Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
Today, using my home computer, I attempted to request an annual free copy of my credit report from each credit monitoring company - XXXX, XXXX   and TransUnion. So my first step was to log into XXXX  's webpage which in turn routed me to " XXXX ''. I was given the option of selecting all three credit monitoring companies, once I was on the web screen for XXXX XXXX - for which I selected all three. While I was able to view and print a copy of XXXX  's credit report I was not so fortunate with XXXX  nor TransUnion. Upon completing the XXXX  segment the software skipped right over XXXX and went directly to TransUnion. After the TransUnion credit report was pulled up, and before I'd had an opportunity to review it on screen, while I was trying to figure out how to print a copy of the TransUnion credit report I was kicked out of the system with no apparent way back into XXXX

Company: Army and Air Force Exchange Service
State: HI
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
The XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) web-site used for managing and scheduling online payments has been and continues to show false information that lead to confusion and ultimately to some of my scheduled payments being late. The initial reason is that they simply don't process payments on the dates that you actually schedule them. So when they do eventually ( 5+ business days ) process  scheduled payments, in my case the funds were no longer available in my checking account. 

The next problem and my biggest issue is that their web-site still shows these scheduled payments as " Posted '' which is misleading and inaccurate because in the end the payments were not actually cleared and processed. This misinformation on their web-site directly resulted in my not catching the issue in-time to prevent a 30+ day late payment. It wasn't until I noticed the minimum monthly payment amounts were literally doubling month over month that I researched the issue, looking over bank statements, etc. and identified this major issue with their web-site. Even their automated phone systems provided the same ( false ) information when I first called to inquire. 

I've been in contact with a " Disputes Team '' since XX/XX/2019 about the matter, who are only available for contact via email. I've requested that they acknowledge this issue with their web-site as a contributing factor to my payments being late and remove the hit to my credit report but they refuse to accept any responsibility. 

Since identifying the issue, I've brought my account current by scheduling payments through my own bank 's " Bill Pay '' system to ensure timely payments, which has worked perfectly. Unlike the XXXX web-site, my bank actually processes the payment on the day I schedule it so I don't have to worry about balancing my checkbook on a daily basis just for this one particular vendor that takes an exceedingly longer time than any other merchant to process a scheduled payment.

Company: RIA FINANCIAL
State: IL
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
Transferred money to my son using XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX   from my XXXX XXXX account for pick up at any XXXX in FL. I live in XXXX. The transfer was confirmed and available, but when he went to pick it up, XXXX would not release the funds. they required me to call Ria to clear up a compliance problem. Ria 's system showed no problem, but their customer service team ( after many calls to get a live person ) suggested I cancel that transaction and send another one. So I did. The second one also went through, but it was held in compliance. I was variously told by several staff members, the cancellation of # 2 transaction was due to a high rate of consumer fraud in XXXX, that there was an unidentified problem with my transaction, that there was some type of issue with XXXX XXXX. 

Repeated questioning of several staff members of Ria proved useless as they were not going to tell me what was wrong with me, or my transaction, or why they sold me 2 transactions into a region that was blocked from all transactions. The lack of honesty, and transparency was appalling. Eventually, after more than an hour on the phone I was able to get my money refunded, but I could not get my son the cash he NEEDED because for the entire day I was told this transfer was fine, only to realize after the fact that it had been blocked, for a reason that no one at Ria will explain.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL
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:
To Whom It May Concern : Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act have previously sent Equifax a request to investigate an alleged debt by On Line Information Services on my credit report Equifax simply replied that the account is verified but did not provide the validation to me that was needed to determine if this was actually an accurate claim. I then personally contacted the Collection Agency XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   and asked for valid verification that this debt was mine. I knew I didnt miss a payment to the power company, for obvious reasons they are always the first bill I pay. All I received from the Collection Agency were term dates of XXXX XXXX spanning back from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX and the alleged charges they claimed I owed {$170.00}. They had nothing to show me that could verify I owe anything. After a bit of research, it was determined that this does not meet the Federal Trade Commissions guidelines of what constitutes proper debt validation. This inaccurate, incomplete document contains no accounting of any payments made nor missed, nor the dates on which those payments were made or missed. There isnt even any documentation with my signature on it that proves this is even my account at all. This information could have easily been drawn up and sent by anyone or simply created in human error. Their verification document in no way provides sufficient verification of this alleged debt. There isnt any legitimate, verifiable proof that I owe anything to their Company, because I dont. 

This collection on my credit reports are causing me severe problems in trying to purchase a home and the damage could lead into the $ XXXX. You should also be aware that reporting such invalidated information might constitute defamation of character, as the negative marks on my credit report harm my credit and prevent me from enjoying all the benefits of good credit. In addition, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) does not allow the inaccurate reporting of information on my credit report and under this act. Therefore, if you do not immediately remove this account from my credit report, you are subject to another {$1000.00} FCRA violation fine, plus punitive damages. I'm sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request could put your company in serious legal trouble with the FTC and other state or federal agencies. 

I intend to follow through with the suit if this is not deleted from my account within 15 days. 

Sincerely,

Company: Dynamic Recovery Solutions, LLC
State: NY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint:
Received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from Dynamic Recovery Solutions,XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , SC XXXX   who represents XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   regarding a XXXX XXXX credit card debt I had no knowledge of and that was expired since it was, according to their letter, from XX/XX/XXXX. The letter indicated that " this is an attempt to collect a debit by a debt collector and any information obtained would be used for that purpose ''. I responded as indicated I must do within 30 days to dispute the validity of the debt. Today, I've ordered my free credit reports to see if they have impacted my credit. They also indicated that even if the statute of limitation for suing me to collect the debt may have expired if " the creditor sues you to collect on this debt, you may be able to prevent the creditor from obtaining a judgment against you ''. This is a scare tactic by this company to try to force me into the payment plan they offered in the letter and, to admit that this debt is my debt so they can reset the timing for the debt in the CREDITOR 's favor and continue their deceptive collection procedures. This is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act,15 U.S.C. and these types of collection companies that buy junk debt and threaten the public should be banned from being in operation in the U.S.A.

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:
I am disturbed that XXXX, Transunion and XXXX continue to list the dismissed bankruptcy as confirmed within my credit files. Although it is your policy to keep reporting bankruptcies that are filed, dismissed, or adjudicated for XXXX years, the Fair credit Reporting Act mentions nothing in Section XXXX relating to bankruptcy about dismissals or filings. The law clearly states from date of adjudication or date of order of relief. 
Any case, civil or otherwise, which is dismissed no longer exists in the eye of the law and a case filed XXXX never have been adjudicated. Therefore, you have no right to maintain information which the government has deemed nonexistent. 
Therefore, pursuant to Section XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) of the FCRA, you must delete this information from my credit report and send me an updated copy when this action is completed. 
Considering that this does not require an investigation, I would appreciate your response within XXXX calendar days from receipt of this letter.

Complaint:
I am a XXXX year old XXXX individual receiving social security XXXX. I attempted to take advantage of a program within Medicare/XXXX  called XXXX XXXX that allows individuals to attend health centers free of charge from my health insurance. The facility called XXXX XXXX  is located in XXXX XXXX, Florida. 

While signing up for for XXXX XXXX  one of the managers offered me to join a separate fitness program that would help with my XXXX in my XXXX and XXXX. The plan consisted eight sessions a month for a hour a session totaling eight sessions a month which would cost {$150.00} per month. He also said that it wasn't contract and i could stop whenever i wanted. So i decided to sign up thinking that If i didn't see any meaningful progress I could just stop. 

After giving him my Capital one credit card and swipped it he then informed me I was responsible for three months of sessions at {$150.00} per month. I protested and that he said the program was not a contract and I could stop anytime. He refused to cancelled the fraudulent agreement. 

Immediaately I called Capital one to cancel the credit card payment.The representative at Capital one asked me if the contract agreement say that I had thirty days to cancel. I read the agreement it did state that i had thirty days to cancel.. The Capital one rep. said there was nothing else I needed to do but just wait for my credit care to be credit back the $ XXXX.About a later Capital one sent me a letter swhich i have in my possession, saying the 1 {$150.00} was credited bak to my card. 

About a month later Capital one sent me another notice stating the {$150.00} was reapplied back to the merchant an an additional {$300.00} would be credited to the merchant because, " the merchant provided other information that ruled in the merchants favor., When I asked Capital one to provide me with the " other information '' they tell me anything concrete and I was referred to to an 17 page  document they sent me telling me nothing. 

I feel I am a victim of deception, misrepresentation, and fraud by both Capital one ad XXXX XXXX. As a remedy I want Capital one to credit my account back the {$450.00} they are charging me. 

If any other documentation proving my case is required I can mail or fax you the documents as soon as possible ... ..

I was denied credit on XX/XX/2019 by XXXX  due to a credit report they received from XXXX XXXX.

XXXX  does not allow me to request the credit report online ; other than by phone, they ask me to send by fax or regular mail my social security number, drivers license, and other sensitive material that I am not comfortable sending by fax or mail. I am not sure when I will ever be able to fully review and thus dispute my credit report with them. This complaint is primarily about XXXX, but also I don't believe that XXXX XXXX   should be using such a company for their credit checks.
