Consumer complaint received 2019-06-19 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Transunion & XXXX XXXX is reporting incorrect negative information on my credit file.I recently received a copy of my credit file and noticed that XXXX XXXX is reporting a collection on my credit from XXXX. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( hereafter referred to as FCRA ) Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), You are required by federal law to verify through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting service could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account.

Therefore, I am demanding to see verifiable proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed I am absolutely certain that the item is incorrect and should be removed, so I am hereby exercising my rights under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) to request a complete description of all methods used to investigate my aforementioned dispute.

I am asking for this verification because my credit score is important to me, and I believe it is being unjustly degraded as a result of this unfortunate error. I would therefore request that you please do not send me a template letter in response to this request. I am in the process of planning a legal case, so I need specific answers to the specific questions asked of you in this letter

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Getting a loan or lease — High-pressure sales tactics
Company: Fleet Financial, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I bought a new XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2016, the apr was very high at 17 % financed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I received a flyer on the mail from ilendingdirect with a refinancing offer and I called them. On the phone, I talked with some representative like 2 weeks ago, and he offered me very attractive numbers, like an APR of 6 %, a reduced payoff balance from XXXX to around 11k, a new monthly payment of {$310.00} ( compared with {$390.00} i was paying ) and the same remaining period that is from 36 to 39 months. I verbally agreed with these offers from ilendingdirect. Immediately after that, this man sent me electronic documents to sign and, without give time to read, he made sign and write down my initials on the parts he pointed me to do so. I was told that my new financial institution would be XXXX. 
After a few days I called XXXX And asked about my loan refinance status. 
They identified my loan, but they told me a totally different numbers. the new payoff balance raised up from XXXX to more than 14k, the new period of time from 36 to 54 months, the only true thing he said was the monthly payment ( {$310.00} ). 
I called ilendingdirect direct to complain, and the same man told me that I dont understand mathematics and even told me that i dont understand English. After these insults, i asked him to please cancel all this operation because I never agreed with something like that, and he said No because it has already been processed. 
I dont really make too much money in my job, and I was looking for some reduction help from 17 % APR to something better, I never thought i would ended up paying more money. I better stay the way my loan was before. 
They told me lies on the phone and made sign a different thing. 
I fell scammed and Im looking for help.

Complaint narrative:
My credit report reflects three consecutive mortgage lates back in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX of XXXX suggesting that I was late in XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX XXXX 30 day reporting ) I wrote the XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX disputing this report. I submitted both the credit report as well as my bank statement reflecting payments and dates for a full calendar year for both my XXXX XXXX accounts. I received a general acknowledgment response thanking me for my inquiry stating that I would be provided a response by XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter stating they were unable to determine my specific concerns. Additionally, I received a phone call that same day stating that they had resolution and basically reiterated what they show in their system. I asked them if they looked at any of my supporting documentation that reflected timely payments through my bank and that I thought they had an internal issue with how they applied they payments. This is consistent with how their statement reflects missing payments in XXXX and XXXX then multiple payments in XXXX. They admitted to not looking at the information and stated it would take more time. On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I received another phone call stating that they would not resolve my issues unless I submitted more supporting documentation. Since that time I have tried to get qualified for a mortgage on a new home and have been plagued with this inaccurate reporting. The new mortgage company that I have worked with has received very little cooperation from XXXX XXXX to resolve this as well. I am now stuck with the inability to get funding for a new home while in the process of moving. I believe XXXX XXXX has carefully walked the line in regards to being compliant with the FRCA, from a timing perspective, but has not done anything ethically to resolve the situation.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I received a preselected offer from Lowes synchrony Bank to apply for their Lowes Advantage card. 
I applied and was approve immediately. 
XX/XX/XXXX I was notified by a credit reporting agency that I had a closed card on my account. 
When I checked synchrony bank had closed my card. I contacted Lowes and they advised me that they rechecked my credit and found it was not satisfactory and closed my account. 
Not only did they approach me for their card which required a credit check. 
But they closed my account which was in good standing and payment was made on time? When they closed my account they again affected my credit score. I am deeply concerned that a credit card company can approve and close accounts with no reasonable explanation. 
I did not give them permission to do the credit check prior to closing my account. 
I am in the process of refinancing my home and had intended to pay all of my credit cards off, because of the credit checks it has an impact on my score.
