Complaint narrative:
I have sent XXXX letters requesting corrective action. The last letter TransUnion informed me that they have no obligation to further investigate my claim. My claim is that they clearly violated the law and I am now seeking {$5000.00} in damages. 

Letter After reviewing my credit report, I noticed that there is a U.S. Bankruptcy Court items listed on my credit reports. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If TransUnion can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. 
The original creditor in this case would be the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, The Bankruptcy courts mailed me a letter stating that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. 


XXXX has provided documentation that it could not validate this public record information. 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 the Recorder of Deed nor the U.S. Court system due to Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. 
You, TransUnion, ARE BREAKING THE LAW AND ARE COMMITTING FRAUD AS YOU NEVER validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report which is a violation of 15 USC 1681a ( e ). An investigative consumer report is when any portion of which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 
You are also violating 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) considering you do NOT have my consent to furnish any information. 
Per 15 USC 1681c ( a ) Bankruptcy information is Excluded from the consumers report. 


You, TransUnion and your fraudulent activity and continuous violations are causing me great injury as you are preventing me from receiving credit to support and sustain my family. 
I need the bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately. 
As such, if this unauthorized public record information is not deleted from my credit report within the next 30 days, I will be filing a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 
Failure to respond in a satisfactory manner within 30 days of receipt of this certified letter will result in a small claims action against your company. 
I will be seeking no less than {$5000.00} in damages for, but not limited to : XXXX ) Defamation ; XXXX ) Negligent Enhancement of Identity Fraud ; XXXX ) Violation of the fair Credit reporting Act and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
