Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding a financing agreement I did not knowingly or willingly authorize, and ongoing issues with both the service provider ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) and the finance company ( Service Finance Company , LLC ). 

In XX/XX/year>, I had a water softener system installed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was quoted financing terms of 8 % interest and {$59.00} per month for 120 months. However, Service Finance Company later stated that I had agreed to the terms of 14.99 % interest and {$71.00} per month for 120 months, which I never agreed to. At no point did I consent to these higher terms, either verbally or in writing. 

Service Finance repeatedly contacted me to confirm whether I was happy with the installation, that it was complete, and if I agreed to the higher financing terms. I clearly told them of the issues I was having, and more importantly, I did not agree to the terms. Despite this, Service Finance pushed the loan through anyway, without my informed or documented consent. I then received a written notice from their complaint resolution team stating that I had agreed to the Truth-in-Lending disclosures and that the terms could not be changed. This is inaccurate and misleading. 

Additionally, the water softener system has had repeated functional issues since installation. I made multiple calls to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX for support, but was routinely ignored or told a manager would return my callyet no one followed through. I have documented six pages of detailed notes outlining the timeline of issues, unreturned calls, and failed service resolutions. I have sent certified mailings to both companies, but I have not received a response from either. 

I am requesting a full investigation into whether : The finance company violated the Truth in Lending Act by processing a loan I never agreed to ; There was deceptive or misleading conduct by either company. 

I am seeking a resolution that includes : The option to return the system, cancel the financing terms due to misrepresentation, and product/service failure. 

Cancellation or revision of the finance agreement with XXXX dollars owed. 

Assistance in holding both companies accountable for deceptive and poor business practices. 

I have eight notebook pages of documentation with dates that I could not scan to upload for you. I could copy them and direct mail them to you if you'd like. 

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I'm writing to dispute inaccurate late payment notations being reported on my credit file for an account that, to my knowledge and records, has been paid as agreed and never late. 

I want to be very clear here : I am requesting validation of these reported late payments, because as someone who monitors their credit closely and makes every effort to pay on time, this came as a complete surprise. If youre going to report something as serious and damaging as a late payment, it better be backed by clear, verifiable, and accurate documentation not vague data or automated reporting errors. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are required to report information that is 100 % accurate, complete, and not misleading. Reporting a consumer as late when they have not been late is defamatory, unfairly lowers credit scores, and can create real harm from higher interest rates to declined applications. I am not going to tolerate that on my record, especially when its inaccurate.

I have an open complaint and I have not heard back from the company for more than 15 days since I sent a second letter providing documents proving my identity. I mailed in documents XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> the USPS says it got delivered into the XXXX XXXX and therefore it has been more than 15 days since they have received my mailed in documents that they've requested since they can't find my credit history on their end. It's now XX/XX/year> and my credit score has gone down XXXX points, and I am extremely frustrated and this is reflecting poorly on my account when I have not TOUCHED my credit. The online Equifax portal is still showing no credit history every time I login and I can't unfreeze and I can't open a dispute in any way and the help center is no help at all.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
