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. (NC)

Around the end of XX/XX/XXXX, I was checking my credit report on XXXX XXXX and it stated that my chances of getting a XXXX XXXX Credit Card was fair. I went to XXXX XXXX website to apply for the card and received a pop up with a preapproval message. I applied for the card and was told that I was approved and would receive a {$1000.00} credit limit. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a confirmation email that my new XXXX XXXX Credit card was on the way and thanks for being a new customer. When I received the card a few days later, I tried to activate it and was informed by the customer service rep that they were having a problem with the preapproval code, being that it was for one particular person and it was being investigated. They told me that it was error with XXXX XXXX 's system and that they would get my information and have someone call me back to verify my account and get the card activated within a few days. No one ever called so I called back and was told that the account was closed due to the system error and that I was welcomed to reapply. I did not want to reapply. I told them that because of their system I got a message saying that I was preapproved which lead to me applying for the card. I have requested that they remove the inquiry on my report because it is unfair to me to have it reporting on my credit report due to an error on their behalf. The reps refused to remove this inquiry, therefore it is affecting my credit report in a negative manner. XXXX XXXX should either honor the preapproval amount and activate the card or remove the inquiry from my report. Consumers should not be held responsible for errors on their behalf.

Company: FCI Lender Services Inc. (FL)

I have reached out to the company, my lawyer has reached out to the company and my first mortgage lender ( XXXX ) has reached out to the company but FCI Lender Services Inc.

I am willing to continue paying and would like to do the right thing but if this is n't resolved before XX/XX/XXXX, I will have no choice but default on my first mortgage.

To Whom It May Concern : The creditor SYNCB/GAP, did not present a contract ( VERIFICATION OF DEBT ) as requested in XX/XX/XXXX 2017. Also, one complaint has already been made with no resolution. The creditor has reported an inaccurate and unverifiable derogatory mark with all 3 credit bureaus. SYNCB/GAP, failed to provide the required verification of debt within XXXX days of receipt of the initial CFPB complaint that was received, which is a Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( including but not limited to Section 807-8 ) and Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( including but not limited to Section 623-b ). Proper verification is a signature and verification that I have a contractual obligation to pay them as the Debt was written as loss to the creditor. For purposes of this subdivision, reasonable verification shall include documentation of the name of the original creditor, the name and address of the debtor as appearing on the original creditors records, the original consumer account number, a copy of the contract or other document evidencing the consumer debt, and an itemized accounting of the amount claimed to be owed, including all fees and charges. I am again stating that the debt is not mine and that no proof of my signature has been provided to verify this debt.

Company: HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC (MN)

I received a {$3000.00} Perkins Loan that was handled through the University of XXXX by XXXX  while I attended the University of XXXX. The bill recently came due as you can see by the attached statement. It clearly shows a Date Due of XX/XX/XXXX and a Payoff Amount of : {$3000.00}. When my Father went to pay the bill on XX/XX/XXXX he was informed that the total due would be {$3000.00} as the interest started accruing on XX/XX/XXXX when the grace period ends. This is stated on the statement as well, but clearly the company miss stated the facts. One line they show Grace Period ending XX/XX/XXXX ( in extremely small print ) and then they show a payment due date a month after interest starts ( at the top of the statement in BOLD TYPE ). This is a clear deception. Why not just say the invoice is due on XX/XX/XXXX instead of XX/XX/XXXX? The only reason is to start charging interest before the they state the bill is due/ I asked them to remove the {$12.00} and they refused. I realize this is only {$12.00} to one student, but multiply the number of students who pay off their loan in full by XXXX XXXX and it adds up to an extra income to XXXX of {$12.00} million dollars. Multiply the extra months interest by the number of loans they write and collect and XXXX   could be making 10 's of millions in extra interest that no one really knows they are charging. I also want to point out that just saying the grace period ends on XX/XX/XXXX does not mean they immediately start charging interest if the 1st payment is on due until XX/XX/XXXX. Their deliberate confusion is a money making proposition for XXXX.

A New York state Tax Warrant was issued to my husband and I on an amount owed that was still in dispute. I paid the full amount even though it could ultimately end up less money in our favor. I paid the full amount because it appeared on our credit report in our " public record '' section - lowering our credit score and making it almost impossible to get a loan. Our daughter is going to college in the fall and we need to secure a loan for her before then - this is a nightmare - please help.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (PA)

This complaint is about a disputed charge on my MasterCard with Bank of America. A company called XXXX XXXX XXXX out of Florida offered to recoup charges made from a Fraudulent law firm. Bank America credited my account for this amount on XXXX XXXX XXXX so I paid XXXX XXXX XXXX the agreed 45 % ( {$1500.00} ) on XX/XX/XXXX. A week later Bank America took those funds back saying the charge was too old and closed the case. I have been trying to get XXXX XXXX XXXX to refund my {$1500.00} since. I filed a dispute with Bank America, case # XXXX. They requested additional information which I provided on time, that at first said they got too late and then admitted they got on time but it was n't enough information. Clearly XXXX XXXX XXXX has not fulfilled the signed contract, which Bank America is in possession of, but Bank America has closed the case and will not do anything further because the vendor, XXXX XXXX XXXX, will not answer any ones calls or Emails. I have spoken with Bank America on the following dates with no solution. XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ( with XXXX and XXXX in XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX XXXX in Credit and XXXX in Texas, XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX in XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX and XXXX in XXXX. As far as XXXX XXXX XXXX, I have a voice mail from XXXX XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX in which an XXXX XXXX said he would submit a refund on that day. Never happened and I have since filed a complaint with the States Attorneys General Office in Pennsylvania and Florida and with the Better Business for XXXX Florida. I can not understand how Bank America can take this stand for this vendor over all the evidence I have submitted. They know I did not recover any funds because it was them who took the funds back.

I recently checked my credit report and I notice there are a bunch of unauthorized credit inquiries made. My credit was illegally ran by XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, IL. I did not give them permission to run my credit and while out for a test drive they ran it and sent it to finance places. I do not recall authorizing this credit inquiry and I understand you should n't be allowed to put an inquiry on my file unless I have authorized it. I am requesting you initiate an investigation into these XXXX inquires to determine who requested this credit inquiry. The same day, XXXX XXXX in XXXX, IL did run my credit with my permission so those inquiries are correct. According to XXXX XXXX, before they ran my credit, they said I had XXXX inquiries from XXXX XXXX XXXX. If you find I was not the one who authorized this inquiry, I ask that it be removed immediately from my credit file. Please be so kind as to forward me documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiry removed. If you find that I am in error, then please send me proof of this.
