Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NE
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
The philosophy of TransUnion LLC and XXXX seem to be that they allege you owe a debt and the consumer just deals with it or pays debts that are not theirs in order to finally have them removed from a Credit Reporting File. This is a direct violation of Federal Law 15 U.S.C. 1681. 

I also disputed the presence of XXXX XXXX XXXX being listed on my credit reporting file, I have not received documentation from either TransUnion or XXXX XXXX XXXX as requested. I have requested signed documentation authorizing the original account be opened in my name and social security number. No documentation was ever provided by either company. I requested this in order to have the signature compared to years of my signatures to assist in prevention of identity theft and to ensure 100 % accuracy of my credit reporting file. 

I have attached a copy of my dispute letters and every tactic they have used to prevent correcting the bad information, up to and including their claim in one letter that they could not even locate my credit file, as you can see in my dispute letters, they were given their own information to identify my credit file. 

How can a credit reporting agency be trusted to ensure accuracy of the information they are reporting, when they can not even locate a consumer file with their own information and a copy of their own report included with each dispute?

Complaint:
I have 6 synchrony accounts never paid late- never missed a payment- never got a check bounced, been using all my cards and paying them down. 3 days ago they closed all my cards and said it was a Risk of me paying. How did they get the assumption if I never paid late. I am currently working. I pay all my bills on time- mortgage never late- car note never late- I was truly embarrassed when I went to use my card at Lowes and they said my account was closed. This is not how to do business nor how they should conduct business, they could have frozen my accounts for a short time not to use them if that was the case.

State: SC
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX and I began email correspondence to discuss me purchasing a XXXX The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Print Silk Shawl from her. On XX/XX/XXXX, I agreed to purchase the scarf for {$850.00} via XXXX. The {$850.00} consisted of the price she was selling the scarf for, XXXX fee, shipping cost, and insurance cost. 
I sent the {$850.00} to XXXX that day and she shipped the scarf to me the next day, XX/XX/XXXX, and provided me the tracking information. The day after that on XX/XX/XXXX, I found the scarf on XXXX website for almost {$300.00} cheaper. I emailed XXXX and asked her if I could return the scarf to her for a refund since I was able to find the scarf for a much better price. 
She didnt immediately respond to my email so when I received the scarf on XX/XX/XXXX, I shipped it back to her the same day without even opening the box. I emailed her to let her know the scarf was on its back to her and provided her with the tracking number and advised it would be delivered on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked her to please issue the refund. 
It was at that point that she told me all sales final. This was the first time we had discussed any type of cancellation or return policy. I explained to her she would have had to tell me the sale was final before I made the purchase not after. She said she would mail the scarf back to me when she received it and would not be issuing the refund. 
She did send it back and I received it again on XX/XX/XXXX. Once again, I did not open the package and mailed it back to her on the same day. USPS Tracking # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX shows it was delivered to her on XX/XX/XXXX. She has not sent it back. 
I do not have the scarf nor has XXXX agreed to refund my {$850.00}. 
I am enclosing all of our email correspondence, pictures of the package both times I received it and mailed it back, and pictures of shipping confirmations when I mailed it back to her. 

XXXX  CONFIRMS THE MERCHANT ACCEPTED THE RETURN. 

THANK YOU, XXXX XXXX

Product: Checking or savings account

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
On Friday XX/XX/2023 at roughly XXXX XXXX, I deposited a cashier 's check from my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to my account with Bank of America in the amount of {$48000.00} which were proceeds from the sell of my condo in Georgia. 

After the Teller deposited my funds, she then proceeded to show my receipt which placed the majority of my funds ( {$42000.00} ) on HOLD for an additional 5 business days. I asked why and they only said it was what their system provided, and that I could speak to their customer service department for assistance. 

Seeing that I am considered a PREFERRED customer with over XXXX of loyalty to this bank, I thought this issue would be easily rectified, but it wasn't. 

After reading their " deposit/hold '' policy online and the Federal Reserve regulations , I believe I was discriminated against and they gave me no real cause or explanation for extended this hold on my funds. Due to their negligence, I missed the opportunity to make a stock purchase which would have paid me dividends as well as missed out on other plans and purchases.

Complaint:
None of your choices were the correct choices per my problem. My problem is that Equifax dropped my score by XXXX points from XX/XX/2023 to XX/XX/2023, and per their own information that I have included on the attached document, the only change was that my credit card went from {$0.00} to {$150.00}. That is only using 13 % of the credit utilization for that card. It seems to me that has to be a mistake. Equifax does not give you any way to make a dispute with them online so I am going through CFPB instead.
