Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am at a loss as I have tried reporting an inaccurate credit score drop with TransUnion regarding a 65 point drop for a credit line increase. The {$500.00} increase was provided to all consumers of my financial institution for the Covid-19 pandemic, as a stimulus, without soliciting for it. Again, the increase was a courteousy increase and absolutely no credit inquiries were performed as part of this increase. I notified my financial institution on XX/XX/2020 to express my concerns about the increase adversely affecting my credit. I was assured, by my financial institution that it should not adversely affect my credit score since no credit inquiries were performed. However, on XX/XX/2020, I recieved an alert from my credit monitoring service that my TransUnion score dropped. My score dropped a whole 65 points solely due to the {$500.00} increase, no other CRA reduced my score due to this increase. I assumed this was an error and would fix itself since the balance of that credit card that was increased is and has been at a {$0.00} balance for the past 6 months or more. In addition, all credit line balances I have open were also reduced significantly and no new adverse entries were added. However, it is now XX/XX/2020 and my TransUnion score still reflects the 65 point reduction. To add insult to injury, TransUnion complaint line goes unanswered when you call and the online complaint option does not allow for a unfair credit score dispute. I have no idea how or why TransUnion reduced my score so significantly. I want answers and for my score to return to its rightful status. I have not worked this hard to maintain my credit profile for an eroneous computer glitch or intentional score resuction to tarnish my credit worthiness. I want TransUnion to investigate how and why this happened, correct their processes/procedures that allowed this to happen so that it does not happen again and adjust my credit score back to it rightful standing of 734 or higher.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
When disputing two online purchases, on my business preferred ink credit card, which were never received, the Chase dispute department mishandled the case and did not hold the merchant accountable in providing documentations. 

Both transactions were for the amount of {$2500.00} totaling {$5100.00}. 

The first transaction was processed on XX/XX/XXXX for a half deposit of {$2500.00} for the purchased goods, and the second transaction of another {$2500.00} was processed on XX/XX/XXXX for the remaining order. After making the payments, I was charged a 3 % processing fee by the payment processor. 

I never heard back from the company after the payment was made and never received my purchased goods. 

After disputing the fraudulent transaction with Chase, they denied a fair case as they did not request any information from the merchant. They declined my dispute and did not uphold their purchase protection program on their business preferred ink credit card.

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. 

I am distressed that you have included the below information in my credit profile and have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. 

Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. 

Therefore the following information needs to be reinvestigated. I respectfully request to be provided proof of this alleged item, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature. Failing that, the item must be deleted from the report as soon as possible. 

These accounts are reporting information that is not allowed pursuant to FDCPA, FCRA, and US Bankruptcy code. Please delete all negative remarks about these accounts immediately, as that information should not be reporting.

The listed item is completely inaccurate and incomplete, and is a very serious error in reporting. Please delete this misleading information, and supply a corrected credit profile to all creditors who have received a copy within the last 6 months, or the last 2 years for employment purposes. Additionally, please provide the name, address, and telephone number of each credit grantor or other subscriber.

At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major Credit Bureaus ( Equifax, XXXX  or XXXX  ) this action might constitute fraud under both  Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for at least the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2020, Experian emailed me a notice that 3 GOOD things happened to my credit and when I checked my score they ( EXPERIAN ) had decrease my credit score by 3 points. The 3 GOOD things that happened are 1 ) The credit limit on one of my accounts INCREASES. 2 ) The credit balance on one of my accounts DECREASED. and 3 ) The credit usage on one of my accounts DECREASED - All GOOD things to improve my credit score, however Experian DECREASED my score by 3 points. 

Previously on XX/XX/XXXX Experian reported my score to be 3 points higher.

I can not find any means to contact this company about my scoring of my credit.

I seriously have my doubts about the accuracy of their credit scoring and wonder if it is a scam so that they can sell their services to increase credit scores.

I believe the government should look into the practices of these reporting agencies which have become just another marketing scam.

I have my doubts if I can ever increase my credit score under these types of practices.
