However, if they fail to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the items which are erroneous and unverified.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against TransUnion regarding their failure to address the inaccuracies on my credit report, despite my documented attempts to rectify the situation. 

On XX/XX/2023, I sent a letter to TransUnion, requesting an investigation into the inaccurate items on my credit report. These inaccuracies have adversely affected my financial standing and credibility. In addition, I disputed incorrect personal information listed on my credit report. Despite providing all necessary information and following the procedures outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), TransUnion has neglected to acknowledge or act upon my dispute within the legally mandated timeframe. I have taken considerable care to ensure the accuracy of my credit report and to safeguard my financial reputation. However, TransUnion 's failure to respond appropriately has resulted in unwarranted stress and financial implications for me. I am seeking prompt intervention from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to compel TransUnion to conduct a thorough investigation into the disputed items on my credit report and to take necessary corrective action as per the FCRA guidelines. 

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/2023 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. 

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. 

Enclosed with this complaint are copies of all relevant documentation, including the a copy of my original dispute letter to TransUnion and the response I have received from them.
