Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have dealt with a few of the credit card companies, including XXXX XXXX who had been uncooperative at times with a negative item which had been on my report for 7 years. This occurred in XX/XX/XXXX, during which at this time I have established new credit. The negative item was on or around XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. I called all three credit bureaus trying to get negative inquiries removed, and all three were uncooperative, so I called XXXX XXXX an agency that helps remove negative items. I do not work full time I am on XXXX, I also had been receiving loan applications from the credit bureaus tempting me to apply, and I did for a few because of my credit card debt, I wanted to get a loan to pay them down and make one payment, they never told me that it would be a hard pull and it ruined my credit score. All of my accounts are paid on time. I also tried to opt out and they continued sending loan applications. I also have a complaint about the companies, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX who I have been a long time consumer. XXXX offered me a credit limit of {$6000.00} dollars and I have tried to get a loan through them and they turn me down because of my income which is from XXXX. Even though I have struggled I am a responsible person and pay them every month. I had called XXXX XXXX XXXX late at night and got a man on the phone who was more than rude, yelling at me saying that I did n't provide any information and that was a lie, I told him my name, and everything he asked I answered it, he continued to yell at me until I asked for a Supervisor. He apologized for the person 's behavior. Whenever I apply for credit, these are a part of the reasons, Proportion of revolving balances to revolving credit is too high. Lack of recent information on installment accounts. ( I do n't even have a current loan ) I had one in the past with XXXX XXXX XXXX and they never reported the loan as payed off. Another was, too many inquiries in the last 12 months. ( I explained that to a customer service person at one of the credit bureaus, I believe it was XXXX that I have an XXXX and am getting help in XXXX Not sure if they believed that but it is the truth. I mentioned earlier that I wanted to opt out because I did n't want to be tempted to apply for any new credit and that was the reason why. I have been treated unfairly with no resolution.

Company: Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX I started to monitor my credit and found out there was a loan that I did not apply for. The amount was for {$650.00} and was " opened on XX/XX/XXXX. I have recntly contacted this company by phone and spoke to a collections rep that was rude and would only tell me that the loan was done in person. I requested validation of this debt and the rep told me no to just pay the balance and that they did not have to validate. I sent letters to the bureau 's to get this taken off since it was not mine nor validated and they refused to take it off saying it was accurate. I spoke to all 3 bureau 's about this and none of them had validation with my actual signature on the contract. I then sent out validation letters to AD ASTRA requesting validation and they sent a copy of the contract with my name typed in. In XX/XX/2017 I sent a second validation letter letting them know what they sent was not validation but just an unsigned  copy. A 3rd letter went out 30 days later and no response.

Complaint narrative:
I went on a trip to Wyoming and the hotel was terrible so i wanted to have wells fargo get my money back and I used my debit card to get hotel ... ... ... .here is the information I had put in claim to try and have wells fargo help me ... ... .. {$470.00} dollars claims assistance center ATM/Debit card Claims XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC XXXX Wells fargo denied this and said they closed claim. I wasnt treated fairly and wells fargo said I had stayed at XXXX XXXX hotel all the time I was there which was only 4 days and so the swimming pool was always under maintenance and jaquizzi was never working until last day and maid service after 2nd day there was not good to standards because i had not got what i needed so couldnt take shower because no clean towels and also back door of hotel entrance to get inside to my room was not working last 2 days there so had to use longer route to room. Also I had a maintenacne guy finally bring me towels to room and then last day maid service was there but I could n't possibly know of what was going to be happening while staying there so weels fargo said that they made decision based upon that i had stayed there and i was there only 4 days and had to drive over 100 miles to XXXX Colorado to catch my flight plus return rental vehicle to so I though since i did n't know when all of things had started happening more after few days staying there that i wasnt going to ask for refund yet until i got back home and was very tired and miserable because i could n't sleep right half the time either and im a XXXX veteran so I 'm on a limited income also and cant just jump from hotel to another one that fast plus money and so i had all things starting to happen over course of all the four days there anyway so how come wells fargo cant help me to get my refund back ... ... .This had been a lesson learned to never ever get a hotel like that one. Also since wells Fargo bank said i stayed there well of course i had really no choices after it was occurring at different times for most of things that happened to me and so there fore i feel that I fully deserve a full refund from that hotel through Wells Fargo Bank and I cant control that hotel and time frames of when it all occurred.I know wells said I stayed there but it all happened at different times and 4 days is such short time to stay at any place ... ...

Company: I.Q. DATA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I live in XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX for almost five years. My lease was nearing expiration and I am a XXXX veteran and decided to relocate near my family in XXXX, XXXX. I wrote on my last money order to XXXX XXXX that I would not be re-newing my lease. When I did go to talk to the Leasing Office, they said I did not fill out the notice to vacate form. I did not know I had to fill out this form. It was in the fine print of my lease agreement but I did not notice that part. I begged and pleaded with management to not charge me for rent if my lease was up and I was actually moving. I have never been late on my rent or gave the management any issues. I was so upset when this showed up on my credit in collections. Not only did it showed up on my credit but my XXXX year old son, who is a college student. I am an XXXX veteran living on a fixed income. I can not afford to pay IQ Data Collection agency over {$2000.00} in charges and I dont think its fair that XXXX XXXX charge me this amount. My rent was only about {$1300.00} per month when I lived there. I am requesting that the company remove this debt from my son and I credit and allow us an opportunity to work this out with XXXX XXXX or walk away from this debt fully. Our lease was up in XXXX 2015 and that is when we officially moved out.
