Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I recently disputed a credit card transaction with a merchant that had overcharged me for a rental car. I contacted the merchant to resolve the issue but at the same time, asked my bank to also investigate. It turns out that when you do this, your bank lets the credit bureaus know that you have a dispute with a merchant currently being looked at but in the process, don't communicate the balance or the payment history to them of your credit card account at that time. As a result, all 3 credit bureaus dropped my credit score by XXXX points! Surely, this is illegal? Why would a dispute with a merchant result in my credit score dropping at all? In one case, the credit bureau dropped my score by XXXX points! I don't believe this is fair. I've worked hard to get my score up and due to what is clearly a flawed process, I have been penalized through no fault of mine. The merchant agreed that they were wrong and the matter has been resolved. However, my credit score has been severely damaged.

My mortgage was initially serviced by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Servicing was transferred to XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX, where I submitted a request for a loan modification.

I made my first two trial payments for XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. I tried to make my third and final trial payment in XXXX of XXXX, but the servicer 's system was not set up to take the last payment.

Company: TransferWise Ltd
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 XXXX Bank formerly Transferwise deactivated our business account for no reason or explanation. 

I have personally used wise for a few years and have had no issues up until this time. 

As we respected the service we decided to open up two business accounts for the purpose of acquiring property for a television series we are producing.

After de activating our account we immediately sent in all the required documentation, all updated from our Attorneys.

We have reached out to wise on a day to day basis for an update and have met all of their terms and conditions and have not found a reason why this is happening. They state on their web site we would receive some sort of update or notification within ten business days of the account being appealed, we are well past this date and still have not received any notice and they are holding over XXXX usd for no reason. Many people in our organization are counting on this money to survive and pay their bills. We have also lost a tremendous amount of money due to this.

Dispute Letter have been sent to XXXX on dates below : Equifax - 1st Letter XX/XX/XXXX - 2nd Letter XX/XX/XXXX - 3rd Letter XX/XX/XXXX It is over 120 Days i have not received any response or report of investigation. I feel like i am been taken for granted and they are taking advantage of the situation and they are depriving me of my right to dispute. 
Furthermore Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of FRCA Law states clearly that a failure to investigate these items within 30days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. it has been over 120days, so they should be deleted immediately and promptly.
