Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
A collection agency has put derogatory information on my credit report. 

I have never had credit with this agency, how is it they are allowed to make a derogatory mark on there? 

In addition, the creditor they are representing never reported me to the bureaus when I was current, how is it they can do it now when I am behind? 

This is false and misleading. It does not give a true picture of my credit history with this company. They are using this as a tool to get paid, plain and simple. 

If the positive has never been reported, how can the negative be reported?

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX my car needed repair so I took it to XXXX XXXX XXXX and they charged me {$2800.00} for repair when car was picked up XX/XX/XXXX. The technician told me I could make payments so in order to pick up car I needed to pay XXXX that would leave a balance of {$2500.00}. I have made payments of {$3200.00}. I got a call today that I still owe {$2800.00} that I was in a lease for my repair bill with XXXX XXXX XXXX and the company that is collecting is Monterey Financial. I was not aware that I was in a lease for a car repair. I thought I was making payments for the repairs and now am being told that I am in a lease and if I do not pay the additional {$2800.00} that legal action would be taken. I have received messages at my work and on my cell phone from this collection company. I would like to have this resolved. I have paid the amount of the repair and do not plan on making any additional payments. I feel like I have been taken advantage of this is a high interest lease that I was not aware of. I did not sign a lease and would like this resolved and closed out. I do not feel that I should need to pay any more than the repairs.

State: PA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2017 I put a credit freeze on Experian, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I made note of the PIN numbers but did not have a PIN number for Experian. My husband and I are refinancing our mortgage and I was able to temporarily unfreeze on XXXX and XXXX. When I tried to unfreeze on Experian both by phone and online, it did not recognize my information. My only recourse is to request by mail, which will take too long and potentially jeopardize the refinance. I was not able to reach a customer service person to help me resolve this. My complaint is that with time sensitive issues like this, the consumer should not have to wait for a mail request to be processed. These companies, which we have no control over, should have a way for customers to reach an actual person. Is there any way for a consumer to opt out of these reporting agencies? Is there any recourse or penalty for this company for not providing appropriate consumer service? Are we simply at the mercy of these companies?

This complaint is about the 3 bureaus that have been disregarding my disputes for several months now.
