Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MD)

I got a personal loan from XXXX XXXX. I fell behind on the loan for over 120 days, so XXXX XXXX initiated a legal process to collect the overdue amount and the balance of the loan. Because of this, and legal fee of {$86.00} was assessed. I was able to pay the overdue amount before this issue got to court, got the account back in good standing, and have made on-time payments ever since. Contrarily, my account has been reported as late from XX/XX/XXXX even though payments have been made on time. I called the bank and spoke with the manager ( XXXX XXXX ) and she was unaware as to why my account was being reported as late when there was a {$0.00} past due balance. I then wrote a letter asking them to rectify this matter and accurately report my account to the credit bureaus as this was now negatively affecting my credit. Come to find out, the reason they were reporting my loan balance as late is because of the {$86.00} legal fee which the Branch manager nor the other employees that I previously spoke to knew about. Moreover, the {$86.00} was not reflected on my statements nor bank summary until I brought the delinquent reporting to the bank 's attention. I then asked if I could pay the legal fee, but I was told that I could not and the only way the get rid of it is to pay the total loan balance which at the time ( XX/XX/XXXX ) was {$8000.00}. So the bank has been reporting my account as late for a {$86.00} legal fee that I could not pay and that is not a part of the actual loan amount that was borrowed. Nonetheless, it is being reported as though I have not made any payments for over a year when this is in fact not true. I've called the bank and formally written them several times only to get the run around and contradictory information. Finally, in XX/XX/XXXX I was told that " Senior Management '' has decided to allow me to now pay the legal fee, which I did. I sent the {$86.00} payment in on XX/XX/XXXX. However, it is still being reflected on my credit report that the account is past due for {$86.00}. Additionally, they've incorrectly reported my account to the credit bureaus. The account has not been delinquent since XX/XX/XXXX. It was being reported as delinquent for {$86.00} that was not a part of the loan amount and I was not even allowed the opportunity to pay that fee until a XX/XX/XXXX. When I asked if they would correct the erroneous reporting, they said no although they admitted to incorrectly reporting this information. Still to this day the {$86.00} is still being reported as past due. Additionally, they have not correctly credited the {$86.00} for the fee to my account. Dealing with this bank has been an absolute nightmare and it should not be this hard to get things done correctly or information reported right as this is their profession. The worse part is that it's clear that the people at this bank has no care or concern for how they're negatively impacting my life.
