Re: Sent a Method of Verification Letter to Transunion

Slows and steady, 

 

google what I'm proposing. What I'm proposing is nothing new and one with any legal knowledge can do this. I found CFPB totally useless.

I sent a (strongly worded) formal complaint to the CFPB today. If that doesn't work I do plan on taking legal action against TransUnion.

Worth a try.  Not sure of the future of the CFPB. Supreme Court case to review if CFCB is unconstitutional.  We will see what happens.

Well the CFPB complant was not successful.  Transunion essentially acknowledged that they violated the FCRA.  wa3more - how did you go about sending your ITS letter?  Any details you can provide would be more than helpful.

Re: Sent a Method of Verification Letter to Transunion

I knew was a long shot, most likely waste of time.

 

I would google Intent to File Suit letter on internet related to CRA's . I can't give out specific legal advice. Talk to a lawyer, maybe one can do this real cheap if it means that much.

 

Good luck.

Re: Sent a Method of Verification Letter to Transunion

Based on the recent Supreme Court decision, I think the CFPB will have less clout going forward.

Re: Sent a Method of Verification Letter to Transunion

Here is the Notice of ITS that I sent to Transunion.  This was a template letter that I thought was very well done.

 

TRANSUNION

Subject: NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE A LAWSUIT

 

To Whom It May Concern,

I am certain you are aware that it is against the law to threaten suit without the intention of doing so. Therefore, be advised that I am very serious about filing a suit against your company.

 

Please accept this Notice of Intent to File a Lawsuit as my final attempt to amicably resolve your continued violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act regarding your refusal to delete the DEROGATORY account(s)/item(s) from my credit report. Your offices have failed to send the legally required validation of item(s) listed in Exhibit E. Also, you have been notified that your actions are detrimental to me and that your firm has violated (including but not limited to) the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq. A copy of this letter, as well as copies of dispute letters sent to you previously, will become part of a lawsuit and shall be used as evidence in pending litigation, provided you fail to comply with this notice. Be advised that I am keeping accurate records of all correspondence regarding this matter.

 

I am sure you are aware of the consequences of violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the multiple violations your company is now responsible for. If not, let me point them out for you:

  1. 1)  Procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information in the consumer report, as required by 15 U.S.C. §1681e(b);

  2. 2)  Procedures in case of disputed accuracy, 15 U.S.C. §1681i. Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information;

  3. 3)  Procedures to obtain consumer credit file pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §1681b;

  4. 4)  Procedures according to 15 U.S.C. §1681g;

  5. 5)  Procedures, as required by 15 U.S.C. §1681(a)(4);

  6. 6)  et seq.

It is my cognizance of the law that you ought to honor each and every request to scrutinize incorrect information, and you seem to have overlooked all of my previous requests. That is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which provides a cause of action for an individual consumer as well as penalties and liabilities for consumer reporting agencies for non-compliance as a violation of its provisions.

Finally, I am sending you a list of the derogatory account(s)/item(s) you need to delete. Please correct this by the removal of this item(s) from my credit report. See. Exhibit E.

 

If you wish to resolve this matter, this will be your last opportunity to do so. The below derogatory account(s)/item(s) must be deleted from my credit file immediately, and you need to forward a confirmation letter to me stating they have been removed and will not reappear on my credit report again. If I get another pointless letter from you saying that account(s)/item(s) has already been "verified" or equivalent answer, and your offices continue reporting invalid/derogatory information on my credit report, then there will be no more opportunity for negotiation. I will not hesitate to start legal, lawful, and administrative actions against your firm as well as the individuals responsible for damages to me. I will proceed in court until I have successfully proven to a judge and jury that false/derogatory information must be removed from my credit report.

 

I sent this notarized letter via certified mail to ensure this matter is resolved within the required thirty (30) days window so as to avoid any violation of the FCRA. If you do not comply with this letter within thirty (30) days time-period then a lawsuit may be filed in the proper jurisdiction seeking monetary damages as well as pursuing all available legal remedies.

 

Thank you and I look forward to resolving this most expeditiously. Please send me a copy of the changed credit report at the earliest.

Sincerely,

XXXXXXXXXXXX

 

***This section (Exhibit E) shows all accounts that I am requesting be deleted with the following disclaimer*** - 

 

IMPORTANT: Please be aware if you fail to comply with my demands for derogatory account(s)/item(s) deletion, I will be filing a lawsuit for multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I believe you know if I sue your company, I can recover “actual damages”, including court costs, attorney’s fees, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and other diminishes of the quality of my life. In the case of truly outrageous behavior, I can recover “punitive damages” meant to punish malicious or willful conduct.
