Complaint narrative:
Hi, I opted out of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX reporting because TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX keep inaccurately reporting that I have a bankruptcy on my credit report. This is causing me emotional distress and it is blocking me from getting funding for my business and finding housing. 

TransUnion keeps saying that they verified the information, telling me that SOME SOURCE ( will not tell me who ) is still reporting that I have a bankruptcy even though I opted out of them and what they are reporting is not accurate. 

I have a letter from the MA bankruptcy court that they do not release that information so there is no way for any reporting agency to verify this. 

In XX/XX/XXXX I requested to be opted out of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX In XX/XX/XXXX I got a letter from the MA bankruptcy court that they do not release this information ( therefor it is impossible to verify as accurate ) in addition to me requesting that XXXX XXXX not share my information. 
In XXXX XXXX I sent letters to TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX to remove my bankruptcy since they can not verify it On XX/XX/XXXX TransUnion revealed an investigation dispute that they verified a bankruptcy on my credit report as accurate, but they will not tell me who they got this information from and I opted out of all reporting agencies back in XXXX.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX for apparent violations of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), which I believe may constitute securities fraud. I am deeply concerned about the denial of my credit application by XXXX XXXX, as I assert my rights as a consumer under the ECOA. 
Violation of Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) and TILA : I, as a consumer, am protected under the ECOA and TILA, which prohibits creditors from discriminating against applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or age. I believe that the denial of my credit application is a direct violation of my rights under this Act. 
Securities Fraud Implication : Denying credit without valid reasons may be indicative of securities fraud, as it potentially misrepresents the financial standing or creditworthiness of the consumer. Such actions can lead to false information being provided to investors and shareholders. 
Consumer Rights to Credit : The extension of credit is a fundamental consumer right. Denying this right without clear and justifiable cause not only violates my rights under the ECOA but also raises concerns about fair and ethical lending practices. 
I request that XXXX XXXX either returns my credit application unendorsed or proceeds with the consumer transaction as per my rights. I believe that any denial of credit should be based on valid and non-discriminatory factors, and I request a thorough investigation into this matter. I kindly ask the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this complaint and take appropriate action against XXXX XXXX if any violations are found. I am also open to providing any additional information or documentation that may assist in the investigation. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a resolution that upholds consumer rights and ensures fair and transparent financial practices.

Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
We subscribed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for our home in XXXX, Florida for a period of time during XXXX After an in-person consultation, we agreed to do a basic service focused on keeping our lawn green and provided a credit card for payment. The service went on as planned, but we noticed areas in our lawn where their services did not result in the intended improvement. The Manager sent folks out for additional treatments on these areas as a result. There were no extra charges as these were a remedy for their lack of performance. At some point during these extra treatments, their dispatch team decided to also send people to put down other treatments. Since they often visit during the hours we work away from the home and were coming by frequently, we didn't check with them each time to see what the treatment was and whether it was something we agreed to. Browsing my credit card statement one day, I noticed that they had been double charging my account vs. the agreed upon price across multiple months. Their phone team claimed it was an issue on their end and said it would be refunded. Over the next month, it wasn't and then they transferred me to a different representative when I called. That person said it was for additional services that I signed up for and when I said that we hadn't signed up for anything, they said that their notes said we did and it was up to us to pay them. We absolutely did not want anything other than the lawn fertilization and should not be held responsible for the poor management of people by their local team.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Nelnet has violated the terms of the loans for which I applied through FAFSA and should be removed from the federal government 's list of approved loan servicers. I have XXXX  children who are full-time students, and their loans are in my name. The terms of my loans are that they are deferred until six months after my children graduate. Both children are enrolled as full-time students, and there has been no interruption in their status. I received a past due notice from Nelnet regarding my loans. This is an error on Nelnet 's part. They have verbally acknoledges this. Whoever governs loan providers should take action against Nelnet because : 1 ) Communicating with Nelnet is nearly impossible for the average person. While I have been able to wait on hold for more than an hour and a half several times, the average person likely does not have that flexibility. They list a " chat now '' feature on their website, which does not " chat ; '' it refers the consumer to their contact page. On the contact page there is an email address which auto-responds that it will take them a really long time to get back to the consumer. Calling the phone number has put me on hold for over an hour and a half three times. 2 ) A customer service representative, acknowledged that this never should have happened and stated that she would process my " request. '' I asked her send me an email confirming that this was the case to ensure that I have documentation should this affect my credit score. She stated that this was all internal and that she could not send me documentation. 3 ) I understand that mistakes happen and that communication with a large consumer base poses logistical challenges. Nelnet 's mistake in this case could affect my credit rating. And, they should be legally obligated to enable consumers to communicate with them in an efficient and timely manner. Their status as a loan servicer should be revoked until they are in a position to actually service consumers.
