Consumer complaint received 2017-09-18
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Problem canceling credit monitoring or identify theft protection service
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint:
I went to TransUnions website on XXXX XXXX, 2017 to obtain a free credit report at https : //www.transunion.com/annual-credit-report. See attached pdf which shows picture of misleading website intentionally designed to fool people into ordering a service which they do not want and which is very difficult to cancel. 

If you go to the site you will see that they advertise a free annual report. They mention it being free several times in the paragraph that follows and there is a button to order a Trans Union report and score to the right of their description about the free services. I clicked on the Get your credit report and score button. It brought me to a three-step process which I completed. The process required that I provide them a lot of details about myself including verifying my home mortgage and even entering a credit card number. It did not occur to me that I was entering my credit card number for purposes of being billed for any type of service. I was surprised when I received an email that stated that I had enrolled in a monthly credit monitoring service for {$19.00} per month. 
I contacted Trans Union today and spoke with 2 individuals who assured me that it would be easy to have the service canceled. I went online and am not sure that the service was even canceled. 
I am very concerned that I have been victimized by Trans Union and that many other Americans are also going to be victimized by Trans Union particularly after the XXXX situation where many of us are wanting to run a credit report to see if we have been victimized.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, I placed a payment of {$100.00} on my account with XXXX, which was over the minimum amount due on an account with the balance of {$3200.00}. On XXXX XXXX, I posted a second payment for the rest of the balance due of {$3100.00} that was the balance on the account on that date. On XXXX XXXX, after there was {$0.00} balance on my account, I was charged interest in the amount of {$44.00}, with that amount due during my next billing cycle. This was also after I had ONE late payment ( the only one in my credit history ) with XXXX, and they instituted a penalty rate on my card AND decreased my credit limit to make it appear that my card was maxed out, without notifying me, several months after the late payment occurred. This ended up hurting my credit score, when I otherwise had excellent credit and payment history.

They have also violated these multiple laws below, 15 U.S. Code 1681a 15 U.S. Code 1681 15 U.S. Code 1681i And according to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % Accurate. I have the credit report showing the inaccuracies. Their illegal actions are costing me and my daughter to live in unsafe circumstances because I can't get proper housing or transportation! If they do not delete these accounts from my credit profile permanently I will take further action and they will be liable to pay me {$1000.00} per violation!

Complaint:
Please be advised that this is my SECOND WRITTEN REQUEST asking to remove the unverified accounts listed below that remain on my credit report in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is required under the FCRA to have properly verified the accuracy of an account listed on my credit report. In the results of your first re-investigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly. Where are the documents that you used to verify these accounts? What is the name of the person in your company who verified these accounts? What documents did they use to verify them? Please provide me with the name of that individual, their business address, and telephone number. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, defines Verify as, 1 ) " To prove to be true ; to confirm or establish the truth or truthfulness of ; to authenticate. '' 2 ) To confirm or substantiate by oath or affidavit ; to swear to the truth of. '' and Verification as, Confirmation of correctness, truth or authenticity, by affidavit, oath, or deposition. Affidavit of truth of a matter stated and object of verification is to assure good faith in averments or statements of a party. The company was not willing and able to produce any documentation that proves the account ( s ) in dispute belong to me and the information being reported is accurate and you must be able to do this in a court of law if I file a lawsuit against you. Nor did someone within your company provided authenticated documents in your files that were used to verify the disputed accounts and to do this they must have 1st hand knowledge of the alleged account ( s ) and all that has ever transpired for the alleged account ( s ), under oath and under the penalty of perjury. As I am sure that you are well aware, current Federal case law states that, Consumer Reporting Agencies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibility must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from other sources. The Courts have also ordered that a Reinvestigation that merely shifts the burden back to the consumer and the credit grantor can not fulfill the obligations imposed by 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ).

I advised them that I had not returned to work yet due to COVID 19 and they stated that they feel that they have done everything that they needed to assist me. Then on XX/XX/2020 I received a phone call from someone in the collections department asking why I cancelled the payment online, this person was extremely rude and nasty.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I paid XXXX XXXX for a copy of XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was given a download link and registration number for the software, which I downloaded from XXXX  and registered. I then used the software for the next 10 months until XXXX notified me that the software purchased was not authentic. During this period the software vendor appears to have closed their business, so my attempts to contact the software vendor were futile. ( email attached ) XXXX assigned a case number ( # XXXX ) and sent me a letter stating that the software was not authentic. I then went to my bank ( Bank of America ) and because the debit card used was a Visa debit card, they investigated the case notifying me that I was within the deadline and issued a temporary credit on XX/XX/XXXX for {$910.00}. ( docs attached ) As of XX/XX/XXXX, the temporary credit has been withdrawn because the bank of XXXX XXXX stated that they were not notified within 60 days of the initial transaction per a notification letter from Bank of America. ( doc attached ) I would point out that : 1. ) I was not notified by XXXX that the software I downloaded from their site and registered through their site was not authentic until 10 months after the initial download and registration. This untimely notification unduly inhibits me as the purchaser from taking timely action against the software vendor.
<P/>
2. ) Because the vendor is no longer in business ( I presume ) I cant get their side of the story regarding the sale. It was suggested by yet another vendor that XXXX may have purchased a large site license from XXXX and then decided to sell off individual licenses. This may be what happened, but I ca n't confirm not can I comment on the legality of this practice.
<P/>
I would like to know what recourse, if any, I as a small business owner have in this regard. I have lost critical funding and although primary responsibility would naturally sit with the vendor who illegally sold the software they ca n't represent themselves. I would note they had a very good online reputation at the time I purchased from them. I also feel XXXX shares some responsibility to notify a purchaser at the time they register the software as to its legitimacy so that the end user can take appropriate and timely action.
