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

What is wrong with all of you? 

When XXXX thing is corrected on my XXXX account more false information is submitted by XXXX. 

There seems to be no credibility in the XXXX Credit Bureau reporting. 

XXXX is corrupt. 

How many times do I have to continue to report XXXX 's false information reporting to the XXXX Credit Bureaus? 

The student loan payments are current! XXXX has the correct information. Stop reporting the payment status on any month of any year is unknown. That is a XXXX lie. 

Stop reporting false information on my credit report and make XXXX report the truth! 

XXXX know the truth!

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (AL)

Description of the problem : PAYMENT NEVER APPLIED TO MY ACCOUNT- GOLDMAN SACHS BANK ( APPLE CARD ) Sent a payment of {$6000.00} to Apple Card ( Goldman Sachs Bank ) electronically on XX/XX/XXXX. Check for payment was cashed on XX/XX/XXXX. The payment was never applied to my account. 

I have tried to take care of this issue directly with Apple card support. I have sent them the voided check to show them that it was cashed. They told me they would investigate on their end. 

On XX/XX/XXXX Apple called saying that they would finally apply {$6000.00} payment to account with interests accrued. 

It's now XX/XX/XXXX. I have called them and they have no idea what I am talking about. 

No one knows what is happening, continuous contradictions and I have all recorded over the phone. 

This is so stressful as I am being taken advantage of. 

I have never in my whole life experienced anything like this and GOLDMAN SACHS is responsible.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (AL)

This company fraudulently continues to charge me returned check fees even though the money is drafted from my account and the money is there. Thats Bank closed both of my account with them and neither account had any relation. This company needs to be investigated for its processes for this particular issue. I have multiple sources of documentation that can prove this banks fraudulent practices proper to my accounts being closed. Agent and Supervisor that I talked to stated that my account was current but there wasnt anything that could be done once the accounts was closed. I was told that if two autopay payments were return then they could close the account even if current even though it was an error on their behalf. I request the consumer agreement to be mail to my house to see if I had the ability to sue this company and still havent received this information. This Bank is stealing money from its consumer and a deep dive into their processes I guarantee this company is doing this to more than just myself. Also if need be I will authorize this entity to review every detail of my account to help validate my claims.

Company: American Collection Systems, Inc. (AZ)

Noticed debt on credit report. Filed dispute with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX about a collection showing on my report. The collection company is American Collection Systems XXXX WY phone # ( XXXX ) XXXX. Tried calling to get information from them on XX/XX/XXXX about the creditor. Company name shows as XXXX XXXX XXXX. American Collection said they could not disclose information about the debt but did provide a phone number. American Collection said to wait 10 minutes while they reached out first to let them know I would be calling. American Collection couldnt find me at first then found it under XXXX XXXX. Have not used that last name in over 30 years. Tried calling XXXX XXXX XXXX on the number given to me by American Collection and it goes to voicemail and have not gotten a call back. The phone number given to me for XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX. It was sent to American Collection on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance {$11000.00}. The account was opened XX/XX/XXXX for an amount of {$10000.00}. American Collection said that a judgment has been filed against me under XXXX XXXX and could not disclose information due to Arizona privacy law. I find it strange that the agency wanted me to wait 10 minute to call the creditor so they could call and let them know I was going to call. I have no idea who this company is or what XXXX XXXX XXXX stands for. They told me they could not provide me that information and to call them after she did. I have not received any communication from either company about this debt. I reach out to find out why this is on my credit report

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to XXXX and TransUnion was XX/XX/2022, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized.

I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to remove the account. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not block the account because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the dispute letter they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the dispute letter ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy. I ordered a copy of my report in XXXX XXXX  and I found out that credit reporting agencies still indicate my dispute of information in my credit report. As of XXXX TransUnion has not responded/ replied/ answered to my dispute. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Credit Bureau must complete their investigation within 30 days. Please check payment history, date open, last activity and Status of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2020 Balance : {$3600.00} I believe it was reporting in error, as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients.
