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: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to have these errors reviewed and corrected, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all necessary documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
These ongoing issues have caused financial hardship and negatively impacted both my credit and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been frustrating and emotionally taxing. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history, including the correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore requesting that your office take immediate action to update or remove the disputed late payment entries.

In addition, a negative account is being reported that I have already disputed. These errors violate the FCRAs requirement for furnishers and bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a XXXX XXXX credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA

Complaint narrative:
I used my Apple Card to book a vacation rental through XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/year>, but the property was fraudulently misrepresented. The listing featured staged and misleading photos that did not reflect the actual condition of the home. Upon arrival on XX/XX/year>, we found the property uninhabitable : dirt and filth throughout, a strong rotten odor that made us feel sick, no functioning air conditioning on the XXXX  floor ( verified by the companys maintenance staff ), broken couches that could not be used, and beds that were cheap cots rather than proper mattresses. 

We were forced to leave within XXXX hours, yet XXXX XXXX provided no alternative property and offered no remedy. I paid for the rental with my Apple Card, which processed XXXX separate charges of {$1900.00} each. XXXX  XXXX  approved my dispute for the charge on XX/XX/year>, and confirmed it would be permanently removed. However, the original charge on XX/XX/year>, remains unresolved, and despite over XXXX years of battling this case, XXXX  XXXX  has continued to deny my valid claim. 

This unresolved charge has caused lasting damage : it has negatively impacted my credit report, resulted in interest charges on my account, and caused significant emotional stress. 

Making matters worse, XXXX XXXX denied my claim on XXXX XXXX, forcing me to spend hours on the phone with support during the holiday. Altogether, I have spent more than XXXX hours on calls over this dispute, only to be denied fairness and resolution. This has caused not only financial harm, but also prolonged frustration and hardship. 

I have attached photographic evidence, text message communications with XXXX XXXX, comparisons to the false advertising, and the banks written confirmation of XXXX dispute resolution. This is a clear case of fraudulent advertising, failure to provide contracted services, and mishandling of disputes by XXXX XXXX XXXX I am requesting that the unresolved charge from XX/XX/year>, also be removed, my credit corrected, interest charges reimbursed, and a thorough investigation conducted into both the merchants deceptive practices and the card issuers dispute process.
