Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the recent update to my TransUnion credit report on XX/XX/year>, regarding the XXXX XXXX XXXX collections account and requesting a re-investigation of all reported details. The original creditor, listed as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a XXXX balance on my XXXX credit report, as of XX/XX/year>, with the account marked as closed and transferred. This raises significant concerns about the legitimacy of the XXXX XXXX XXXX collections account being reported on my TransUnion credit report, with a balance of {$1400.00}. Under FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are required to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Since XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reports a XXXX balance and closed the account, there is no valid reason for XXXX XXXX XXXX to be reporting a balance of {$1400.00}. Therefore, I am requesting proof of assignment or transfer of the debt from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX, as well as valid documentation verifying their legal right to collect on this account. Without such documentation, this reporting violates FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), which requires that only accurate and verifiable information be furnished by collection agencies. I also dispute the remarks stating " Account information disputed by consumer, meets FCRA requirements, '' as I have successfully disputed this account with XXXX and XXXX, leading to its removal from both reports. These remarks are misleading, and I request they be removed in compliance with FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2. I request a thorough re-investigation of all account details, including the balance, original creditor information, collection status, and remarks. Please provide written confirmation of the results of your investigation, along with proof of assignment or transfer of the debt from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX. If the debt can not be verified, the XXXX XXXX XXXX account should be removed from my TransUnion credit report.
