Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I must start with the CFPB is a godsend when assisting consumers. You helped me resolve getting insurance money that XXXX would not issue me BUT now XXXX will not correct a 30 day late payment that they assured me would not be reported to the bureaus. I 've spoken with the Ombudsman office several times and they tell me the same thing, that its been submitted. I 've called Transunion and XXXX ( which is another nightmare in it 's self because of 3 party language barrier ) but I can not get any resolve. XXXX has correct the XXXX XXXX 30 day late. But Transunion and XXXX when they try and call XXXX they get a different person every time and a different story every time. Neither Transunions nor XXXX will correct the XXXX late payment based on the multiple letters from XXXX to me. They tell me they must verify with XXXX and XXXX will not verify they reported it incorrectly when the bureaus call them. I have that in writing from XXXX with the letter dated XXXX XXXX. XXXX then sent me another letter on XXXX XXXX stating they did not report incorrectly but as a " courtesy '' will report it as current. None of which has happened. I luckily was able to refinance my home with a local lender but had to take a higher interest rate because of this error by XXXX. I have every right to sue them but at this point just want to be done with this despicable company and pray in the near future they will be dealt with by their many victims.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I had an overdraft protection feature on a checking account opened in XXXX of XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was XXXX at the time. In XXXX of XXXX it was reported as late and due to me being young and not financially sound I did n't pay some overdraft fees that totaled XXXX dollars. Several years went by and as a worked toward my professional career I wanted to get my credit in order. So in XXXX of XXXX, I checked all my reports and saw this XXXX charge I knew nothing about not remembering what it was from. I paid it immediately. However, my XXXX and FICO report is showing that I failed to pay for years which equals 65 months of failure to pay status on my report. This is literally tanking my credit over 250 dollars. The worst part is that due to the timeline it would have been better for me to never pay it off and just let it fall off my report after the 7-year limit but I thought I should pay what I owe. I do n't think it is fair to have 65 failure to pay statuses on my report when the bank writes off as a paid profit loss and then I proceed to pay it when I learn how to manage credit as a young adult. I do n't think it 's fair for the life cycle of this account to restart since I choose to pay off what was owed instead of letting it fall off the report. It 's doing a ton of damage to my report over 250 dollars from a XXXX. And again I PAID IT BACK in full to the original creditor.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On Sunday,XX/XX/XXXX, I received a phone call from someone identifying themselves as a representative of Synchrony Bank. The representative stated that my account was past due, and that I needed to make a minimum payment of {$100.00}. I explained to that person that I would not be making a payment, and hung up. <P/>On Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, I reviewed my payments through my personal bank, and saw that I have made {$40.00} ( minimum payments ) onXX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and my recent payment was done on XX/XX/XXXX. I also checked my files, and saw that I have not received a bill since XXXX ( shows a due date of XX/XX/XXXX ), which I am set up as a Paper Bill Recipient. The XXXX bill reflected aXX/XX/XXXX due date, thus showing the due dates to be on or about the XXXX of each month. <P/>When I called the bank, they explained that my account was past due, and a {$37.00} late fee had been assessed. They stated that no payment was made for theXX/XX/XXXX due date, nor did they show the two payments I made in XXXX. The payment I made onXX/XX/XXXX did not reflect on their system as of yet. <P/>When I explained that I made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX, they stated that the payment was made before the billing cycle, and did not apply as the XX/XX/XXXX payment. When I asked them why they show that I owed {$100.00} instead of a minimum payment, they just stated that the past due payment, the current payment, and the fee is the amount. <P/>When I asked why they do n't reflect the two payments in XXXX, they would not provide an answer. <P/>My complaint is, this financial institution is failing to record payments on accounts, and they are failing to record payments as that of the minimum monthly payment. Also, they are failing to send out paper bills advising the customer of the due dates. This practice is clearing a fraudulent activity and is done for the purpose of collecting additional money in the guise of late fees.
