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: CA

Complaint narrative:
Credit score negatively impacted when a consumer voluntarily closes a credit card account.

A few years ago I needed to build my credit and only qualified for some less-than-desirable cards with high annual fees or monthly fees. I have since rebuilt my credit and have maintained a {$0.00} balance for the past 2-3 years, but am still being charged high fees. I have not closed these accounts because I have been told this will severely impact my credit score.

I am asking this to be changed.

I would like to keep open the low- to no-fee cards I have now qualified for, but close the high-fee ones without hurting my credit score.

Can this be done?

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, Experian gave my credit report to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who did not have permissible permission. For 5 years, I have repeatedly requested the copy of the permissible permission used by XXXX and Experian. This led to a loan that I did not sign nor have possession of the vehicle. XXXX and Experian sent the attached undated and incomplete application as proof of permissible permission that was even completed after my credit report was pulled. I constantly requested the valid permission used by Experian who just passes the buck to XXXX and who then constantly replies - " At your request to conduct a reinvestigation, we contacted the data furnisher ( s ) or public record ( s ) vendors and asked them to verify the accuracy of the information with which you disagree. They responded and stated that the account is to remain as is. The result summary was sent to you on XX/XX/XXXX for review. ''

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage was originally with XXXX and was transferred to Mr. Cooper. When they transferred the data, they didn't transfer my mailing address and SSN correctly. In the mailing address, the street name and number are missing. In the SSN, I have no idea what number they are using, but I am sure it's not mine. 

I have been trying to update this information for years now, with no luck. They ask me to signup online to make the changes, but I can't signup online because the system is asking me for the wrong SSN, which I don't know. I've called them many times, sent them letters and emails and yet, I have not received one statement for the last several years, so I have no idea of what the numbers in my account look like.
