Consumer Narrative

On XX/XX/2023 I sent TransUnion a form stating I am a victim of identity theft and requesting specific items be blocked from my credit report. Along with the form I also sent a police report, my drivers license, social security card and my FTC IDENTITY THEFT AFFIDAVIT. According to FCRA 605B once TransUnion receives my identity theft report along with a statement from me and other items that verify my identity, the reported information shall be blocked within 4 business days. Transunion sent me a letter on XXXX XXXX stating my request to block was denied due to my request being made in error. There is no way that transunion can reasonably determine that. I have provided a valid police report and I have satisfied the requirements of a block under FCRA 605B. If transunion does not follow the laws established I will have no chose but to sue them in small claims court for willful non compliance and damages. In addition on XX/XX/2023 I spoke with a representative from Transunion Specialized fraud team who is handling my file. And he claims he must first contact the creditor to confirm if fraud is found. This is not the correct procedure that should be followed. According to FCRA 605B once transunion receives information that a consumer identifies as identity theft, accompanied with verification of the consumers identity and a valid identity theft report Transunion MUST BLOCK the information without referring to the original creditor for validation of fraud. This confirms that TransUnion is not following the FCRA guidelines that are established to help consumers in these troubled times. TransUnion is Violating FEDERAL LAW I have also contacted XXXX about this and they are saying my police report is invalid which is unacceptable.
