Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am called Transunion to express my concern regarding the accuracy of my credit report, specifically the listing of outdated and incorrect addresses. Despite my previous disputes, these addresses continue to reappear on my report, marked as " updated '' instead of being deleted. 

I strongly emphasize the importance of maintaining only my current address on my credit report. The presence of incorrect addresses can lead to identity theft, credit fraud, and other serious consequences. It is essential that TransUnion ensures the accuracy and integrity of the information on my credit report. 

I would like to bring to their attention the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which governs the accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. Specifically, Section 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 5 ) ) states that credit reporting agencies must " maintain reasonable procedures designed to ensure that whenever a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of any item of information contained in a consumer 's file, the dispute is recorded and the consumer is provided with a written statement of the results of the reinvestigation. '' Furthermore, Section 609 ( a ) of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ) requires credit reporting agencies to provide consumers with a copy of their credit report, which must include " all information in the consumer 's file at the time of the request. '' In light of these regulations, I request that TransUnion takes immediate action to : 1. Delete all incorrect and outdated addresses from my credit report. 
2. Verify and confirm that only my current address is listed on my credit report. 
3. Provide me with a corrected copy of my credit report, as required by Section 609 ( a ) of the FCRA. 

I previously mailed attached a copy of my identification and proof of address for your reference. 
Please investigate this matter promptly.
