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 — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

XXXX has been working on dispute since XX/XX/2022. While this account was in dispute I was not allowed to make payments on this account, I was notified on XX/XX/XXXX or XXXX that XXXX the original seller had charged off the account for no payments received. XXXX immediately sent my balance to collections because they had let the dispute sit there for 5 months and with no notice or payment options said I needed to pay a debt collection agency. I said no. I have never made one late payment to affirm. That is not ethical. XXXX reported the balance to the credit agencies and stopped me from making any future purchases from them saying that I had not made payments on time,

Company: ROC Asset Solutions, LLC (FL)

I was contacted by a Company named API Recovery Solutions. I was told that I had 2 days to pay the debt or I would be taken to court. I was so scared that made a payment. After researching the company online I can not find any legit reviews for them actually being a company. Everything I read says that it is a scam. I am not sure what to believe at this point. I cancelled my bank card and told the company to leave me alone and they said they would take me to court and garnish my wages. I want to get this paid but I am not paying a scam artist.

I have reached out personally and so has the agency hired on my behalf to do so named XXXX we have reach out to all major Credit Agencies Experian, and others I have submitted metro 2 letters of challenge and compliance with no response for 2 months now. I just sent out last week round 2 of the same letters and am waiting to hear back. Since they have had enough time more than 30 days since round 1 letters to respond. They haven't done so I am reaching out to CFPB for help in cleaning these issue up ASAP. 
I also submitted letters and proof to all above mentioned agencies to remove false reporting data from my accounts as the name and address are incorrect as is all the other reporting as I have never extended written consent to any reporting agency to report anything on my behalf. I have hired XXXX credit repair agency to act on my behalf to dispute fraud with said agencies and I have also myself send out letters requesting immediate removal of fraudulent reporting as I have NEVER gave permission to any company to report anything on my behalf except the above mentioned credit repair agency. I have not been able to reach anyone from the above mentioned credit agencies. I am frustrated and want my credit cleared ASAP.

Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (NC)

I couldnt find any way to close my account on the Marcus by Goldman Sacks website. Then I spent several hours trying to close my account by phone. 
The first person I talked to said the account couldnt be closed because I had recently updated my email address on their website. The next 2 people I talked to said someone would have to call me back and Id have to give them a one-time 4 digit PIN. The first time, I was told someone would call me as soon as our call ended. They didnt call. I called back after over 30 minutes. After being put on hold 3 times, I was told again that someone would call to ask for the PIN but this time it would take 20 to 30 minutes for them to call for the PIN. There was no call back for several hours. I cant hang around for hours and keep my phone line open waiting for Marcus by Goldman Sacks to call. 
They also require me to be at home to sign for the check sent via USPS. That would certainly be another delay. 
Seems clear that this is a runaround to avoid closing a CD thats paying only a third of a percentage point interest.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (IA)

None of these options explain my situation. Midland funding had entered into an agreement with the cfpb ( you ) and can not accept any payments from me. This is stopping me from refinancing my vehicle as i can not satisfy the debt. I needed them to send a fax/letter/email to my bank stating they can not accept my payment, but they refuse to do so, even though they would say it to my banker over the phone. I believe this to be out of spite toward me so that i can not refinance my vehicle, since they will not be receiving the money.
