Hello! As many of you know, I joined Junum last month. Since I joined, I have questioned whether or not they have sent disputes on my behalf. Well, today in the mail, I received a confirmation letter from Trans Union stating that the dispute has been received and that the investigation should be complete in 30 days. I should receive an updated report on June 17. Keep your fingers crossed!
The letter doesn't say how many items they disputed for me. I can't even see that on the junum website because I sent them a merged report. I did not get the credit repair company letter from Trans Union.
That is interesting. THe other thing that I find intriguing is the fact that the last time I sent dispuutes to TU, they told me that they forwarded my dispute to the branch closest to me and that the branch would have to handle my disputes from now on. Well, I'm guessing that Junum didn't know that and sent the disputes directly to TU headquarters. I didn't get that letter this time, only that they would be done in 30 days from May 3. Oh well, I'll just have to wait and see.
Well, when I got my copy of the TU report with the dispute results it said to send all future disputes to a local Las Vegas office. But the original confirmation letter I got from TU didn't say they were forwarding the disputes there. The other odd thing with TU is that they gave themselves until 5-18 to finish investigations, but actually finished more than a week earlier.

Thank you Trans Union Consumer Relations 800-916-8800 These retyped letters have spared you the yelling that TU does when it writes its form letters. Nowhere does it state what has been disputed, and they forget quickly, I guess. If this helps you, DaveLV...
I wonder if the reason they are "owned" by the NY office is because of the lower reporting time NY allows. Thanks for posting those.
I'm not sure if that is the reason. But wouldn't TU have forwarded the new disputes to the local bureau if that is the case? Maybe they are just doing it with some and not others. Wonder what is going on????
