Consumer complaint received 02-09-2016 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (VA).
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection
Sub-issue: Billing dispute

Complaint: On-line, I placed credit freeze at TRANSUNION on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX due to identity theft. Paid a {$10.00} fee using a credit card the police report would not be available for XXXX to 7 days after making the report. On phone, was told by a TRANSUNION representative to send the police report by FAX and request a refund of the {$10.00} fee. Faxed the police report and request for refund on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, a TRANSUNION representative stated that I would not get a refund because the police report was not submitted concurrent with the online transaction. The TRANSUNION website XXXX displays a table listing the XXXX provisions regarding credit freezes. Under XXXX victim, the entry is as follows : State Requirements Fee Information Add Lift Remove XXXX Identity Theft Victim Free** Free** Free** **In order to be eligible for free Security Freeze services, you may be required to provide proof of eligibility by mail. Click here for more information. 

The 'click here '' leads to the following information : " If you believe you qualify for a free Security Freeze due to identity theft you must supply our office with a copy of a Law Enforcement report alleging identity theft that has been filed with your local law enforcement department or the XXXX.

'' Mail : TransUnion LLC XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX I explained to a TRANSUNION representative that XXXX refunded a {$10.00} fee the day after receiving a faxed police report. My understanding of XXXX law in this regard is that a refund is required. A TRANSUNION representative stated that if I had made the freeze request by phone, the TRANSUNION representative would have suggested a no-fee credit fraud alert until such time as I had a police report. Therefore, my {$10.00} fee would not be refunded. 

I believe that TRANSUNION has engaged in deceptive practices in this matter.

Consumer complaint received 10/31/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with PNC Bank N.A. (CO).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I closed on a home XXXX XXXX, 2016, and was entitled to an escrow refund of {$5700.00}. I have called the mortgage company twice now ( PNC Mortgage ) and have been told twice that the check is " in the mail '' but there is no way to track mailing - when the check was actually mailed ( " should have been XXXX XXXX '' ) - or where it might be because they do not have a way to track delivery. This is ridiculous. Surely there are faster and more sophisticated ways to process refunds, but I suspect PNC Mortgage will not do this because they have the benefit of holding on to my money for as long as possible and are not held accountable. It is completely unacceptable to tell me they do n't know for certain if the check has been mailed or where it is right now.

Consumer complaint received 03-06-2018 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (RI).
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint: Noticed in XX/XX/XXXX a series of fraudulent charges on our credit card ( four charges in total amounting to over {$4000.00} ). We contacted the bank ( Citi Bank ) immediately to dispute the charges and within a couple of days two of the four charges were taken off our statement. A couple months later we contacted the bank again to inquire as to why the other two have not been removed from our account ( ~ {$1800.00} ). The bank indicated that they were still investigating those charges and once they concluded their investigation the charges would be removed.

We contacted the bank in XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about those same two charges and their investigation, we were told that they would have to reopen our file under the old card number to review the charges. This tells me that they closed the file without doing any investigation into the charges and did not notify us of this development. 

Meanwhile, for nine months, we have been accruing interest charges on those charges. With the way credit cards work, we've been incurring compounded interest making this worse. This is now taking up almost {$2000.00} of our credit line and inhibiting our ability to make purchases as part of our daily routine.
