Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
Transunion refused to remove the Child Support public record account from my credit report. This account was declared Unconstitutional by the Supreme Court XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( 2024 ). If Transunion wouldve done there investigation it would clearly show that the court removed this account because it was Unconstitutional. Furthermore I disputed this account with TransUnion after the Court notified me that this account was unconstitutional. Therefore Transunion failed to remove this account even though it was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and The Court and County that then possessed the account. Child Support should not be showing on Public Record with TransUnion and I want it removed immediately. By law it has to be removed anyway for failing to conduct a proper investigation for accuracy per my request.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

I recently took a loan with spot loan for {$800.00} and have since that in a really bad financial situation where Im not working. Ive been asking people for help and then I learned that the interest rate they were charging me which is 460 % is illegal under Ohio law and I was told to contact the company and advise them of this and revoke my ACH and offer to pay back the principal only however the company is being difficult as it seems like they are nothing more than a loan shark. No one in this country should be forced to pay such ridiculous interest rate and something needs to be done about this. They act like theyre a tribal lender, but I didnt go to the tribal area to get a loan. Im in the state of Ohio, where Ive always been its just a ploy to try to fleece people out of money.
