Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Hi so I recently filed a complaint regarding Transunion XXXX I reached out to them today as I have been trying to resolve this issue they transferred me to a supervisor which acknowledged they got my documents and complaint but still are refusing to remove negative items that I requested off my credit report that are unauthorized and unverified I made them aware that they were in violation with the law according to FCRA with them not providing the documents I asked to validate the information on my report. The supervisor specifically told me they are not required to valid anything because what Im disputing is factual information. I simply asked how can you verify something as factual with no investigation being complete so I am writing again to complain about the experience I continue to receive from Transunion. This is starting to really affect my mental health as no one is willing to assist with this matter they are failing to do this and are in direct violation with the fair reporting credit act.

U.S. Code, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. Section 604 states that all users must have a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to obtain a consumer report. 
Understand that I contest the reporting of the above noted inquiries and challenge for the demonstration of the confirm, physically verifiable proof of a validly acquired lawful permissible purpose, concerning an exactly identified consume who is/was factually identified as being me and only me. 
Please provide proof of permissible purpose by furnishing to me documentation of credit application with proof of signature showing that I indeed applied for credit with this company, elsewise delete the alleged inquiries immediately.

Company: Firstsource Business Process Services, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I was billed {$1400.00} I logged into XXXX the portal I am able to view and pay my medical bills through. I began making monthly payments on the bill above. That bill then went into dispute, or reevaluation for coding. So I only had made one payment toward that bill prior to reevaluation of : {$25.00}. 
I was XXXX with a XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX, accumulating more bills within my XXXX portal. I began paying monthly on them. I received an email stating that I was able to sign up for a program called XXXX where they would tell me what to pay monthly. It was listed as optional. I have attached the screenshots from that email. I decided that I knew my financial ability and status better than them, so I never signed up for the XXXX program. Apparently XXXX financial department automatically took that bill from XX/XX/XXXX and enrolled me in XXXX of XXXX, when the reevaluation of coding came through. By them enrolling me in XXXX, my bill of now {$1300.00} no longer appeared XXXX my XXXX portal where ALL of my other and remainder medical bills were listed and being paid on. So when I called in XXXX of XXXX to pay ALL of my medical bills in full that one bill of {$1300.00} was not included in the lump payment I made, unbeknownst to me. I had no idea I had a large medical bill removed from my XXXX and no idea it was not included in the lump payment I made to XXXX. So now as of XX/XX/XXXX I was sent to OneAdvantage collections agency for the {$1300.00}. I clearly was making good faith payments on all of my medical bills, never requested a third party to take over managing my bill collection and I attempted to pay all my bills in full on XXXX. I feel as though XXXX is deceptive with the XXXX program, especially automatically enrolling ONE of my bills in it and REMOVING said bill from the patient portal we are instructed to utilize. XXXX is suppose to be a one stop shop, until they remove your bills unbeknownst to you and then send you to collections for no payment.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Mr. Cooper requires you to go online to fill out a request for a Payoff Quote. The process ends up in requesting you to either select that you will pay a {$20.00} " preparation fee '' and receive you quote in the mail in 4-6 business days, or you can pay a {$45.00} " expedite fee '' and receive it instantly over the web. This is completely absurd that they're allowed to charge a fee to simply state how much you need to pay them, and is a junk fee that the Biden administration wants to end.

Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally report a matter of great concern related to my credit report. An account that I do not recognize, managed by a collections agency called IC System, has appeared on my credit report. I firmly believe this is a fraudulent account and it has negatively impacted my credit score.

I first became aware of this issue a few months back. Despite not having any knowledge of the debt, I contacted IC System to investigate. However, they have been unable to provide me with sufficient information to validate the debt. 

According to XXXX XXXX, the fraudulent charge first appeared on XXXX and is supposedly collections for a direct tv account. I have never had XXXX XXXX and, during the time period in question ( since 2018 ), I have been living in a relative 's home and would not and could not have signed an agreement for XXXX XXXX. This is fraudulent and IC System knows it. 

I have not entered into any agreement or incurred any financial obligation that could justify this account, nor have I received any form of communication or warning regarding this debt before it appeared on my credit report. 

I understand the serious implications of credit fraud and the profound impact it can have on an individual 's life. Therefore, I kindly request your assistance in this matter. Please treat this case as a potential fraudulent activity, and help me in rectifying this issue as soon as possible. 

As required, I have also sent a dispute letter to the credit reporting agencies, challenging the accuracy of this information. I am also keeping a vigilant eye on my accounts and credit reports for any other suspicious activities. 

I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter, protect consumers ' rights, and take appropriate action against any fraudulent activities. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I applied for financial hardship assistance through the Barclays US website where I have a credit card account. In the past sixty days, I have endured {$17000.00} in unexpected house expenses ( new HVAC system and a major plumbing issue ). On XX/XX/2023, I received an email from Barclays that stated I was eligible for assistance. I went to their website, signed into my account and read the offer specifics. I was very pleased with the offer and checked the box agreeing to the terms of the offer. When moving to the next page to schedule the payment, an error message appeared and said for me to call a specific number to finish setting up the assistance plan. From XX/XX/2023 to XXXX, I talked to five different Barclays customer service people, none of which could figure out the issue. One of the associates I spoke to on XX/XX/2023 placed me on a ten+ minute hold and then told me he had everything all set up and that I would see the changes on my online account on XX/XX/2023. He lied to me. When I checked my account on XX/XX/2023, it was the same as always so I called again. This person informed me that an error had been made, that I should not have received the offer for a long term assistance program because my account was not past due. I am devastated at this and feel that Barclays should honor their offer. I am attaching copies of the initial email I received and screenshots from my account that shows their offer.
