Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was told by XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX there is a credit fraud alert on my credit report through Transunion that needs to be removed in order for underwriter to continue with the loan process for a house purchase. I was supposed to close last Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. I called Transunion to see if I can remove it on Friday XX/XX/XXXX and was told the online version wont work, the phone call wont work, and no other options for fax/email. The ONLY option was to send it in my snail mail. Given the fact I pleaded my case I was supposed to close on the house on Friday XX/XX/XXXX. The supervisor and the agent I was speaking could not help. I am at risk of losing my earnest money deposit of {$38000.00} for a house I thought I was supposed to buy last Friday XX/XX/XXXX. 

Since there was no other option then to send in regular mail. I sent Transunion priority air on Friday XX/XX/XXXX the items they requested. Tracking shows they should receive the letter today XX/XX/XXXX. Even with the letter arriving today they said it may take up to 5 business days to update the credit fraud alert. So potentially, we are looking at Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX when it is an issue that could have been easily resolved last Friday XX/XX/XXXX without the potential of losing my earnest money deposit or the house. I am quit disappointed in this process and has caused great hardship. 

The credit bureaus do not understand certain items are time sensitive and at times there are a lot of incorrect information on credit reports. I have never seen that credit fraud alert or the two phone numbers ( disconnected ) that were connected to the fraud alert. I only hope that the credit bureaus improve their process to allow for email/fax updates through secured/verified emails so this does not happen any longer.

I am sure this is one of many complaints, but this has been so outrageous and taking a huge toll on everyone involved.

PLEASE HELP US DEAL WITH MOHELA!! NO ONE can get through!! I have called for days straight and I am on hold for 2+ hrs plus!!! I can't get through and I am not the only one. This is absolutely unacceptable - we were all students and working to pay/deal with our loans. I am a working public servant - I serve my city. PLEASE hold MOHELA accountable for what they are doing, this is not right. We did not choose for our loans to be transferred to them. I am extremely worried and concerned for my loans and all those involved. 


They are purposely judging calls and not answering so that they can profit off student debt!!!
