as Equifax has been reporting unverifiable and inaccurate information on my credit report, which has damaged my credit score so bad that I cant even get a credit card or a loan in my name. 

Under federal law, information reporting must be 100 % verifiable and 100 % accurate. As such, I am requesting that Equifax delete this erroneous information from my report. Please do not " update '' or " verify '' this information again without conducting a due diligence investigation. 
I am requesting that Equifax provide me with written contract and physical documentation supporting the information being reported on my credit report via USPS mail, as screenshots and medical statements will not suffice. THIS DEBT IS NOT MINE, and I require verification with my actual signature on a contract. 
I value my credit score, and I believe that it is being unjustly degraded as a result of this unfortunate error. I am not requesting a template response to this letter and require specific answers to the questions asked of Equifax. Please note that I intend to pursue legal action if this matter is not resolved. 
I would like to remind you of Dixon-Rollins v. Experian Information Solutions , inc. ( 2010 ) and Miller v. Equifax Information Services LLC ( 2013  ), where consumers won their case against the bureaus due to their lack of reasonable investigation of the dispute. I trust that Equifax will do the right thing and investigate this matter thoroughly. If you can not provide proof that the debt is valid, I request that you delete the information from my credit report. 
I expect a response within 15 days of receipt of this letter. Failure to do so will result in the permanent expunging of the item in question from my credit report. 
Best regards, XXXX XXXX
