Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Alabama XXXX Dear TransUnion, I am writing to assert my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in response to the inclusion of an inaccurate and unverifiable tradeline on my credit report. The tradeline in question pertains to an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a company with which I have never had any business relationship. 

This erroneous entry on my credit report not only violates the FCRA but also contravenes consumer protection laws, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692c and 18 U.S.C. 1028 ( a ), which explicitly prohibit the inclusion of unverifiable information and information obtained through aggravated identity theft on consumer reports. 

I wish to emphasize that I have never engaged in any transactions with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor do I possess any knowledge of how they obtained my personal information. The presence of this unverifiable and inaccurate information on my credit report has severely hindered my ability to access credit and other financial services. 

In accordance with my rights under the FCRA, I demand that TransUnion promptly initiate an investigation into this matter and expeditiously remove the inaccurate tradeline from my credit report. I require documentation verifying the information attributed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX within 30 days of the receipt of this letter. Should TransUnion fail to verify the accuracy of this information, it must be promptly removed from my credit report. 

It is imperative to note that I have previously requested verification from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, who provided only copies of bills, failing to furnish the original application and the original address associated with the application at the time of submission. Furthermore, I have been a victim of identity theft and have duly informed all four consumer reporting agencies of this fact. 

Given the repeated disputes I have lodged regarding this account and the failure to provide adequate verification, I insist that TransUnion remove this account from my credit report within 15 days. Failure to comply with this demand will compel me to pursue legal recourse, including seeking putative damages for the violations stemming from the inaccurate reporting of this tradeline on my consumer report. 

I anticipate your prompt attention to this matter and a timely resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
