Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Collector : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account No. XXXX Balance : {$590.00} Collector : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account No. XXXX and XXXX Balance : {$1600.00}, {$600.00} This is a formal complaint against the three national credit bureaus XXXX XXXX, and TransUnion. I have asked them to do a proper investigation and validation of the two accounts above.

For one, I have disputed XXXX XXXX XXXX with the credit bureaus since last year, for some reason none of the three reporting agencies could provide sufficient and legitimate proof of the documents I have requested as my reference in order to substantiate their claim. The date of last activity is still reporting inconsistently in all three bureaus, XXXX  is reporting XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX  is reporting XX/XX/XXXX, while TransUnion is reporting XX/XX/XXXX. How can this be when all of them should verify and validate this information from the same furnisher or source? 


The other collection account that is reported is the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I'm not understanding why there are two accounts with different balances. The dispute status of this account to my credit report is also reporting inconsistently in two credit bureaus. XXXX  shows " Account not disputed '' while XXXX  shows " Account disputed ''. There is only one source of information, which is the original creditor of this alleged account. It appears no creditor investigation was actually done.

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing an alleged bankruptcy that is reporting on my transunion credit file.

Also I was informed by Transunion that this alleged bankruptcy was information received from a third party which is XXXX. That also I a violation. According to the FCRA all information furnished is to be completely investigated before being furnished by the credit reporting agency and not received by a third party. I have documentation that XXXX have deleted the information from their files because they realized they was in violation. If Transunion got their information from XXXX which was deleted then Transunion also need to delete it from the files.
