Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am in the process of buying a home and will be making several high debit charges for money orders and certified checks. I contacted Ally to increase my debit card balance. I was told by a representative that a request would have to be submitted and that the review takes 3 business days. Also, I was told that this increase would be temporary and that the debit card increase, if approved, would only last 3 days. This is problematic because the XXXX debit will be 7 days away from the XXXX debit. This policy will likely result in me not having access to my funds and will delay my closing which in turn will cost additional expenses for me.

Complaint narrative:
I have a case of identity theft listed on my credit report from XXXX totaling {$350.00}. I disputed this information and it was once removed from my credit report and now the reporting agency has added the charge back onto my report causing my credit score to drop drastically. I did speak with someone at the company and they gave me the address to where the services were set up using my identity and I am familiar with the person that lives at the address. I explained this to the credit reporting agency and they advised that they may be able to help me. I think it is unfair for them to a resubmit the collections after it was removed once before by the credit bureau.. Especially since it is not my debt in the first place. 


Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to prove that XXXX XXXX XXXX is trying to collect on a debt that is uncollectable. Because the debt is Unverifiable accordingly to the FCRA. If a debt is unverifiable and the original credit is not trying to collect the debt and has not hired a collection company to collect the debt. Then it can not be collected in my case I use to stay at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I moved out of the complex and the owners XXXX XXXX XXXX sold the property and handed all old account over to the new owners. So, they had no obligation after the sell of the property to collect the debt. The new owners which is XXXX XXXX XXXX has not hired any debt collectors to collect on this debt. So, therefore XXXX XXXX XXXX has not right to try and collect on a debt that they have not been hired for by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Nor should they be able to collect on a debt in which XXXX XXXX XXXX is not trying to collect after the sale of the commercial property. I have a audio recording with me XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX my personal consultant, and XXXX XXXX XXXX employee talking about the collection efforts on this debt. Also, I have a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating they are not trying to collect on this debut. I have a case file already on XXXX XXXX XXXX but they know their company is in violation of my rights so they want talk with my personal consultant about this debt anymore. They will not answer back to the CFPB case I file on them already. So, I want to deal directly with the Credit Bureau 's myself in removing this debt off my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
My credit was used for someone in a country where I do not live to obtain a cell phone and service contract. I received an email today welcoming me to XXXX which prompted me to contact the company with the phone number, account number and billing date to find out why I received the email. After three phone calls, XXXX service reps and about 2.5 hours of waiting and talking, I learned someone walked into a XXXX store and opened an account using my maiden name. The company claims that XXXX forms of identification, matching signature and a credit check are required to open an account. One agent claimed the account must be opened in person, while one said the account could be opened over the phone and no one could confirm how the account was actually opened. I am awaiting a return call from the fraud dispute center at XXXX within the next two days, but in the meantime the rep stated they would not provide any further information to me regarding the account because I could not pass the security identification for access to the account.

Complaint narrative:
On-line, I placed credit freeze at TRANSUNION on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX due to identity theft. Paid a {$10.00} fee using a credit card the police report would not be available for XXXX to 7 days after making the report. On phone, was told by a TRANSUNION representative to send the police report by FAX and request a refund of the {$10.00} fee. Faxed the police report and request for refund on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, a TRANSUNION representative stated that I would not get a refund because the police report was not submitted concurrent with the online transaction. The TRANSUNION website XXXX displays a table listing the XXXX provisions regarding credit freezes. Under XXXX victim, the entry is as follows : State Requirements Fee Information Add Lift Remove XXXX Identity Theft Victim Free** Free** Free** **In order to be eligible for free Security Freeze services, you may be required to provide proof of eligibility by mail. Click here for more information. 

The 'click here '' leads to the following information : " If you believe you qualify for a free Security Freeze due to identity theft you must supply our office with a copy of a Law Enforcement report alleging identity theft that has been filed with your local law enforcement department or the XXXX. 

If you believe you qualify for a free Security Freeze due to your age, please send us verification of your date of birth with your Security Freeze request. Acceptable forms of verification include XXXX of the following documents that show your date of birth : a birth certificate, driver 's license, state identification, or some other legal document indicating date of birth. 

If you are a resident XXXX and have documentation XXXX from the court, a law enforcement agency, a licensed medical or mental healthcare provider, or social worker, please provide our office with a copy of the document to receive your security freeze free of charge. '' Mail : TransUnion LLC XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX I explained to a TRANSUNION representative that XXXX refunded a {$10.00} fee the day after receiving a faxed police report. My understanding of XXXX law in this regard is that a refund is required. A TRANSUNION representative stated that if I had made the freeze request by phone, the TRANSUNION representative would have suggested a no-fee credit fraud alert until such time as I had a police report. Therefore, my {$10.00} fee would not be refunded. 

I believe that TRANSUNION has engaged in deceptive practices in this matter.

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my Trans Union Credit Report, I noticed the there was XXXX account listed as XXXX XXXX Mortgage XXXX XXXX Showing a 30 day or more later payment. I called Trans Union to clarify this being XXXX XXXX Mortgage XXXX. 
I Have a mortgage with this company. I knew this information was incorrect because I pay my mortgage every month without fail on or before the XXXX of every month. I also knew that I could prove that this transaction takes place every month, because it is paid from my bank account. 
I then filed a dispute with both the credit bureau and XXXX XXXX XXXX, Providing both of them with my bank statements for the past 12 months showing my monthly payments without fail. 
One month later Trans Union sent me a copy of my credit report with the same information showing. I then called Trans Union to ask why it still showed a 30 day late payment and was told that Trans Union does not except bank statements as proof of payment and that the information would remain until XXXX XXXX made the correction. 
This negative reporting on my credit report has impacted my credit score greatly. It is unfair that Trans Union would except false reporting from a company, and then refuse proof of payment by the consumer. 
I ask that this be looked into further please.

Issue Unable to get my credit report or credit score : Problem getting my report or credit score Describe what happened so we can understand the issue ... 
When I went to the Free Annual Credit Report website and provided my information " TWICE '' it got to the downloading report message and just stayed there. Nothing was ever down loaded or shown on the screen. I attempted to contact the company but they have noting but a phone look and no way to talk to anyone to resolve the problem. I am afraid my information is out in cyber space somewhere for others to see and I am afraid my credit score has been negatively affected by trying to access my report twice. I believe there is some false information on my report and that is why I was trying to access it along with we are looking to buy a home and wanted the information for that purpose. A phone number is needed for customer service so people can contact and speak with a human to resolve a problem. I even tried obtaining a phone number from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to get a phone number for customer service from the Free annual credit report and they did n't have any other than what I had.

Complaint narrative:
Tried to get free credit report, was unknowingly signed up for their monthly service ; was charged {$1.00}, which they claim they can not refund in spite of the fact that I called them immediately ( no more than 5 mins ) after I created an account on their site. The charge is only {$1.00}, which is small enough that most people will ignore. However, thousands of people do this and thus the credit company makes a lot of money by cheating you out of a buck. They also offer no way to delete an account, I was told I can only " deactivate '' an account and they would not absolutely confirm that my account and associated information ( including credit card info ) would be deleted.
