Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX secured credit card. They have erroneously reported a balance on the secured credit card to XXXX, XXXX and Transunion. There is not a balance on the secured credit card. Unfortunately this reporting mistake has resulted in a lower credit score. I actually have {$620.00} of available credit ( my money Ive put on the secured credit card )XXXX XXXX  has incorrectly reported my available credit as a recurring debt. 

I have tried to communicate this with XXXX as well as Transunion and XXXX. Theyve asked me to file a dispute ; however, I already have another dispute in regards to a loan that has been paid in full, and I have been unable to file additional disputes. But my credit report errors are NOT occurring simultaneously but at different times. 

The only way I know about these errors is because Im paying for XXXX XXXX monitoring. 

Were trying to buy a house, and these errors are costing me money, time and frustration. 

Other than student loans I have no debt. I have {$70.00} in the bank. 

This credit rating system seems to be a joke.

Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
They claim this debt was on XX/XX/2022 and that I owe {$72.00} but I always pay my bills when they come in the mail ( from places I know I've been such as my doctors offices, etc. ) & I'm up to date on all my payments. It says very clearly on this CFPB website that they can not send this collection to my credit report until they've spoken with me about it directly ( my guess is that means over the phone ) or in-person, which no one has ever done. I would definitely remember that & it would explain what this debt is/where it came from. I have tried disputing this directly thru XXXX XXXX & they did absolutely nothing to help me.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
1. Due to local revaluation above lender recalculated my escrow payment component, increasing my total payment by {$240.00} to $ XXXX, effective with the payment due XX/XX/XXXX. I don't recall receiving the required notice by email but am not complaining on that basis. ____________ XXXX. Unaware of this, I automatically paid my historic balance a few days early. ( this was improperly applied to Additional Principal ) I received payment reminder calls saying my bill had not been paid. On XXXX I spoke with a phone representative and paid the missing {$240.00} and was told both would be applied to my monthly payment. 
____________ XXXX. Despite that payment being taken that day, it was not applied to my bill, and the online account reflected that I still needed to pay another {$240.00}, which I did alongside my regular payment. 
____________ XXXX. Due to the errors in Para. 2 and 3, a late fee of {$4.00} was incorrectly applied to my account. 
____________ XXXX I paid my XXXX bill a few days early in the updated, full amount, bringing my account more than current over the XXXX months since the monthly payment changed. Despite this, my bill reflected Incorrectly that I still owed over XXXX in past due bills. 
____________ XXXX. I spoke with an agent by chat on XX/XX/XXXX. They noted that payments would be applied to principal if made before the " due date '' of the first of the month unless they changed their system. They agreed to change my assignment defaults and recharacterize the old payments to correct the issue. However, that resolution was not processed on all of the payments as discussed ____________ XXXX. As of now, following the second customer service interaction to correctly characterize payments of the past 75 days, my XX/XX/XXXX payment is listed as Additional Principal, my XXXX payment is listed as " unapplied funds ''

Company: Source Receivables Management LLC

Complaint narrative:
Starting the middle of XXXX Source Receivables Management has been harassingly calling me trying to collect over {$300.00} on some XXXX  debt I am not familiar with. Before they started contacting me in XXXX I had filed a previous complaint about this company contacting me asking for someone else back in XXXX. Told them they had the wrong number but, they harassed me and forced me to file a previous complaint against them. Seems this could be retaliation by this company for my previous complaint against them.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my wallet was stolen and unauthorized purchases were made through my best buy credit card. Somehow, the purchases were made through merchants other than best buy ( e.g., wayfair, apple store credits, and so on ). I only received a notification via text about a purchase after the credit card was maxed out, which was how I noticed my wallet was missing/stolen. I called fraud services and they told me they'd " dispute '' the charges, but I come to find out about a month later that they just gave me promotional credit that would eventually expire. Furthermore, without my knowledge, my credit limit was raised by XXXX dollars, so the thief was able to get a lot more out of my card than I can pay for. What's more is I only have access to the purchases I made through the best buy app ( since I thought my best buy credit card could only be used for best buy ), so I can't even see the charges that were made that are making my balance so high without calling " security '' services, who I had also called and told me the charges would be removed ( which weren't ). What infuriates me even more is that, today ( XX/XX/2022 ), I got a letter telling me I'm responsible for a charge because the address matched, evdn though it didn't ; because the email and billing name matched, even though the purchase was made by a name that was not on my card and it was done online, and it was sent to my neighbor 's address ( since my wallet was stolen from my car when I arrived at my house ) through a device nobody in my house even owns. I called best buy credit card fraud services and they tell that another fraudulent charge will be held against me ( and twoore are pending but clearly the result will be the same ). My balance before the theft was about XXXX, now it's about XXXX, and neither best buy nor citibank have done anything to help.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
This problem began last year towards the end of XXXX. I saw my score drop almost XXXX points & knew something was wrong. Our mortgage company had falsely reported us missing a payment, so now I had an account in delinquency & for the first time ever : less than 100 % payment history. Immediately, we tried disputing this bc we knew it was incorrect. We got married last year, earlier in that same month, and we were actually ahead on our mortgage cause we paid more than we needed to that month or the month before ( just to be safe, since weddings can get expensive ). Neither the credit reporting agencies or our mortgage company have taken this error off my report since it happened, even though we have confirmed with our mortgage company that we didn't miss any payments & that our account is up to date. They've made this mistake multiple times since then, so much so, it now shows up as 3 missed/late payments. Since this happened last year, I've lost upwards of $ XXXX in credit card limits bc they would check my report, see the " delinquency '' and lower my limit, then my score would lower bc my utilization was higher ( due to the lower limit ) & when they'd check again routinely, they'd see lower score + " delinquency '' still & lower my limit AGAIN. I've been stuck in the financially debilitating cycle for over a year now & disputed time & time again thru XXXX XXXX with XXXX & equifax- no one will correct the errors. We have spoken to our mortgage company so many times now about this issue & I still can not understand why they won't correct their own error since our account is in good standing/we 're ahead on our loan/etc.
