Company: Credit Karma, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I found an advertisement for auto loan refinance on Credit Karma app. The ad showed my car specific made, model and year of manufacturing with 4.80 % from a company named XXXX. I filled the application and on the next day a man named XXXX left me a voicemail saying that I was approved. I called him and he verified all the info from my refinance application. XXXX told me that he needs to contact my current lender to get a payoff quote and then call me back. When i tried to confirm the rate he hung up. Few days later I got a text from him that he could not obtain the payoff quote and I need to get it myself. I did that and text him to confirm the rate of 4.80 % .he called me and offered a rate of over 7 %. He gave me XXXX to a different bank and that ran my credit without my consent. I tired contacting Credit Karma via live chat. I got a bot and I asked to be transferred to real person. I chatted with the real person and didnt get the appropriate answers to my issue. I asked if I am talking to a real person and didnt get the appropriate answer of yes or no.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX 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/updated. 

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. 

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!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted to freeze my credit with Transunion Credit. I completed all of the required steps and received an error message saying that they are having trouble verifying the status of my credit freeze. I am not comfortable with this as I need to have immediate ability to freeze and unfreeze my credit as required by federal law. I am afraid that am unable to verify if my credit is vulnerable unfrozen and also if I need to unfreeze it for a legitimate reason. This is a KNOWN ISSUE with this company for years and the subject of a class action lawsuit and still they are permitted to deceive customers. I will not tolerate this and demand an immediate resolution. I REFUSE to attempt to resolve this any further with Transunion as they only give customers the runaround. I also can not receive a copy of my credit report as required by federal law. I want access to do that too. Transunion needs to be investigated. I had zero problems with the other two credit bureaus.

The Company is denying me access to my account. Will not provide me any information on how to regain access or verify my identity in person. I have asked If I can physically go and verify my identity at their location with all legal documents and they can not confirm if this will be acceptable. there is no other way to recover my account with out receiving physical mail ... from an address that i do not have legal access to. I forgot my account number and lost my credit card. I believe that this is just a way to profit from the consumer by forcing them to pay interest on account that will eventually be recovered.

In early XXXX, I submitted a payment to Citibank NA. The law states that payments should be applied to the highest interest rate balance of the credit card As priority. 
Instead, they applied the payment to a term loan with a very low interest rate. Over the last four months I have been trying to have them correct their mistake and they continue to tell me that theyre working on it. Its not been four additional billing cycles and they have not taken care of this issue. I continue to be given the runaround by different managers and different folks in their call center.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ 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.
