I recently reviewed a copy of my credit report and noticed several inaccuracies in my account. This account is hurting my ability to obtain credit. This account was charged off on the following dates : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Since then the account has repeatedly been updated as charge off every month. This is an update in the payment history. A charge off account should NOT include an active payments history. This inaccurate information falsely manipulates the states of limitations of Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its is my understanding that you reinvestigate this account properly and see its violated my rights. I am demanding a deletion of the following account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
