Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to address the persistent issue of inaccurate derogatory items and charge-offs reported on my credit profile by Trans Union XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Despite my efforts to resolve these inaccuracies directly with the credit bureau, they have failed to correct or remove the erroneous information. My credit profile includes several charge-offs that are being inaccurately reported. These accounts are either not my responsibility or have been settled but remain incorrectly listed as charge-offs. There are additional derogatory marks on my credit profile that are outdated or unverifiable. These items have unfairly impacted my creditworthiness, livelihood and overall financial standing. I have previously disputed these inaccuracies with Trans Union, providing supporting documentation to substantiate my claims. Despite my disputes, the derogatory items and charge-offs remain on my profile, indicating a failure to properly investigate and correct the inaccuracies as required by law. 15 U.S.C. 1681i - Procedure in Case of Disputed Accuracy : Under this section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed information and correct or delete any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. 15 U.S.C. 1681c - Requirements Relating to Information Contained in Consumer Reports : This law stipulates the types of information that can not be included in consumer reports beyond certain time limits.

My efforts to rectify my credit profile inaccuracies demonstrate my good faith and honest conduct, warranting equitable relief. The principle of subrogation allows me to step into the shoes of the creditor to rectify any inaccuracies. In this complaint I have provided a few federal cases to support my claims.
