Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against TransUnion for its blatant and ongoing misreporting of a false collection account allegedly from XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$2300.00}, supposedly placed with XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I have obtained official written documentation directly from XXXX XXXX XXXX, confirming that no such account exists under my name, and that they are not handling any XXXX XXXX debt on my behalf. They have stated that they will request the credit bureaus to delete the account. Equifax has already removed this account, and Experian never reported it. 

Despite this clear and verifiable evidence, TransUnion continues to report this invalid account and has claimed to verify its accuracy without actually performing a proper investigation. This is not only unacceptable it is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain accurate records and conduct thorough investigations of disputed information. 

I am demanding the immediate and permanent removal of this false XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account XXXX my TransUnion credit report. I have attached the relevant letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX for your review. There should be absolutely no question that this is an error. 

TransUnions continued refusal to correct this record even after receiving definitive proof reflects willful negligence and a disregard for my consumer rights. I am requesting that the CFPB intervene immediately and hold TransUnion accountable for its failure to uphold its legal responsibilities.

Complaint narrative:
DEAR CFPB TEAM : I am writing to dispute fraudulent information on my credit report pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and to request that this information be blocked immediately. Enclosed is a copy of my Police Report and FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ) to support my identity theft claim. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, once a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified as resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and should be blocked : Fraudulent Accounts to Be Removed : XXXX ACCOUNT DETAILS : ACCOUNT NAME : XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT NUMBER : XXXX DATE OPENED : XX/XX/XXXX BALANCE OWED : {$0.00} Fraudulent Inquiries to Be Removed : XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX As required by law, this fraudulent information should be blocked for at least one year, after which I may request an extension of the block. During this time, you may not report this information on my credit file or indicate that my report contains any fraudulent data.

I have contacted the Equifax, on several occasions to report these fraudulent accounts, yet I have not received any resolution. This situation is seriously affecting my ability to qualify for a new home for my children. These same accounts were deleted and not verified by other credit bureaus, which raises serious questions about their legitimacy. 
I have also requested verification and contract documentation from the companies reporting these accounts, and more than 60 days have passed without any response. Therefore, I am requesting immediate action. 
Enclosed is my FTC Identity Theft Report. I respectfully request that you make a fair and just decision regarding my situation. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
