It's based on accurate info, and I'm not trying to deceive or manipulate the situation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX sold my loan to XXXX on XX/XX/year>. XXXXXXXX XXXX  officially took over the loan XX/XX/year>. During the transfer period, XXXX XXXX declared that I missed my XXXX ( XX/XX/year> ) mortgage payment ( even though they have record of my payment ) because they increased the amount due in escrow, and my automatic payment was for a lesser total amount. 

During the XXXX transfer of my loan, I was not able to pay XXXX XXXX the amount owed to escrow to supplement my XXXX payment. I also did not have an ability to pay XXXX as they had not set up my loan yet, it was still pending ( XX/XX/year> ). I was not told when the transfer to XXXX would complete. I was told not to do anything about this supplemental escrow amount by the customer service reps at XXXX XXXX as they said it would all work itself out in the transfer process and that it would not affect my credit. 

I wish to dispute this claim that I missed my XXXX payment, as I have record it was paid but not applied, and I had no mechanism to supplement the additional escrow. I can not dispute this claim however. 

When I call all of the phone numbers listed online for XXXX XXXX customer service, I get the same automated recording that asks me to give either my SSN or my Loan #, both of which result with the same response : " Your loan has been transferred to another lender, contact them. Goodbye. '' I can not get anyone on the phone to dispute this charge. I believe I, as a previous client of this lender, should be able to speak to someone to clarify this issue. I believe they are acting in bad faith with their lack of response to me to clarify a nuanced issue and the result is adversely affecting my credit report with lending agencies.
