Consumer complaint received 2024-12-05 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: Westlake Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I took out a loan to pay for services I purchased at XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the loan is serviced by Covered Care, Westlake Portfolio Management. I want to pay off my loan, and the website says that you can not pay off the loan online and must call. I called, and was told I could pay it off, only for them to change their mind halfway through the phone call and say that their policies JUST all of a sudden changed, and now I can't pay off the loan over the phone and must mail in a check or money gram. I asked to speak to a manager, and was put on hold for about XXXX minutes before the call unexpectedly dropped. Then, I tried to go on and make a large payment to at least limit how much interest is accruing and I am limited to making payments that can be {$740.00} maximally, when the loan balance stands at ~ {$4800.00}. The behavior of this company is to deliberately drag out the process of paying off the loan so they can maximize their interest accrual.
