Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I was the holder of a secured credit card with XXXX with a {$500.00} collateral deposit that I had paid. I used the cards many times with no issue. On XX/XX/2019 my balance was {$590.00}, I made a payment of {$360.00} which was withdrawn from my account. The very next day on XX/XX/2019 XXXX closed my card leaving me with a balance due of {$230.00}, since I had {$500.00} collateral, they deducted my balance due and refunded me {$260.00} from my collateral by check on XX/XX/2019 with check # XXXX. I thought since I had paid off the account that everything was ok until XXXX starting reporting late payments to all XXXX credit bureaus. Not only that, they stated that I owed them {$640.00}. I stated calling XXXX in regards to this issue and was transferred many times to different departments. I spend hours on the phone explaining the situation and no one could help me. I was asking XXXX to show me where the balance was coming from but each rep I spoke to stated that the only thing they could send me was a statement but the only thing the statement showed was a dollar amount due, it did not show where the charge was coming from nor could any of the representatives I spoke to could tell me why there was a balance. One representative from XXXX advised me it would be faster to file a dispute directly with the credit bureaus. I did in fact file dispute with each of the bureaus. Each time they would get back to me and say that the information being reported was accurate and that it would stay on my credit report. I did not understand how that could be so. How could they verify the information as accurate is I myself as the account holder could not get anyone to verify where the charge was coming from? It has been almost three years now that they still report a balance and showed as a charge off. This past week, out of sheer frustration and in an attempt to salvage my credit I paid XXXX the {$640.00} despite thinking it was really unfair as I did not owe this money. I only paid in hopes of restoring my credit and getting the account removed but XXXX is still showing my account. It updated to show as a paid charge off which is not any better.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I applied at US BANK for a business credit card on Monday XX/XX/XXXX and received an email on Weds XX/XX/XXXX that I was approved for a credit limit of {$3000.00}. When you apply you can not request how much of a credit line you need. It's a random number that's given to you by the bank. 
I called to get a credit line increase today, XX/XX/XXXX, and I was told by the Analysts Dept. at US Bank that in order for them to process the request to try to increase my credit limit they will need to pull my credit, again, after not even 5 days have past. And they can not move forward with the request unless they pull credit, again. 
I don't see how is this ok, since that already have my credit report from when it was pulled on XX/XX/XXXX. I blindly apply for a random number they give you and then they have to pull credit, again, a 2nd time just for them to try to increase it. If I knew they will have to re pull credit for a credit line increase after I had just applied, not even a week passed, I would have never done so.

State: VA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX & XXXX Check number XXXX was written to me by XXXX XXXX XXXX ( my wife ) on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I deposited the check to my Pentagon Federal Credit Union ( PENFED ) checking account, via ATM at XXXX XXXX, VA on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX & XXXX indicates the check was cleared on the same day ( XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). Subsequently the check was presented to XXXX  XXXX XXXX on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. PENFED received a PAID ( duplicate item ) adjustment from the Fed on XX/XX/XXXX and did a debate adjustment on XX/XX/XXXX. PENFED reversed the deposit while XXXX & XXXX debited my wife 's account. I have attempted to resolve this issue with both PENFED and XXXX & XXXX, without success, with both institutions indicating the other would have to act. Copies of the check with both the PENFED stamp and the XXXX  XXXX XXXX stamp are available upon request. 

The last time I physically handled the check was on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX when I deposited it in the ATM. How it was deposited a second time does not seem to be of any interest to either institution.
