Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 
So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( XXXX ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX  - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX / XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX "

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  - XXXX. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
This company does not allow me to pay my credit card over the phone anymore and therefore my payment will be late this month. Their automated phone system asks for info I don't have multiple times like a PIN # or an extension number to reach someone to make a payment and if I get out of the automated system I'm stuck on hold for XXXX minutes. I'm unwilling to wait that long to give them my money. I stopped paying by mail a long time ago because it took too long to arrive and XXXX time it never got there. I don't use any online banking either. Here 's the deal. I entered my SS # or account # and it still won't allow me to make a payment. I used to be able to make these payments because the system recognized my phone number. Now nothing allows me to use their automated payment system or will allow me to connect to a XXXX who can take that payment. Now my payment is a couple days late. This is now a company I would recommend never doing business with no matter how good their offers looks. Anyone can look online to see the issues in both their insurance and banking business now under investigation or class action lawsuits to understand why I am warning everyone to stay away from this company. You can get much better rates on insurance by finding a good insurance agency in your state and you can find local and better banks and credit unions too. As for credit cards I highly recommend XXXX card over USAA. I can always pay my bill over the phone with them in under a minute.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I deposited a check for over {$5000.00} and the bank held the entirety of the funds for an extended period. 

The general policy allows for partial funds to be used via debit card and electronic payments. However, there was a hold placed on the entire balance preventing me from accessing my money in a timely manner. 

I believe that this is a discriminatory practice, against people who are low income. 

I have made regular direct deposits into the account and have maintained the account for multiple years. 

I think this hold is an infringement on my ability to access my finances as I need to do so in an emergent situation. 

This is unacceptable, and the financial institution should be held liable for any distress that this has caused.

Company: EdFinancial Services

Complaint narrative:
I have already paid of one of my loans back in XXXX and suddenly on XX/XX/XXXX this loan is again posted of {$7000.00} on my account. I have called customer service and they have stated " this may have been a technical difficulty as it seems you have finished this loan payment ''. I am very disappointed with Edfinancial because this is the second time I am experiencing technical difficulties with my loan repayment. My first time was setting up auto payments back in XX/XX/XXXX. I have made a complaint back then and then everything was resolved. I have been very diligent about repaying my loans and have gone above and beyond for repayments. Edfinancial is scamming me to make me pay more. This is very unethical and can be taken to the court of law. I have all evidence that I have paid my loan. This needs to be fixed and my repayment amount needs to be accurate before serious consequences start arising. 

I called Edfiancial on XX/XX/XXXX and have uploaded bank account statements as well as letter of completion of Loan this day as well.
