I would suggest you gather your dispute letters to Trans Union, along with each of their responses and consult with one of them. Go to www.naca.net for a list of seasoned professionals in your area. Most advocates will provide an initial consultation without cost or obligation.
   
   In short, if Trans Union has continued to report false and derogatory information after a valid dispute by you, you may be entitled to damages under the FCRA. Good luck to you!

   Reporting and complaints about reporting under the fair credit reporting laws, are geared more to removing inaccurate or untimely information, rather than loading up all available details and information.
   
   You can attempt to add additional information, by objecting to the report as stated, and adding your own written explanation or statement, generally limited to 100 words or so.
