Complaint narrative:
There is a U.S. Bankruptcy Court item on my Transunion credit report. Per the FCRA 623 ( A ) ( 5 ). If the Credit Bureau can not validate the information with the original creditor, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. The U.S. Bankruptcy Courts have mailed me a letter which emphatically stated that they do not provide any information to credit reporting agencies nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is Never validated by U.S. Court System due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency Privacy law. My inquiry to the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts confirmed Transunion has Never validated or verified the public record entity on my credit report neither will they ever be by them. They further stated while they are not liable responsible for any misuse or incorrect public records nor the distribution of said information public records may and often times are reported by third party sources unaware to the consumer and in most cases, incorrectly considering the information indicating a fair credit reporting violation. I need all bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number to be Permanently Deleted from my credit report immediately. The Transunion Credit Agency needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with this public record account bearing either a court order to place this information on my credit report or my authorization of release bearing my signature. In the meantime to be in full compliance with the FCRA laws and guidelines all the information listed under public records needs to be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my name and social security number. Be further advised that I am closely monitoring my credit file. Per the federal law you have exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as outlined per the fair credit reporting act 623 ( A ) ( 3 ). Per the FCRA section 609 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) you are required by federal law to verify through physical verification of the original signed consumer contract and/or judgments all accounts and public information that you post on anyones credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, email, or mail fraudulent and erroneous account information. As such if this unauthorized public record information is not deleted from my credit report with 30 days I will be filing a complaint with the federal trade commission. Failure to respond in a satisfactory manner within 30 days of receipt of this letter will be interrupted as defamination, negligent, enchantment of identity fraud violation of the FCRA. 15 USC 1681b, 15 USC 1681q, 18 USC 1028A, 15 USC 1681c-2
