Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of information regarding a debt collection reported on my credit report. My records and subsequent verification attempts indicate that this debt is no longer with the collection agency listed on my report, and as such, should not be reflected in my credit history. Not only that, the debt that is alleged is not at all owed by me as I legally breached a residential lease agreement, under Texas Property Code Sections 92.056 and 92.0561. I also left notice with the landlord, original creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX. ( See attachments ). Please find the following details relevant to this dispute : Collection Company Reporting on My Credit Report : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Since the day this inaccurate collection account hit my credit report, XXXX, I have reached out to Transunion and the collection company, XXXX regarding the fact that the debt is not owed by me nor is it the least bit accurate. I received mail correspondence from Transunion on XXXX  stating that they are not required to reinvestigate this debt yet they never investigated it to begin with. I mailed all of my correspondence proving this debt is not owed by me and yet this invalidated and inaccurate account is still on my credit report. I've also provided all documentation directly to XXXX XXXX XXXX via mail on XXXX separate occasions and no further action has been taken. I've been getting the complete run around. On XXXX, the 30 day time period had passed from the date I mailed my correspondence to them. And, I still didn't have any notification from them about ceasing all collection efforts and removing the inaccurate collection account from my credit reports as a result of the evidence I'd mailed them. During my call, I was simply told that they can no longer discuss the alleged debt with me because they were no longer collecting it and it had been referred out to another firm. Therefore, its continued presence on my credit report is not only inaccurate but defamation of character and erroneous in nature. Transunion has done me a complete disservice in not properly investigating this debt on my behalf. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am requesting that this item be removed from my credit report immediately as soon as possible since XXXX XXXX XXXX is not the company attempting to collect the debt. Please find attached copies of any documents that support my position. I request a written confirmation of the receipt of this letter within XXXX business days, along with removal of the account from my consumer credit reports. Please inform me of the outcome of your investigation at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
