Consumer complaint received 2020-05-22
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TN)

I am following up on my prior complaint as I am unable to add documentation or edit said complaint. Once again I was on the phone with Transunion in order to rectify the derogatory credit rating that they applied to me by dropping my credit score by 66 points due to the Cares Act Mandated requirement to defer my loan. This was done without my permission. I am paid over one year in advance as well as began payments prior to the required time to pay the loan. I paid while my daughter was in school! I have never been late. I was once again put on hold with this company for over one hour ( I have phone records to prove this ) and finally hung up. It is quite clear that they have no interest in fixing any of this. Prior to requesting I be transferred to a supervisor as I was told that this would be looked into, I spoke to XXXX and she said that it was in review and that nothing could be done. I want my credit score to be what I have worked hard for it to be. I want it reinstated to the score it was prior to Transunion deducting 66 points and better as I have since paid off or down on more obligations. This is a direct violation of the CARES ACT it should not even need to be in review. I quote, " The CARES AcXXXX suspends student loan payment obligations through XX/XX/2020. During that time, borrowers ' credit reports are supposed to reflect the loans as if there was " a regularly scheduled payment made by a borrower. '' This requirement is also reflected on XXXX  's own website, which explained in a blog post that " the Department of Education will report suspended payments to the national credit bureaus as though they were on-time payments. '' Despite requirements under the law, public complaints from borrowers like lead plaintiff Mr. XXXX reveal widespread, improper furnishing and credit reporting. Specifically, borrowers whose loans are serviced by XXXX XXXX complain of their damaged credit caused by no fault of their own. Following borrower complaints, XXXX XXXX has publicly acknowledged its error. 

XXXX XXXX is the government student loan contractor that handles loans for more than 8 million customers and is the largest servicer of borrowers with federally held loans. Today 's lawsuit demands XXXX XXXX immediately cease violating the California Consumer Reporting Agencies Act. Today 's lawsuit also demands XXXX, TransUnion, XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX immediately cease violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the California Consumer Reporting Agencies Act, and California 's Unfair Competition Law ... .. '' and it goes on this is from an article XXXX  : XXXX? XXXX. I would like this fixed no. There are absolutely no excuses. Shame on TRANSUNION, XXXX, AND XXXX XXXX! I expect this agency to do something about this truly. This is in direct violation to what the CARES ACT was designed for. It is supposed to help not DAMAGE!
