Consumer complaint received 2024-10-01
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

I have historically frozen my credit with Transunion, XXXX and XXXX. I have never had any issues with either XXXX and XXXX. Each and every time I try to manage my credit freeze on the Transunion website it says they are unable to process my request. Their website does not allow me to file a dispute online either. When I call and speak to a company help desk, they literally tell me they can not find my credit report. I was referred to a supervisor who never picked up the phone ( I waited on hold for over one hour. ). In XXXX of this year I went through the same exercise and a supervisor told me Transunion had incorrect personal information about me which was causing the problem. They provided me a XXXX # XXXX which was to solve the problem on their end. Nothing has changed since that time, and no update was offered. The inability to correct the problem is literally costing my family money as I am unable to renew or update new utility plans etc. I would like to speak to someone with the expertise to help me solve this problem.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MA)

I submitted a credit repair request to a company, but they failed to respond within the 30-day timeframe required by law. This failure to respond has negatively impacted my credit and caused difficulties for me. I am now considering submitting a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), in order to address the situation and protect my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

I entered into a repayment plan with XXXX XXXX as part of an agreement to bring the amount due to XXXX. 

The payments were done monthly as a agreed via my XXXX Account. 

In total the agreement was 48 monthly payments. 

XXXX payments later, or XXXX months before the account was to be paid full, I received notice that my account was now in collections. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX and indicated that I was just XXXX months away from paying the account off in full, and they agreed by phone to continue accepting the payments and then to report it as such-and in good standing. 

I noticed on my credit report that it has been listed as settle for less than paid in full, last month. I contacted XXXX XXXX to inform them the account was paid in full as agreed and the representative told me she would update the account accordingly. 

I also filed a dispute with the XXXX credit bureaus regarding the incorrect reporting by XXXX XXXX. 

Now on my credit report is has been updated to a charge off. When I paid as agreed. Have proof of payments via my XXXX statements, and an email from XXXX XXXX indicating successful receipt of payments. 

It's unfortunate and disappointing how XXXX XXXX went about doing business. Even more so, to lead clients on regarding payment plans and credit reporting when done as agreed to then give the harshest report when it was repaid as agreed. 

It is not worth the effort to negotiate a full repayment with XXXX XXXX if as agreed it is identified as a charge off. It's best to not repay, let it go to collections and then offer to settle at pennies on the XXXX-for the impact a full repayment plan listed as charge off can impact your credit report.

I recently reviewed my credit report and was alarmed to discover several accounts that I did not open. It appears I have been a victim of identity theft, which has negatively impacted my credit score during a critical time as I am in the process of purchasing a home for my family.

I request the immediate removal of these fraudulent accounts from my credit report. Please take the necessary steps to investigate this matter and ensure my credit report accurately reflects the accounts I have authorized. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue. I look forward to your swift resolution.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off. 
Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score.

Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ).

Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper. 
I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (PA)

The XXXX XXXX credit card uses Comenity Bank. I tried to use my card and wasn't able to. So I called them... I was given 3 different stories.. One person said I owed {$260.00} since a purchase back in XXXX of XXXX. The next person told me that when I paid my balance I still had another {$1.00} of interest that started XXXX of XXXX. - he took some money off but sent me to a supervisor.. She told me I enrolled myself to receive email statement back to XXXX. I don't believe this is correct. She said they sent letters and called many times.. This isn't true.. I never received anything in the mail or any phone calls.. The first person I talked to told me they took my phone number off the account and then added it back on. So how did they call me many times if the number wasn't on the account? 
After checking my bank I had proof that the balance was XXXX and I had proof that I paid it in full. The end result was my balance was {$120.00} due XX/XX/XXXX. I paid this balance on XX/XX/XXXX. They then said that I had an additional amount of interest of {$1.00}. That {$1.00} turned into {$260.00}, They allowed me to pay {$100.00} and settle the account. However the second person said it would have to be {$180.00} I told her but the other person told me it could be {$100.00}. It seemed as though they just kept changing it to get the most money out of me, why couldn't I pay the {$1.00} .... It just isn't right to charge interest when the balance was paid in full early.
