Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding their failure to address the inaccuracies on my credit report and incorrect personal information, despite my efforts to rectify the situation. 

On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to TransUnion, requesting an investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report and disputing incorrect personal information. These inaccuracies and incorrect personal details have adversely affected my financial standing and credibility. 

I made sure to include a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and recent bill with my current address to help TransUnion verify my identity and address. 

I received a response back from TransUnion dated XX/XX/year>, stating the following : We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. According to the FCRA, if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a credit bureau is disputed by the consumer, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. 

In addition, On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter again to TransUnion, requesting an investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report and disputing incorrect personal information. But despite my efforts to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) guidelines and provide all necessary information, TransUnion has failed to acknowledge or act upon my dispute within the legally mandated timeframe. I did not receive a response back from TransUnion with the investigation results. 

I have taken significant care to ensure the accuracy of my credit report and to protect my financial reputation. However, TransUnion 's failure to respond appropriately has caused unwarranted stress and financial implications for me. 


It appears that TransUnion has violated my consumer rights by not conducting a reasonable investigation upon receipt of my dispute, which they are required to do in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 


I am seeking prompt intervention from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to compel TransUnion to conduct a thorough investigation into the disputed items and incorrect personal information on my credit report and to take necessary corrective action as per the FCRA guidelines. 

I am including a copy of my dispute letter sent to TransUnion, and proof of delivery, along with TransUnions response as proof.
