Complaint narrative:
Previously I requested an investigation regarding inaccurate/erroneous items on my credit file that were being reported erroneously. On XX/XX/2023 the agency sent a letter stating that you had completed your investigation and these items were not deleted, as requested. 
I requested specific information as proof of ownership of debt, and did not receive that information, nor the methods used for verification, merely a copy of my credit report showing the items verified, no change or updated. 

I contend that these accounts are inaccurate, as transunion has provided no proof of their initial investigation as requested previously, and I requested a thorough re- investigation into its validity and immediate removal from my credit report in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and its relevant provisions.

I hereby request that TransUnion conducts a thorough re-investigation into the accuracy of these accounts. This re-investigation must include contacting the furnisher of this information to ensure the account 's validity. In accordance with Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) of the FCRA, I expect this investigation to be completed within 15 days and for the results to be communicated to me promptly. 

Please provide me with all of the information you used for your investigation, as required by FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Showing how these items were verified, and what information you were given to come to that conclusion Failure to comply with the FCRA 's requirements may lead to legal actions to protect my rights under this legislation. I trust that TransUnion will fulfill its obligations and promptly rectify this matter. 

I asked that they Please reply within 15 days with a complete copy of my credit report via US Mail or delete the negative items, as originally requested.
