Consumer complaint received 2018-08-08
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA
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:
All occurring on XX/XX/18. Experian has made it nearly impossible to access my free credit report, instead it gives me a continual run-around, ultimately requiring me to physically mail documents ( not free ), to receive my report. While XXXX  and XXXX issued my report without complications, Experian gives one disingenuous excuse after another ... first, " my current address isn't an exact match '' which shouldn't be the case if both XXXX and XXXX had no issue with my address. Then, Experian gave me the option of uploading " proof of identity '' documents such as my license and a current bill. I did so, and each time I clicked to upload and submit the documents I was given a new error ( which wasn't even stated an issue in the upload instructions ). The website states that both PDFs and TIFFs are acceptable formats, but, when I attempted to upload a photo of my license which as in color, it was denied because it had to be a gray-scale TIFF, which wasn't stated prior. The second time I uploaded a gray-scale TIFF, the file size was stated to be too large, again, the second file was smaller than the first, yet I was not instructed to submit a smaller image file. Finally, having corrected both of the aforementioned issues, on my third submission attempt I was redirected to a web page that stated I have exceeded my maximum number of attempts to upload the documents and that my free credit report request could only be processed by mail. Experian is truly the lowest common denominator of the credit reporting world, they make requests so complicated and difficult that most people would give up -- not to mention they try to trick you into paying for a report, even though I'm entitled to an annual report. Truly tired of their fabricated complications and diversionary tactics, this isn't the first time I've had issues with Experian specially when accessing my annual report ... meanwhile XXXX  and XXXX always work without issue.

Complaint:
I have been facing difficulties in obtaining credit due to a previous fraud alert on my account. I contacted all three credit bureaus on XX/XX/2023 and requested them to remove the alert.

I called the bureaus again and they assured me that there was no problem with my account.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: ME
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Our initial complaint # XXXX, asked for a correction dating back as far as XX/XX/11. Thank you XXXX & XXXX for your partial effort. TD Bank finally recognized they made an error. They credited the over {$6000.00} in fees but would not recognize that every fee payment on our history should have gone towards our balance. Thus reducing the balance and interest calculations. They were supposed to send an updated payment history showing the correction and all payments to date. 
We again ask that all " FEE PAYMENTS '' since XX/XX/2011 are correctly applied to the " POST BALANCE '' as of the day they were charged. Thus requiring a recalculation of all since XX/XX/2011. 
This at the 11 % rate should give an accurate final payment so we can put an end to this nightmare.

Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
I am consistently monitoring my credit score through Experian. I paid my balances on credit card even before the due date to make sure that my credit score would go up. My score on XX/XX/2022 was still XXXX. I was hoping to increase it more since I've paid all my credit cards. However, when I checked it last XX/XX/2022 I was surprised to see my credit score went down to XXXX points. It went down to XXXX ; hence, instead of having a good credit, it became on the fair credit margin. I tried contacting Experian over the phone but there was no response, and there was only an automated operator giving prompt and redirecting me to another automated operator. I called them 4 times to speak with their representative but they do not have anyone to explain why my credit score went down. I hope you could investigate this case because I've been trying so hard to get my credit score to go up, but their report doesn't seemed accurate.

Complaint:
I am a victim of unfair credit reporting and deceptive practices. I have made several attempts to resolve the matter. XX/XX/2020 I filed a dispute with XXXX XXXX Credit Bureau stating that I was not the owner of the closed credit card on my credit report. I requested to see a contract agreement with my signature along with any monthly statements sent to me. XXXX XXXX is the only credit bureau reporting on this alleged credit card account and they indicated the account is closed. XX/XX/2020, Wells Fargo reported to the credit bureau that the limit on the close account had been lowered {$73.00}. As a result of the report from Wells Fargo, XXXX XXXX credit bureau lowered my credit score XXXX  points. I have disputed the ownership of this account because the credit card in question that I held with Wells Fargo was a {$1000.00} SECURED Credit Card and no such amount was charged to this card. Also the credit bureau investigation failed to resolve anything. There was no evidence surrendered to suggest that I owned the account..
