Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had an account with XXXX, and cancelled the account due to a move. They had on record that I did not return their modem, and charged me {$120.00} for it. The thing is, I returned the modem and have a receipt for the return and that it reflects no balance owed. 

They turned the account to collections, and it ended up on my credit reports. I successfully disputed it through XXXX by explaining and providing the receipt. I attempted to do the same for Transunion and XXXX but it was rejected after investigation. 

I would like to have the incorrect information removed, as it is inaccurate and damaging.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Was issued a credit card through chase bank in XXXX of 2019. Received aggressive promotional pre approved offer for another credit card. Membership fee was {$95.00}. I then applied for 2nd  card and was approved in XX/XX/2019. By XX/XX/2019, both accounts had been closed due to the additional inquiry I obtained when applying for their card. And also what they described as my being risky due to searching for more credit. Now I have two closed accounts and two inquiries that are negatively impacting me. They gave me the credit then took it away because I applied for a card that they pushed for me to apply for. And then when I asked for a refund of annual fee I was told I would not receive the refund. Chase does not care about their customers. If youre going to flag accounts for too many inquiries you shouldnt be aggressively promoting applying for additional products.

I spoke of this to the companies lawyers and yet she was still trying to collect XXXX from with with {$250.00} in court fees. I responded to please show me a legal binding contract with my signature. I also requested financial statements of the debt. Credit card statements are not validation of debt. I needed to see all the financial records to ensure the accounting is correct. I asked for a break down between principal and interest as to how they arrived at this amount of {$1200.00}. No one has validated my debt but here I am with XXXX kids, low income and being sued on a debt I have no knowledge of because this company has ignored my validation letters. This has caused me time of work and I just returned to work from having a XXXX. I have doctor bills that I cant even afford and Im being sued by this company that cant respond to my letters. Please help me with this so they can understand that this is not right. They dont care about anything but trying to take money from poor struggling families

Company: Franklin Credit Management Corporation

Complaint narrative:
Too who it may concern. This is my 2nd mortgage. I'm current on my 1st loan with XXXX XXXX who modified my loan. I fail behind a few years ago and I'm unable to catch up. I paid a 3rd party to help me modified this loan, however they took my money. I'm scared and don't want to lose my home. I'm the only one working and my wife and kids need a home. I reached out to Franklin Credit for help and requested a settlement. My request was denied so I applied for a mod. I was approved, however they requesting a down payment of $ XXXX which I can't come up with. I counter with $ XXXX and I was quickly denied and advised to pay the full amount. My relationship manager XXXX is very rude and aggressive on the phone. I completely understand I owe the debt but I'm not asking for forgiving the debt. I can afford the modification that was offered, however I can't come up with $ XXXX. I'm asking for a reasonable amount for the down payment so my family and I can stay in the property. Please help me save my home. Again, my first mortgage is current and I'm ready to start making payments on my 2nd mortgage.
