Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the XXXX, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than XXXX days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I asked for my debit card to be shipped to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX but they shipped it to my address in Virginia. The card then had to be shipped to Colorado from Virginia by my boyfriend because Wells Fargo improperly delivered my card to the wrong address. I activated the card then realized it was missing and reported the charges. The charges were made by XXXX XXXX in Colorado which is a sports betting app and only works in that state. I do not have an authorized account with them and I notified customer service of this after which they closed my account. 

I ordered a new card to Virginia and as soon as I activated it funds were taken out of my account in Colorado. If they check the location of where I activated my card vs where it was used- it is evident that it was used in a geospecific location where I was not located. 


This was unauthorized use of my account and debit card. I have been unable to add my debit card to my apple wallet and I have called customer service to report this problem. They were unable to verify my charge. They can again check the IP address. Someone is making XXXX XXXX accounts using my identity and withdrawing large sums of money from my account. I can not use my card on a website in Colorado if it was activated in Virgina. 

Wells Fargo even sent me a notification that they think my username and password may have been published online by another website or service.

The customer service agent changed my username for me which is illegal and they are not supposed to do that on my behalf- check the phone records.

I called the claims agent and they were able to provide no information other than the card was activated and used. 

No advanced access code was sent for a suspicious XXXX transaction.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I was using my Sephora Visa Rewards CC, issued through Bread Financial, to pay my rent ( earn rewards ) and had an auto-pay through my bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) set up. Due to other cust svcs issues w/this card, I changed the card I was using and canceled the payment through XXXX ( received confirmation the payment was canceled. ) XXXX sent the pmt anyway ( {$2700.00} ) on XX/XX/XXXX, which created a negative balance on that XXXX of about $ XXXX. I called XXXX, and we got on a call w/the issuing bank ( Bread ) and asked for a refund immediately. I was told I would have the FULL pmt returned by XXXX. it is not in my account today. When I called the issuing bank, they said they could see I called but no one put through anything to effect the refund. The payment was processed a couple days after it was made, so Bread has been sitting on a - {$1800.00} - thats a NEGATIVE - balance for nearly two weeks. I was told today that they dont know when theyll be able to refund it, and I will have to call back to check on it because another dept handles it but evidently they couldnt transfer me to them. This is obscene for a company to hold such a massive negative balance. They told me I had to FAX- in the year XXXX (! ), FAX- some paperwork to effect a reversal of a fully electronic transaction (! )? I dont have access and said as much. I was given no timeline of when they will refund my money. I do not have {$2700.00} to just sit with someone else ( the actual payment to the correct creditor went out the same day, too, so I this is financially painful for me. Companies should not be able to hold onto money that is clearly sent in error. They had the actual audacity to suggest they would first deduct the $ XXXX minimum payment due today before refunding, and I said ABSOLUTELY NOT. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I called to open a dispute and provided the information the requested. Once I opened a dispute the merchant requested I return the product. I returned the product with the label provided by the merchant and they never refunded me. 

When I contacted capital one they then said that I shouldn't have used the merchants return label and I should have paid to send it back. I also should have requested a signature to prove they received it. I asked them to send me information outlining these requirements and they said that it wasn't available to me. I then asked where on your XXXX XXXX  XXXX does it say that and they said it doesn't. 

They then said it's a request from XXXX. I said ok can you show me where XXXX  outlines that information and they couldn't. 

So at this time I opened a dispute for a vendor not able to returning goods. Once I opened the dispute the vendor waited until the very last minute for the 30 day dispute time and responded to capital one. After that they then sent me a return label so I could ship the product back. They said that after receiving the product they would process a refund in 5 business days. It has been 2 weeks and I have no communication from the vendor and no way to reach out to them. Capital one said shouldn't have used their return label and I am out of luck.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 
This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 
Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
