Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TN)

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: CrossCountry Mortgage LLC (OH)

We purchased a home and closed in XXXX 2016. Our lender had an appraisal done on XXXX/XXXX/16. Our lender was Crosscountry Mortgage Inc. We knew going in that we could only put down XXXX % but as soon as we sold our other home we would put down another XXXX % to remove PMI. We were ready to do that within 1 month of our purchase ; however, Crosscountry sold our mortgage to XXXX and their " guidelines '' state that they " may '' request another appraisal. Since we just had an appraisal we thought common sense would indicate that our original appraisal would be sufficient and that was our understanding going into the process. Now our servicer ( Crosscountry ) is stating that XXXX wants another appraisal and there is nothing that they can do. I call XXXX and they blame it on Crosscountry. We are stuck in the middle. Crosscountry says it 's out of their hands. XXXX says if anything can happen Crosscountry would have to escalate it. We are left with no one to help us. This is despicable. I ca n't believe big banks and large companies can take advantage of consumers like this and then pretend like there 's nothing that they can do. Rather than attempt to help each company just blames it on the other. The last rep I spoke to with XXXX ( XXXX ) just read me their guidelines and kept saying " if it 's in the guidelines ... .if it 's in the guidelines. '' I guess the guidelines mean that common sense is out the window.

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection — Billing dispute
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I tried to get a credit report on-line and went directly to the web site of Transunion, thinking I was asking for my once a year free report. I was filling out a form when it disappeared and I thought an error had occurred and I would try again another time, or that I 'd receive my credit report in the mail. ( I did not realize this was an on-line report. ) I did NOT receive ANYTHING from Transunion - no credit report, no confirmation of any 'service, ' and no confirmation of any charges. Upon receiving my credit card bill, a {$1.00} charge ( on XXXX/XXXX/16 ) and a {$19.00} charge ( on XXXX/XXXX/16 ) showed up. When I called Transunion to ask about these charges, the C S Rep informed me I had signed up for a credit monitoring service and the {$1.00} was for the sign up, and the {$19.00} was an on-going monthly charge. I asked why I would do that since I knew I could get one report a year, free, from each of the XXXX agencies. I informed her that I had received no confirmation of signing up for any service, nor had I received confirmation of any charges to me. She said she could cancel the monthly service, but that she could n't refund the charges already made. She also told me I should have gone to XXXX for my free report, but I told her I did n't know that. I told her I would deny the charges, but then decided I should also file a report to explain what happened. I 'm XXXX years young - I certainly do n't need my credit monitored at my age!

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL)

On XXXX XXXX at XXXX I ordered a toaster online at walmart.com for free same day pick up at a Walmart store and charged it to my Walmart Mastercard. I watched my account throughout the day to know when it would be ready for pickup at the store. After waiting all day, I canceled the online order, after also calling walmart.com three times and calling the store where the toaster was supposed to be ready for pickup the same day. Walmart.com cs agents tried to tell me they could n't hear me and something was wrong with my phone. Nothing was wrong with my phone because I talked to others on my phone the same day and we had no problems.Walmart.com cs agents " XXXX '', " XXXX '', and " XXXX '' could not answer my questions or solve the problem of WHEN or if the toaster would be ready to pick up. The Walmart store I called transferred me and put me on hold XXXX or 5 times and nobody ever did pick up the phone in customer service so I could n't find out if the item was ready for SAME DAY pick up so I cancelled the order online in my Walmart account on XXXX XXXX, 2016 around XXXX. I also called my Walmart Master card account at XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and spoke to someone named " XXXX '' and told him the {$16.00} charge for the toaster I never picked up should be removed from my Mastercard. Today I checked my Walmart mastercard balance and transaction history and there is still a {$16.00} charge on it -- apparently for the toaster -- which I never picked up because it was n't available for same day pick up as promised by Walmart. I called my walmart credit card again today and got the runaround by the cs agent. I then asked to speak to a supervisor and was placed on hold. She came back after awhile, asked, " Are you still there? '' " yes I am, '' said I. She said it will be XXXX or XXXX more minutes. I waited, then hung up because my only phone is a prepaid cell phone with 250 minutes per month, and I 'm wasting those precious minutes and my time on these kind of phone calls. Walmart mastercard knows this as I have told them, so apparently putting me on lengthy holds assures them I will have to give up and hang up.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

XXXX took the process seriously and looked not only at my letter ( s ) explaining the unauthorized transactions but they also took the supporting documentation I sent to them and immediately removed the accounts in question. I have XXXX accounts that belong to my ex-spouse XXXX XXXX that she obtained while I was serving our country as an XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I signed a Power of Attorney over to her while I was laying my life on the line in combat because we have a son together and in case I died, I wanted her to be able to handle my affairs for the betterment of her and my son. Instead, she took the Power of Attorney and opened up accounts without my presence or knowledge which to say the least is very wrong on many levels because when I returned home from XXXX, she continued to use the Power of Attorney without me knowing that either, and I mean upon my immediate return home. Think about that sneaking behind my back to open up an auto loan with XXXX XXXX ( supporting documentation attached ), she opened up an account with XXXX XXXX. XXXX and charged it off in my name ( supporting documentation attached ), and through a court order, she was supposed to be responsible for a home loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage but instead of abiding by the court order, she 's currently {$3100.00} past due on the account which is reflecting on my Transunion and XXXX credit reports ( supporting documentation enclosed. ) I have been writing letters and sending supporting documents to XXXX and Transunion for over 5 months now and all they do is contact XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage and come back with a response letter saying that the creditors verified the accounts. This is not proper investigational work. The companies mentioned do not have the right ( legally ) to continue reporting the accounts on my credit files with Transunion and XXXX. I reiterate : upon XXXX receiving my first and only letter to them accompanied by supporting legal letters, immediately deleted the unauthorized accounts from my credit file with XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Since then I just keep getting the run around with XXXX and Transunion. Its as if they just do n't want to take the time to review the legally binding supporting documents that I keep forwarding to them. Please see attached supporting documents and get Transunion and XXXX to remove the unauthorized accounts or the only remedy I feel will be necessary, will be to start contacting XXXX in the states of XXXX and XXXX and to get the XXXX Office to look into this very request for investigation with the CFPB if this is not investigated properly and proof of a proper investigation is not rendered back to me. Please help so I do n't have to keep climbing the ladder and or wasting time.
