Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IN
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I have several inquiries on all three major credit bureaus that I did not authorize. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX via phone to inquire about their requirements for financing a vehicle and specifically asked if a soft pull could be done just to see if it would be worth applying. The rep assured me that there would be no hit ( hard inquiry ) to my credit. I asked several times and was repeatedly told that there would be no hard inquiry. I then received notification alerts of several inquiries to my credit reports from them as well as a few other financial institutions that they sent my information to all without my consent and the rep blatantly lying to me. I contacted them to have the issue resolved and was told that they would not help me. 

On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) my daughter was shopping for a car at XXXX XXXX XXXX and asked about financing and was told she may need a co-signer. Again, I asked if a soft pull could be initiated just to see if it would be worth trying because I was sure that I would not qualify and did not want to have any more inquiries and again I was lied to and ended up receiving notifications from 8 financial institutions and I wasnt even present again at this dealership. They financed her without the need of a co-signer so I am confused as to why they lied about the soft pull and ran my credit without the need to. I contacted them and was offered nothing more than an apology. 

As I was looking at my report I noticed a couple other inquiries that I did not authorize and I have contacted the companies as well as the credit bureaus and they all have refused to remove them. The following inquires were made without my consent : XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Transunion : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX TXXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: PA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
BOA Credit card reported my account as delinquent to credit reporting agencies in XX/XX/XXXX : I have paid off the full balance every month ( with the few exception there were autopay glitches from their end ). There were never any balance owed. 

XXXX of XXXX, there was a duplicate payment for the full balance ( they took a phone payment and autopay in the same month ). When I found out, I requested one of the payments be posted back to my bank account. So for the months of XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, there was an overpayment ( credit ) on the account so there was no balance due and I could not pay anything to account. I was on autopay for these months. 

The bank decided to credit me back for the duplicate payment in XXXX. Apparently when they did this, they reported me to credit reporting agencies as me being delinquent for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. They backdated the credit back to the original date of payment in XXXX and then said that I did not make the XXXX and XXXX payments ( despite the fact that they had my money in their possession until XXXX ). There would not be possible for me to retroactively pay for the months of XXXX and XXXX ( no balance b/c it was showing a credit to the account ). They also did not let me know that the payment back would result in this. 

When I call Bank of America credit card, they tell me that the situation is " unfortunate '' but the credit report is correct and nothing can be done. 

If nothing else, how can they take my money interest free for three months ( XXXX ) and back date the credit? They will not work with me. They tell me it is the consumer 's obligation to foresee the outcome and they have no reason for full disclosure. 

For the months of XXXX, I have never received any statement due. All those months, the balance was always showing a credit, so autopayment would not have been able to make any payment on the account. They RETROACTIVELY made me delinquent on my account by BACKDATING the credit from the duplicate overpayment. Had they only credited my account in a timely manner for the duplicate payment, all this would have been avoided, too. 

Please help me. I want them to remove the credit delinquency from my account. Thank you.

Complaint:
This makes the 4th time I have tried to get fraudulent information removed from my credit report. I have been victim of identity theft. Equifax refuses to remove the information from my credit report. Instead, they continue to give me the run around, instead of removing the information, they are requesting information regarding my address. I have provided them with this information several times. This is a stall tactic ; I have recently faxed over the requested documents, again. I want the fraudulent information, removed from my credit report and a fraud alert placed on my credit file. However Equifax, despite providing them with police reports and supporting documentation, refuses to remove the accounts, and refuses to place the alert on my credit file. Something that I had little to no problem getting accomplished with XXXX and XXXX.

Complaint:
I applied for a Forbearance with Flagstar Mortgage. My husband passed away and he was the primary income source and applicant on the mortgage. Now that my husband is died I no longer can afford the mortgage. I only get a small social security retirement payment and its not enough to pay the mortgage. I listed the house for sale and simply asking for a forbearance until I sell the house 4-6 months. The mortgage company declined my request. How heartless can they be not to provide a much needed forbearance due to my husbands death. I will never work with Flagstar Mortgage again.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted an employer certification form to Mohela. I have contacted them several times to try to get an updated estimate on when my payment counts will be updated due to a time sensitive issue with a loan repayment program I am participating in. They first told me that my form was not even acknowledge until XX/XX/XXXX and it would be 90 business days after that to get an updated payment count - even though it was marked processed before that date and I received a message on XX/XX/XXXX stated it could be up to 90 business days from XX/XX/XXXX. They are unwilling to be helpful in anyway to give an update on where the form is at in processing and unwilling to be able to expedite anything for a reasonable request. The student loan industry is in obvious upheaval, but over and over and over again we are all being told to wait wait wait and don't ask questions, there's no one else who can help you, etc.
