Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

The glaring absence of tangible evidence validating its accuracy, along with the dissemination of unsubstantiated information, represents a clear breach of the legal framework delineated in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This regulatory violation is not only disheartening but also frustrating, given the imperative for compliance. Thus, I strongly advocate for the expedited removal of this account in accordance with the law, unless sufficient evidence is promptly provided to validate its legitimacy. Failure to address this issue promptly only exacerbates the frustration stemming from the disregard for legal standards.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CT)

My credit suffered from my divorce in XXXX. To help improve my credit score, I bought Trans Union credit score monitoring service. As part of the service, they provide advice to improve your credit score. Since 2018, I have followed their advice keeping my debt down to manageable amounts and when possible increasing the amount of credit that I had available ( to reduce the credit utilization ratio ). After several years and a lot of hard work, per my purchased TU credit score, I was finally able to increase my score to a respectable score of XXXX. So with my improved credit, I decided to buy a house. However, after spending a lot of time, energy, and money, I selected a home to purchase. However, when I applied for a mortgage, I was shocked to find out that my mortgage was denied because my TU credit score reported to the lender was XXXX. I tried to work with TU to determine why there was a 70 point difference in the score that was reported to the mortgage lender and the score that I purchased ( and was using to drive many of my financial decisions over the last few years ). I never spoke to a live person and they were absolutely not helpful at all. I have no idea why there is such a huge discrepancy in the two scores and how I can improve the lower score reported to the lender. 

I feel it fraudulent and dangerous for Trans Union, or any other credit agency, to sell credit scores to individuals that don't represent the score that will be supplied to lenders.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TX)

Truist Bank keeps changing the amount I owe for escrow. In less than two weeks I was told my shortage went from $ XXXX to $ XXXX to an additional $ XXXX. They've applied an escrow payment to the principal in error and I can not trust what they say over the phone nor can I trust their paperwork is correct. To date, they claim I still owe them {$6000.00}. My loan was sold to them in XXXX. Before the transfer my insurance was paid and the difference was sent to me. I sent the difference ( {$6100.00} ) to Truist. ( proof of insurance payment is attached ). 

That difference would have been close if not enough to cover at least the school taxes, leaving only the county taxes unpaid at the time of transfer. My total monthly escrow comes to {$1900.00} ( based on what was paid in 2022 ), which to-date ( 5 months ) would be {$9900.00} plus the unpaid {$6100.00} for county taxes comes to a total of {$16000.00} for escrow. For all the payments I've made to Truist ( {$23000.00} ), that comes to a difference of {$7600.00} in my favor. My monthly principal/interest payments add up to roughly {$1500.00} for the past 5 months ( a total of roughly {$7900.00} ). My arrears then should only be about {$300.00}. 

Last week, both Monday and Friday, they said I owed {$8000.00}. I wanted to pay the {$8000.00} and close the escrow account. Then they told me I couldn't close the account until I paid them an additional {$6000.00}
