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. (FL)

I have tried to dispute a credit report error to XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion for months without any success. 


I am writing to you regarding the late derogatory mark on my credit report for an error that could have been avoided and that is impacting my life. A late payment was removed from my XX/XX/2018 credit report ( XXXX XXXX ) with all three credit reporting bureaus. 
I switched banks in XX/XX/XXXXwhich an auto draft was taking payments out of. When it occurred to me that the payments were going late I contacted card services and requested a new card. The card was sent to a very old address that was never updated in your system. I called immediately that day once I found out XXXX was attempting to deliver an overnight envelope to my old address but your office would not allow it to be re-routed or held at a XXXX location. I had to wait another 30 days for it to be sent United States Postal Service ( Slowest way to send it ) which is not guaranteed. There is no telling when it arrived. 
When I received my card I made a payment which got rejected for some reason and made the late payment worse. I was able to make the payment and get back on track. As you can see, I have been making larger payments to cover my balance. 
This is the 5th time I have called and now I am having to write to have this removed. The late payment is inaccurate and needs to be removed from my credit score.  You already removed one month out of the two so why was the 2nd one not  removed?

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I had an equity loan with Bank of America that was paid off on XXXX/XXXX/16. I have requested NUMEROUS times for them to send me an accounting of the figures closing out the loan. I believe it is call the Truth and Lending statement. They have continually refused and previously I complained to you because they refused to give me any information on this loan other than charging me an outrageous amount of interest that they did not break down or define at how it was arrived at. My prior case with you is, XXXX # XXXX. I received a letter from Bank of America today from their department that handles loans discharged in bankruptcy and has to do with my default. My loan has been paid in full. All I want is an accurate accounting of the end figures on that loan and now they have it in the resolution department in discharging a debt. I DEMAND FROM THEM A TRUTH AND LENDING STATEMENT AS TO WHAT HAPPENED AFTER MY LAST MONTHLY PAYMENT OF THE LOAN. i HAVE NOT DEFAULTED ON ANY LOAN AND IT HAS BEEN PAID IN FULL AND ACTUALLY HAS BEEN OVERPAID. I would also like to know Bank of America 's usual practices when a loan is paid off and how many XXXX people they are ripping off. Thank you for looking into this matter for me. XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I have requested several investigations into an account that was placed in collections including sending certified mail and notarized statements to Experian, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX. In XX/XX/2014I signed a lease with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, FL which is under the name ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) on my credit report. After living there a month I was forced to move to another unit because of construction. One month later in XXXX I was forced to move out because the construction was making me very sick. The front office agreed to release me from the lease but did not notify the back end office in XXXX. My move out statement shows that I was billed a half a month of rent and my final water bill was XXXX cents. I was moved out on the XXXX which the property management said that there was no issue since I was getting sick from their rental unit and they did not want any lawsuits. This has turned into a nightmare trying to fight. When I most recently moved into a new apartment this year I was able to pull up my move-out form from XXXX XXXX and the copy of the lease. The information on my credit report is inaccurate and should be removed. I have sent numerous letters ( even notarized and certified ) but nothing ever gets done. I even had credit bureaus return mail saying they couldn't find this account. Please help me deal with this issue and get my information to them. It has been very difficult to represent myself and prove my side of my story to show no wrong doing on my part.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email regarding a purchase confirmation on my XXXX account. I di not make this purchase so I immediately looked at my checking account with Regions Bank and saw this charge as well as two charges to XXXX for purchases that I did not make. I called my bank and notified them that my card and accounts had been compromised. At this point, only one transaction had cleared and two were still pending. They opened a dispute for the charge to XXXX that had cleared but told me that I must wait until the two pending charges had cleared before I could open a dispute for those two. On XX/XX/XXXX I was charged an NSF OD fee of {$72.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I was charged an NSF OD fee of {$180.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I was charged an NSF OD fee of {$36.00} and on XX/XX/XXXX a paid overdraft fee of {$140.00}. All these charges were a result of the pending fraudulent charges on my account because my previous made charges were coming through while these pending amounts were still there. I contacted XXXX who was able to refund one of the charges on XX/XX/XXXX ( 6 days after the charge was made ) On XX/XX/XXXX I was able to dispute the two charges that had been pending for 5 days as they had now cleared. I contacted my bank again to dispute these charges. I received notice from my bank on XX/XX/XXXX that they did not find the first charge to XXXX fraudulent. I faxed in a login history for my XXXX account showing login attempts in XXXX, XXXX, California, and several attempts to change my password. I then received notice from Regions Bank that they would not refund the two fraudulent XXXX charges even though I sent in the order confirmations where the hacker was ordering mattresses and shipping them all over the united states because they said XXXX refunded them to me. XXXX refunded one charge only but this was 6 days later. I visited my local branch on XX/XX/XXXX and explained what ws going on and provided all documents supporting. The branch employee told me that everything is done through a computer system and that is likely why it was denied. I have not heard anything since. I am now out {$640.00} betwen the thieves online and the thief, Regions Bank. I should not be charged {$430.00} in NSF overdraft fees from my bank that were a result of identity theft. I am the victim! I have contacted the XXXX Police Department to file a report but was told I would need an affidavit from my bank. PLEASE HELP!

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (IA)

I would be very VERY cautious before ever EVER getting a mortgage with XXXX XXXX. If you do you will be inundated with mail and email solicitations trying to get you to refinance. The mail solicitations they make look like something you need to open and when you do it will just be another sales pitch. You get so many that you begin to routinely throw them away rather than waste your time ... but beware ... in the process you might throw away their annual escrow analysis. So even if you have the mortgage set up to be automatically paid by your bank 's bill pay system, you will suddenly not be paying enough. They will call you and email you non-stop to refinance you but will they tell you your payment was a little short? Nope!! So although you send them your payment, they will take the payment and sit on it ... and not apply it ... because it wasn't the new full amount. Then they will report you late to the credit bureau. 

They never sent it back they never called me to let me know they were just holding it in limbo. Instead they reported it 1 times 30 days late on my credit report despite that I had paid on time just was short by their new escrow adjustment. I brought this to their attention and asked them to correct the error since they actually had almost the entire amount of my payment. Their response was " This correction would be considered a courtesy and we are unable to honor the request. '' Again, be wary of doing business with this company. They are very dishonest. My credit history is spotless except for this because I always pay my bills on time. Please help me get them to fix this error.

I appreciate your taking the time to CORRECT some of the erroneous items in my credit file ; however, there are still many items that need to be UPDATED. The 3 credit bureaus must verify these items under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). I'm hoping that these disputed items be UPDATED immediately.

Company: LDF Holdings, LLC (GA)

I live in Georgia and here is the Georgia law that I was unaware of, The Georgia Industrial Loan Act of 1955 essentially made payday lending illegal by requiring state licensing and registration and by imposing strict usury limits on small loans. In 2004, the Georgia General Assembly increased the fines and criminal penalties for people making small loans at illegal rates of interest. The law went into effect in May 2004, and has survived challenges in federal court. Referred to as the Payday Lending Act of 2004, this law authorizes misdemeanor charges against violators, as well as fines of up to {$5000.00} per violation and a possible jail sentence of 1 year. 

Usury laws limit the interest rate amount a lender can charge. In Georgia, a licensed lender can not charge more than 10 % interest on a loan of {$3000.00} or less. Most states have a usury limit ; if you were to borrow money from an out-of-state lending institution, that states cap would apply. Bear in mind that these rates may differ from Georgias rates. 
They do NOT hold any type of Georgia license.
