Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

I have been disputing information and requesting corrections on my credit since the beginning of XXXX. At the end of XX/XX/XXXX I began to see incorrect and inaccurate information still existed on my credit report and reached out AGAIN to dispute. My personal information should ONLY be listed as instructed in my letter. ALL differences and variations must be deleted immediately. Transunion ignores me and send stall letters to tell me that they dont even think that it's me who is mailing them my letters. Huh? Who would try to correct my issue other than me? You can not continue to ignore my requests and report what you want to on my credit. According to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Transunion is required to ensure MAXIMUM POSSIBLE ACCURACY. This information violates these laws : 15 USC 1681i, 15 USC 1681s-2, 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), 15 USC 1681e ( b ), and 15 USC1681b.

This bureau also allows anybody to access my report without permission! Unheard of! Plus this bureau has not even responded with investigation results within the specified 30 days. I am demanding that everything be deleted immediately.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I was part of the Equifax credit information hack. I find it unacceptable that I have to PAY to freeze my credit when I did n't consent to my information being stored by Equifax, XXXX, or XXXX in the first place. Congress should make credit freezes and unfreezes free federally. Credit reporting agencies already make money off of my information and I should not be required to pay them additional money to protect my information, especially when they are doing a POOR job in the first place. Thank you for taking time to read my complaint.

This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Issue: Deposits and withdrawals — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NY)

I walked into a Citibank branch at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX ( I have a Checking Account with Citibank ) and ordered about {$300.00} worth of a foreign currency. For some reason, my Checking Account got debited twice for the order ( i.e. I was charged twice as much as I was supposed to be charged ), even though my receipt only indicated that I placed the order once. I went back an hour later and was told the problem would be corrected by the end of the day. It was n't. I called Citibank, and was told that it would take 45-90 days to resolve the problem through corporate. This is completely unacceptable - I lost access to my money and I have bills to pay on which I 'll be charged interest if they are late.

Product: Money transfers — International money transfer
Issue: Incorrect/missing disclosures or info — 
Company: WESTERN UNION COMPANY, THE (TX)

On XXXX XXXX, I received a request for funds from a relative in XXXX who needed it for an emergency on the following day. I had not sent money to this relative in many years, so I had to fill out a form with Western Union to be able to send the money. When my relative tried to cash the money transfer, he was denied the funds, but not given a reason why. When I got involved, a representative told me that either he submitted an official ID through e-mail to western union ( XXXXXXXXXXXX ), fax it, OR we had to send a letter of explanation to Western Union with a picture of my signature. There were problems with both options : my relatives in XXXX do not have the technology or the know how to e-mail the picture ID, and the letter of explanation had to be accompanied with many details I do not know about my relative, and that I know well he would n't be willing to give me. These were facts such as date and place of birth, occupation, address, etc. I must mention here that while I have a moral obligation to assist this relative, our relationship is not the best. So I decided to cancel the money transfer, with the intention to re-send it to another mutual relative who is in my Western Union profile and receives money transfers without any difficulty. She could in turn deliver the funds to the original intended recipient. This is the part with which I have a problem : Western Union stated that that was n't an option at all. How is that possible? Either my estranged relative submitted an ID, which I was not even sure he had, and he stated that it would be too difficult for him, or I submitted the letter of explanation. Else, according to Western Union, they would keep the funds for a year and then submit it to the Treasury Department. 
This defied any sense of logic. It was my money and I simply wanted to cancel the transaction. I called back to seek an explanation ( was it a regulatory requirement or simply an internal policy? What gave them the power to simply keep my money? ) I was NOT given a reasonable explanation. Their explanation was basically " that is the process. ''

Product: Bank account or service — Checking account
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (IL)

I am trying to close a checking account with Wells Fargo. I stopped into a branch in XXXX, WA on XXXX/XXXX/2016 to close my checking account. I was told I could not do so because there was cash in my account. I withdrew all funds and then was told I could not close the account because I had a mortgage with Wells Fargo. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I returned to the same branch in XXXX, WA as my home had sold. I was then told that my account was closed. When I checked XXXX XXXX, I could see that my checking account had not been closed, so I went again to the local branch for the 3rd time to close my checking account. I was told that the account had been closed, but that it would take a few days for it to process through their system. 

I recently received a letter from Wells Fargo dated XXXX/XXXX/2016 indicating that my checking had not been closed and that it was being changed to an account that would charge me $ XXXX/ month if I did not maintain a {$1500.00} minimum daily balance or have qualifying direct deposits totalling {$500.00} or more each statement cycle or XXXX debit card purchases or payments linked to a Wells Fargo Campus ATM or Campus Debit Card. 

I am now on the phone again trying again to close my checking account. 

It feels to be like I am getting the run around so the bank can start charging me fees for an account I do n't use. I suspect that if I were n't constantly following up on this, I could easily be racking up fees without my knowledge on an account I thought had been closed. 

XXXX XXXX, Operations Specialist at Wells Fargo on XXXX/XXXX/2016 assured that the account was closed and that I would be receiving a letter in 5 to 7 business days to confirm closure. 

Even more disturbing though, is that the customer service rep who I spoke with when I first called in on XX/XX/XXXX gave a confirmation number on closing my account. When I asked to be connected to his supervisor she ( XXXX XXXX ) told me there was no confirmation number for my transaction. I do n't understand what is going on and why the customer service rep gave a confirmation number when his supervisor subsequently stated one does n't get generated.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (CA)

I have been making on time payments on my student loans for well over twenty years. Within the last two years I began making inquiries regarding student loan forgiveness for public servants and teachers ( PSLF program ) as I anticipate retirement. I made inquiries with the DOE through my congressman ( XXXX XXXX ).  I learned that my loans were " too old '' and under the wrong umbrella because they were taken out as XXXX XXXX loans ( which are also federally funded loans ). Discouraged at this, I began to ask myself questions that perhaps I should have been asking a very long time ago ... that being : Why is my account balance still so high? Why does the principal seem to stay so high? I 've been paying on time for so long, why do I still have ten more years of payments to make? 
Here is where my problem begins with my loan servicer, Navient. In XX/XX/XXXX I requested copies of the documents that were signed when I consolodated four student loans ( XXXX subsidized and unsubsidized as well as {$14000.00} dating back to 'XX/XX/XXXX-'XX/XX/XXXX ). I received the requested documents on XX/XX/XXXX. As I began to look over the numbers I felt certain things did n't add up. The signed Federal Consolidation Application and Proissory Note reflected a total consolidated amount of {$31000.00} on a form signed by me on XX/XX/XXXX. As I began to consider how long I 've been paying on my loan ( over 20 years ) I began to take a closer look at my account as it stands at this time and what my payment history has been over the years. Therefore, I called Navient and made several inquiries. One of which was an explanation as to how my loan balance could remain so high after so many years of on time payments? I was told in a phone conversation by the Navient representative that I was making " interest only '' payments for a period of six years and my principal was not payed down during that time. I asked the rep to send me a copy of the document indicating " interest only '' payments with my authorizing signature. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a document showing I selected the " Grad Choice ( SM ) Account '' and checked the box indicating " Two years of reduced payments '' and makes no mention of " Interest Only ''. This document was signed by me XX/XX/XXXX. So at a minimum, by XX/XX/XXXX my loan payments would have reverted back to a normal payment schedule. I feel this was a major mishandleing of my account by Navient that has cost me a lot of money. 
As of XX/XX/XXXX my account with Navient is as follows : Balance remaining : {$27000.00} Total principal payed : {$9700.00} Total interest payed : {$21000.00} I believe I have payed beyond what is reasonable in interest.
