Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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: NY

Complaint narrative:
XXXX has failed to send out consistent payment reminders. They claim that they did their due diligence to reach out but I do not receive any correspondence. They claim to have sent out letters but we do not receive written correspondence. They have different emails on file and none of them are correct. They also call from unknown numbers that are marked as spam and do not leave any voicemails, therefore I never know who is calling me and for what reason. They also have it documented that they do not leave voicemails when I call and I have been told in the past that they are not permitted to do so. 

My credit score, and the credit score of my co-signer, has dropped significantly due to XXXX reporting late payments. But I am unsure how they expect payments to be made if they are not sending out notices to the proper sources of contact and are not leaving any sort of voicemail correspondence. We spoke with them as of Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX, and they have claimed that they did their due diligence to reach out but this is highly inaccurate as every ounce of information is wrong. 

In addition, an agent from one of the calls made on Wednesday offered to send information via email to file a dispute through a credit union. It is now Saturday and that email has still not been received. I called twice Thursday to follow up. Thursday morning at XXXX XXXX I was told that they will be sending it to an email that should not be on file - I asked them to change the email and they said that would be a 24-48 hour process to change it and then another 1-2 hours to send out the email with dispute information. I said to leave the email as is so I could just get the dispute information. I called again on Thursday at XXXX XXXX as information still has not been received. I was told that this was due to not being signed up for email notices ( no one mentioned this to me in the last two calls ) and that they would set that specific email up for it. I was supposed to receive an email within a half hour from that call confirming some setting changes and then the dispute email in another 1-2 hours. It is Saturday morning and I still have not received that information. I will be calling again Monday morning as soon as they are available and will have to call every two hours if the email isnt received.

Company: Bridge IT, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I had signed up for this company a few months back when I was teacher. I lost my job XXXX months ago and pushed my loan repayment off. I recently just started another job and opened a new account. This company without permission or authorization, somehow found my account that was never given or linked to them to take money from it which was bill money. I dont understand how they can even do that when real banks do not even do that. I did not authorize the payment or give them access to my new account so I honestly do not know how they got that information and I will be investigating further on that specific part of the incident. My complaint is that they went into an account I never gave them access to to take money that was not authorized and they are not being helpful. The government does not even steal money and access accounts without permission. I NEVER GAVE THEM MY ACCOUNT INFORMATION so how were they able to find it and access? I am also filing a police report for theft.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX XXXX  to inquire about the XXXX fund that was allocated to and my husband to help in a loan modification process. The reason I called was because my new servicer freedom mortgage stated they could not locate the XXXX fund that was received, the fund was never transferred to my new loan servicer though it was received On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX contacted XXXX regarding the receipt of mortgage assistance funds in the amount of {$60000.00} from the XXXX XXXX  Assistance Fund ( XXXX ) agency. XXXX XXXX was advised that XXXX received and forwarded said funds to the XXXX Department for processing. ( Per prior complaint response from XXXX made in XXXX. ) the fund was never transferred and XXXX confirms receipt to the XXXX department on XX/XX/XXXX per XXXX. 
The fund was received prior to transfer and was never transferred and cause a delay in my partial claim process. The new servicer freedom mortgage is not willing to wait for the fund and sent me a modification which will cause my interest rate to increase. The XXXX fund would have allow me to benefit for a partial claim which would have caused my interest rate to remain the same. 
It seems as if this is plan by both mortgages to increase my interest rate especially for freedom mortgage to benefit more from my loan. 
I have been asking where is the fund, XXXX has no record of the fund being returned to them. XXXX is unable to tell me where is the fund. 
Freedom mortgage sent me modification paperwork to sign 14 days from XX/XX/XXXX.
