Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against TransUnion regarding the illegal reporting of collections on my credit report. The collections that TransUnion has reported are inaccurate, outdated, and can not be verified. As a result, I have been denied credit and other opportunities. 

The accounts that must be removed are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TransUnion is in violation of multiple sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including but not limited to : Section 604, which requires credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) to provide consumers with a copy of their credit report upon request. It also requires CRAs to disclose to consumers the sources of the information in their credit reports.

Section 609, which requires CRAs to provide consumers with a notice of their rights under the FCRA when they receive a copy of their credit report. The notice must include information about the consumer 's right to dispute errors in their credit report and to request a credit score.

Section 611, which requires CRAs to investigate consumer disputes and to correct or delete inaccurate or incomplete information in their credit reports. It also requires CRAs to reinvestigate disputes if the consumer provides new information.

Section 615, which requires CRAs to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information in credit reports. It also sets out the conditions under which CRAs may furnish credit reports to third parties.

Section 623, which includes subsections ( a ) ( 1 ), ( a ) ( 2 ), ( b ), and ( c ). These subsections require CRAs to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information in their credit reports, require furnishers of credit information to provide complete and accurate information to CRAs, require CRAs to reinvestigate consumer disputes if the consumer provides new information, and require CRAs to delete information that is outdated, incorrect, or can not be verified.

I have attempted to dispute the inaccurate collections with TransUnion, but my disputes have been either ignored or rejected without proper investigation. TransUnion 's failure to comply with the FCRA has caused me financial harm and has damaged my credit score.

I am requesting that TransUnion immediately remove the inaccurate collections from my credit report and take all necessary steps to ensure that they are not reported again in the future. Additionally, I am requesting that TransUnion provide me with a free copy of my updated credit report.

If TransUnion fails to comply with this request, I will be forced to consider legal action to seek damages, as well as attorneys ' fees and costs, for their violation of the FCRA. I XXXX also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and other relevant regulatory agencies. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
