Trans Union considers NEW disputes “additional information” and extends investigation by 15 days
I generally recommend submitting ALL disputes in the same letter. But a client received new information about a collection after he had just mailed his initial disputes and he submitted a 2nd dispute for an account NOT disputed in the first mailing.
Trans Union promptly mailed him a notice stating that they would extend the investigation of the first disputes by 15 days.
Since the 2nd mailing had NOTHING to do with the first disputes, this is of course a violation of the FCRA because the 2nd dispute was not “additional documentation”, it was a new dispute.
It is so frustrating to see on a daily basis how the credit bureaus can maliciously and with impunity report INCORRECT information longer and longer.
Who will stop them? Who is TRYING to stop them?
Is there ANYONE aside from me?
