Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute fraudulent information listed on my credit report, pursuant to my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request the immediate block and removal of this information. For evidence, I have attached a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ). 
As stipulated by 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, upon the filing of an identity theft report, consumer reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as stemming from the theft within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 
The following items on my report are a direct result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX CARD - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX In compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that these accounts be immediately frozen on my credit report. This block must remain in effect for a period of no less than XXXX year, subject to extension, and during this time, no information related to these fraudulent accounts may be reported.

I have previously contacted the bureau on multiple occasions regarding these accounts, yet the matter remains unresolved. The continued presence of these inaccurate items is causing significant personal and financial hardship by obstructing my ability to secure financing for a home and other essential financial tools. Furthermore, these specific accounts have already been removed by other major credit bureaus after failing verification, which underscores the inaccuracy of their reporting. 
In accordance with my rights, I also requested verification documents and contract copies from the furnishing companies for these accounts. After the legally permissible period has elapsed ( over 60 days ), I have received no response. Given the lack of verification and their fraudulent nature, I respectfully urge you to facilitate the immediate and permanent removal of these accounts from my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.
