Complaint narrative:
I received a charge back on purchase a Customer had made.. without explanation. They debited this amount from my account, sent it back to the customer who had already received his product. and then locked my account until I paid them another {$200.00} to regain access. In order to pay this balance I was forced to make a second venmo account. I immediately contacted customer service and asked. them to use the balance that I just put in a new account to cover the overdraft and then to delete the extraneous one as it had served its purpose.. Several weeks go by. and I have continuous problems getting. money off of the platform. Their promise that I can move my money to my bank account Not realized. Can't send money to paypal. Can't send money to personal wallets. Can't send money to my bank account. It's trapped inside of Venmo and then they lock my account. Froze it permanently. They told me that they can not give me an explanation why and that they may or may not give me back all or some of my money in 180 days, but that i will never be allowed to use the venmo service again ... as if Id continue after this. 

this has caused extreme hardship for my family as my wife was XXXX  from her job because she ran out of gas on the way to work. we couldnt pay the power bill and lost an entire refrigerator and freezer full of food ... and then couldnt buy more. 

Twice Venmo took the word of the customer at face value and without consulting me removed money from my account and gave it to the customer .... and then expected me to pay it back... so now im out double the money and the item that was sold and delivered. and then to add insult to injury... they stole the rest of my money and crypto and locked me out.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against TransUnion for their persistent inability to process my dispute requests online and their failure to correct inaccuracies on my credit report within the legally mandated timeframe. 

Despite numerous attempts to submit my dispute requests through TransUnions online platform, I have been thwarted every time. These issues have persisted over several months, with multiple follow-ups and repeated attempts to resolve the matter proving entirely ineffective. The online submission process consistently fails, preventing me from addressing significant inaccuracies in my credit report. 

Furthermore, TransUnion has failed to adhere to the 30-day deadline for investigating and correcting disputed items on my credit report, as stipulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This prolonged delay in resolving inaccuracies has caused significant distress and inconvenience, potentially impacting my financial standing and opportunities. 

The inability to utilize the online dispute process and the extended delays in correcting my credit report are unacceptable and indicate systemic issues within TransUnions handling of consumer disputes. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to take immediate action to address these concerns and ensure TransUnion complies with all relevant regulations and standards. 

Given the gravity of this situation, I request the CFPB to investigate TransUnions practices, enforce compliance with the FCRA, and provide guidance on how I can ensure my dispute requests are properly processed and resolved. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt and effective response.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I trust this correspondence finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a troubling discrepancy within my credit report concerning late payments associated with my accounts. Upon meticulous review of my report, I have identified instances where late payments have been inaccurately recorded, adversely affecting my credit standing. Upon contacting the companies linked to these accounts, they acknowledged a fault on their part. They have committed to rectifying the error by updating and amending my accounts to accurately reflect my payment history. They attributed these inaccuracies to a system glitch that led to the erroneous reporting of late payments. It is perplexing to me that while other credit bureaus have already rectified the status of these accounts, your bureau continues to report these late payments. This disparity in reporting raises doubts regarding the verification protocols employed by your bureau to ensure the precision of reported information. Please update the accounts to reflect correct status : XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX
