There are accounts listed on my consumer report that have originated from identity theft. I did not provide written authorization, including a wet signature, for these accounts to be included in my consumer report. I have recently communicated with your organization regarding this matter and I am hereby requesting that these accounts be promptly blocked and removed from my report. The inclusion of these unauthorized items has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately reflect my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action. The presence of these fraudulent items on my credit record has hindered my ability to achieve my financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Complaint:
This is a formal complaint against TransUnion Consumer Solutions located in XXXX, PA. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, TransUnion Consumer Solutions has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of the many, many other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.

Complaint:
MBFS website changed its platform autopay after my lease I was given INCORRECT Instructions on setting up the new autopay protocol. When my autopay lapsed I was not contacted via phone call or voicemail or email to notify me of the late payment. By the time I was finally contacted by phone regarding the issue the payment was already past 30 days late, at which point I paid my account in full. I was assured many times over phone with the MBFS customer service that my account would be resolved and not reported due to my o time payment history - I spent weeks providing records with no receipts on their end by fax. After endless phone calls and faxing that promised this would be removed and removed from record on their end, the claim was denied with no explanation despite my perfect payment history and promises made by CS that this was their fault.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
I called aidvantage on XX/XX/XXXX to request a refund for payments that I made during COVID in the amount of {$1700.00} that was paid in 11 separate payments made in XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX. I talked to XXXX, who was really nice and said it would take 7-10 days for the balance to be reflected on my account and then 4-6 weeks to receive the refund after that. She gave me a confirmation ID XXXX. After 7-10 day mark I notice there were no changes to my aidvantage account so I called again on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with XXXX for an update on my account situation. She reiterated the same spiel and said to wait a couple more weeks then to call back. I checked my account often and did not notice any changes to my account at all and decided to call a third time on XX/XX/XXXX. This time the rep I was talking to made her name inaudible that I couldn't really hear what it was, but basically said to keep waiting. I asked where in the process is my refund at and she couldn't even tell me if it has been approved by aidvantage or the government treasury department and seemed to be responding off of a transcript. I frequent the XXXX forum and saw that there were people who called after XX/XX/XXXX and gotten their refund and account to reflect the refund already so I was confused as to why they seemed to be picking and choosing which accounts were prioritized which is not fair. This is why I am filing a complaint to the CFPB.
