Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with TransUnionwas never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


TransUnion Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I requested the " School Misconduct Discharge Application '' from Navient ( who serviced my private loans ), but they said no. They said that because my private loans are already paid-off, those loans no longer qualify. 

This does not change the U.S. Department of Education 's findings that XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX made widespread and pervasive substantial misrepresentations that borrowers relied on to their detriment. As discussed in more detail in the executive summary, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX misrepresentations related to graduate employment rates, graduate salaries, the schools ability to connect students to employers, and the provision of ongoing career services after graduation. 

Because of these findings, all of my Federal loans ( which are still in repayment ) will be discharged, forgiven, and all payments I made over the last 20 years refunded. 

Just because my private loans are paid-off, should not disqualify me from getting those loans refunded as well. They make it sound as if - had those private loans still been in repayment, I'd have a chance at getting the application to fill out - and potentially have a chance at have the private loans discharged and refunded as well.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Request for Immediate Validation or Removal of Disputed Account MRSBPO ( Original Creditor : Spectrum ) Dear [ XXXX, Experian, XXXX ], I am writing to formally dispute and demand immediate validation of the XXXX account ( Original Creditor : XXXX  ) listed on my credit report. The account details are as follows : Account Number : XXXX Account Type : Collection Balance : {$170.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX ( Experian ) Last Reported : XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX ( Experian ) Account Status : Derogatory/Collection/Chargeoff I dispute the validity of this account as it does not belong to me. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681, you are required to ensure the accuracy of all information reported. In accordance with the FCRA, I request that you validate this account or remove it from my credit report. Specifically, I demand : Original documentation proving that I authorized the opening of this account. 
Records showing any payments or transactions made under this account. 
Verification from the original creditor, Spectrum, that I am responsible for this debt.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S.C. 1692g also mandates that any collection agency must provide validation of a debt when requested. Reporting unverified or inaccurate information constitutes a violation of both the FDCPA and FCRA.

Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) requires that the credit bureau must stop reporting the disputed account until it is verified. If you can not provide verification of this account, I demand that it be removed from my credit report immediately, as is my right under these laws. 

Please provide written confirmation of your investigation within the 30-day period as stipulated by law. If this account is not validated or removed promptly, I will escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and take further legal action if necessary. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
logged into my account citibank, my remaining balance is different from what the bank sees on transactions unfortunately, is no understanding of us looking at the same transactions but me having a different remaining balance. Transactions seems like theyre being posted twice or late there than usual and also the transactions are not adding up correctly with the amount started in my account I even had an ATM spew out no money, complain about it and never received any word back or any investigation. In fact they close the investigation the next day, reaching out to me about anything. The worst part is the customer service. Youll get lucky if you find someone whos understanding and willing to help.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I received notification of a data breech from XXXX XXXX with the suggestion to place a credit freeze with Equifax which I was told I could do free of charge. On XX/XX/2024 I tried to open an account with Equifax online. At the end of the process I received a screen that said my account could not be completed and to call Equifax. I called the number but the automated system would not connect me with a person. I tried several times, choosing different automated options to speak with someone. Finally it sounded like I would be directed to a person but then I was asked to enter my mobile phone number. I DO NOT HAVE a mobile phone. There were no other options, I was redirected back to the automated system - not an operator/person. I have been left with no way to contact anyone at Equifax except to write a letter which will take days and leave me vulnerable to identity fraud in the meantime. 
I am writing to Equifax at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX but meanwhile my social security number is compromised and I can't fix it. This is totally unacceptable.
