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

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
With about 18 months left to pay on my two consolidated loans, I received a message from Navient in XX/XX/XXXX ( attached ), saying there was a change in loan terms. The payment was cut in half, approximately, but the loan term was extended to 40 months from XX/XX/XXXX. I did not request that and find it puzzling. Since my loans were nearing the end of their terms, the total additional interest was about {$120.00} over those 40 months. So, not a life-changing amount. 

Then for my final payment, which was less than the auto-pay amount, about {$8.00} was left on one of the two loans. Puzzling again, since auto-pay won't activate for future payments on a balance less than {$50.00}. I didn't receive any communication about the final payment, so I manually paid the remaining balance.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
READ SLOWLY AND THOROUGHLY! In response to my CFPB complaint ID XXXX and XXXX, American Express ( AmEx ) failed to address -- on every single piece of information provided to them -- my complaints, and they now allege I owe them a balance. Additionally, they have changed my communication preferences to allow postal mail from them, when I did not give them any permission to do so. First, AmEx was told that I am not the one who made the abusive phone calls to their customer service professionals -- my late husband made those calls, who was an authorized user on my accounts -- meaning, he had legal permission to speak to AmEx -- and I, therefore, provided his death certificate to substantiate what I am asserting. AmEx did not so much as acknowledge that the basis for my complaint is that I am not the one who made the calls. If AmEx has proof that it was me, personally, and not my husband, who made those calls, I invite AmEx to provide that proof. Otherwise, AmEx is to address the fact that I did not make the abusive calls ; those were made by my late husband. Second, AmEx states I owe them money on my individual accounts that were closed -- and this is false. I paid my accounts in full when they were closed, and they have been reported as a zero balance on my credit reports for more than three years. If there is any balance due on my individual accounts, I assert that AmEx is falsifying and fraudulently claiming I owe money. Lastly, AmEx sent me an email dated XX/XX/year>, updating my communication preference -- to allow for them to communicate with me by postal mail. I made no such request to change my communication preferences. This change violates my privacy rights, because I specifically stated to AmEx, previously, not to contact me. If AmEx has proof to substantiate where I asked to receive postal communications from them, I welcome them to submit that proof. Otherwise, AmEx violated my privacy and communication preferences in an abusive and deceptive manners -- without my permission.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
Citi bank promotes its credit card at the time on the XXXX XXXX website encouraging you to sign up and receive a {$250.00} statement credit when you make a purchase today. I completed the application and was approved. I clicked the icon to receive the temporary card number to make my purchase today and the website asked for a code theyd text to me. I put that in and the system said it was correct but then instead of displaying my temporary card number, they just load my account home page. I have no way to use this new card today to make the purchase. I called and requested the temporary card number and was told no one can provide me with it for data safety. This is a bait and switch. The offer was to save {$250.00} by applying and booking today but I am now being told I need to wait for the physical card to arrive to make the purchase. I am not able to wait for the card because I was booking travel for next week. I also shouldnt have to wait 10 days as airfare increases as time passes ; if someone reads and offer to save {$250.00} today, they shouldnt then have to wait 10 days to make that purchase. The statement credit is only valid after you make a purchase for XXXX XXXX airfare.
