XX/XX/XXXX I wrote to TransUnion to complain that they were inaccurately reporting the age of my credit history, specifically the age of my XXXX XXXX credit card account XXXX formerly an XXXX Bank XXXX account until XXXX bought Bank XXXX ). I received a response today which addressed only the history of my XXXX XXXX account, which was not in dispute. I then called TransUnion to try to provide additional information, specifically that I could prove that the XXXX credit account had been open for at least 11 years, and probably longer. ( I am waiting for verification from XXXX as to the exact date, but I have statements dating back to XX/XX/XXXX ) I spoke to a customer service representative named XXXX, who told me that while I had had several XXXX accounts over the years, each XXXX had been closed at my request. I told him that that information was incorrect, and reiterated what I had written earlier : '' The problem appears to originate with the fact that XXXX assigns a new account number at least every three years. XXXX XXXX probably does as well. In recent years, new XXXX account numbers have been assigned with even more frequency after hacking breaches were discovered at stores such as Target and Home Depot. I have no control over such account number reassignments, but it has always been the same account. 
I realize that this request may be of little importance to TransUnion. But I am annoyed by the fact that, after a lifetime of prudent financial management, my credit score is n't perfect. Would you please, therefore, take steps to correct your records? " XXXX response was far from satisfactory, even after I went into greater detail as to how, even when the account numbers were changed, pending charges and my XXXX rewards credits were carried forward to the new account number. He emphatically stated again that I had closed each account, and that TransUnion would do nothing to further investigate the matter. 

Other than frustration at not being able to change my score to a near-perfect rating ( according to XXXX, my TransUnion score as of today is XXXX ), this problem does not have any particularly negative impact upon me. But XXXX people who apply for car loans, mortgages and credit cards have their interest rates determined in large part by their credit ratings. It strikes me that credit reporting agencies such as TransUnion may very well be colluding with banks to intentionally lower credit scores in order that banks can justify the imposition of higher interest rates. 

Thank you for any help you may be able to offer concerning this problem.
