Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Transunion for failing to conduct a proper investigation into my disputes and instead accusing me of using an unauthorized third party to submit my requests. I mailed a dispute letter to Transunion, disputing inaccurate personal information and accounts on my credit report. I made sure to include copies of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address to verify my identity. 

On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a letter to Transunion ( USPS certified mail tracking number XXXX ). However, Transunion refused to conduct an investigation. On XX/XX/year>, I received a letter from Transunion stating : " 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. '' This response is unacceptable and violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to the FCRA, when a consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of the information in their credit file, the credit bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to verify the information. Transunions failure to fulfill this obligation is a direct violation of the FCRA.
