Transunion mailing address dispute

A TransUnion mailing address dispute can be frustrating and time-consuming to resolve. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process:

What to do if you receive a dispute letter from TransUnion:

  1. Verify the information: Check the letter to ensure that the mailing address listed is indeed incorrect. If it's not, you can ignore the letter and move on.
  2. Gather supporting documents: Collect any relevant documents that prove your correct mailing address, such as:
    • Utility bills
    • Bank statements
    • Lease agreements
    • Government-issued ID
  3. Contact TransUnion: Reach out to TransUnion's Dispute Resolution Department by phone or mail:
    • Phone: 1-800-916-8800 (Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM CT)
    • Mail: TransUnion Dispute Resolution Department, P.O. Box 2000, Chester, PA 19022-2000
  4. Submit your dispute: Provide the required documentation and a clear explanation of the issue. You can also submit your dispute online through TransUnion's website.

What to expect during the dispute process:

  1. Initial review: TransUnion will review your dispute and verify the information you provided.
  2. Investigation: If the dispute is deemed valid, TransUnion will investigate the issue and may request additional documentation.
  3. Resolution: If the dispute is resolved in your favor, TransUnion will update your mailing address and notify the relevant parties.
  4. Follow-up: If the dispute is not resolved, you may need to follow up with TransUnion to ensure the issue is resolved.

Tips to help resolve the dispute:

  1. Be patient: The dispute process can take several weeks to several months to resolve.
  2. Keep records: Keep a record of all correspondence, including dates, times, and details of conversations with TransUnion.
  3. Verify updates: After the dispute is resolved, verify that your mailing address has been updated by checking your credit report or contacting TransUnion.
  4. Consider a credit freeze: If you're concerned about identity theft or fraud, consider placing a credit freeze on your account to prevent unauthorized access.

Remember to stay calm and persistent during the dispute process. If you're unable to resolve the issue with TransUnion, you may want to consider seeking assistance from a consumer protection agency or a credit counselor.
