Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I looked at my Transunion Credit report and found information that is hurting me financially and is also false information. I have several account being listed as " charged off '' meaning these companies should have issued me a 1099C form for tax purposes as the debt has been canceled out and is reporting as income to the Internal Revenue Service. I never received such forms from any of the creditors listed below. Since income can not be reported on my credit report then I demand these false, negative items be deleted at once as per the F.C.R.A.

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I have {$91000.00} in student loan debt with Sallie Mae. I did not graduate. I can not afford the monthly payments, which currently add up to {$1000.00} per month. About three years ago, I spent countless hours and days on the phone trying to get them to help me lower my payments, and every time they would propose a solution, put me on hold, and come back and say I dont qualify. I had no choice but to stop paying. They called members of my extended family in addition to relentlessly calling myself and my nuclear family, anywhere between 2 and 15 times per day. Just before they sent my debt to collections, I called one last time and they gave me a deal which capped my normally-variable interest rates at 4 % which brought my monthly payments down to {$510.00}. For the three years that plan was in effect, I was current. The plan abruptly ended in XXXX of XXXX with no warning, though they claim they sent a notice. I never received a notice. I called on XX/XX/XXXX, and was told to let my account go overdue, then call back and Id be able to speak to their hardship department about assistance. I called today, XX/XX/XXXX, and they listened to the recorded phone call from XX/XX/XXXX and admitted that I had been lied to and refused to help me, again claiming there is nothing they can do. This is ruining my life.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/ 2022 I used my Citi Dividend Card to make a purchase from XXXX XXXX for a backordered item and was told it would ship in 6-8 weeks. On XX/XX/XXXX I began reaching out to XXXX  via email, their online chat service, XXXX XXXX and left 2 different voicemails on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Nobody returned any calls, messages, emails, to respond to the status of my order. On XX/XX/XXXX I checked and the XXXX XXXX website was no longer working so I filed a dispute of the charge with my credit card company and explained I tried to contact the vendor but was unable to reach them to either receive an update or cancel my order and had not received the product. On XX/XX/XXXX they indicated they notified the company and that the company had 90 days to respond. On XX/XX/XXXX they rejected my dispute because they received information from the company that I made the purchase. I replied to the letter with additional attachments agreeing I made the purchase but that had not received the product and could not get ahold of the company and disputed the charge because I still did not have the product. On XX/XX/XXXX they " resolved '' my additional documentation by again rejecting my response and stating that I listed the incorrect reason for my dispute and therefore forfeited my rights to the dispute. I called and explained that my dispute didn't match any of their preset options so I picked one I thought was closest and that my selection did not change the fact that I did not receive the product and that they were supposed to protect me from this kind of fraud. They re-opened my dispute on XX/XX/XXXX then again sent a letter on XX/XX/XXXX rejecting it for lack of attachments that were provided to them on XX/XX/XXXX. I again called and they agreed to again review the details on XX/XX/XXXX. Since that call I have not received any additional responses or updates on my dispute claim, which has now been ongoing for over 4.5 months despite multiple calls, emails, and providing as much detail and supporting documentation as I have available to prove I have not received my purchase and reject the charge associated with the product not provided. I've attached the initial email from citi acknowledging the dispute and the email I sent with additional attachments but can provide all letters if needed.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I applied and granted a XXXX credit card co-branded by Barclays Bank Delaware and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was promised 30,000 bonus points after a minimum spending within the first few months and some more points for every dollar transferred. I never received the bonus points and all subsequent points from the credit card spending to my XXXX XXXX  reward account. I provided my XXXX hotel reward account number during the online application. When I called Barclays, the agents forwarded my call to Choice Hotels to fix the problem, and similarly Choice Hotel agents forwarded my call back to Barclays to fix it. Basically, someone didn't assign my Choice reward account number correctly to my credit card, so I could never receive the points. Both Barclays and XXXX failed to resolve the issue. I closed my credit card account on XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX points allegedly already sent to my XXXX  XXXX. The total points ' monetary value is {$200.00}. I suspect I'm not the only victim of this fraud.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
I am a student loan borrower that has successfully completed 120 payments and qualifies for XXXX XXXX XXXX loan forgiveness under the terms of my current student loan. Under the previous loan servicer I was able to update my employment history at anytime to certify my employment that ultimately approved my qualifying payments. My last qualifying payment for this loan was in XXXX of 2022. I finalized and submitted my last piece of documentation to XXXX XXXX ( old loan servicer ) in XXXX, 2022. I then received information that my loan was being transferred to MOHELA. MOHELA did not have record of my final documentation to forgive my loan. I created and sent an additional final document to MOHELA in XX/XX/2022. I am still waiting to have this processed or any useful information sent to me. There is virtually no way to contact MOHELA as wait times on the phone have been 2-3 hours on hold and I have had to hang up. They also say that my form needed 90 days to be processed. 90 days is 3 months of paying for a loan that I should have forgiven. I see that there are many claims of other customers that are in my same position. We all want our loans reviewed and forgiven or at least acknowledged as customers, instead of waiting 90 days for a form response. I know there is a government freeze on federal loans but I want this taken off my credit report so I can financially do other things with my life. I have dedicated my entire career to public service for this opportunity and it has now been 7 months of no information or ability to properly contact the company.
