Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> I authorized a charge of {$4500.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XX/XX/year> I was informed that they lied about the services they could offer me. I immediately told them I would not be doing business with them, and that I wanted a refund. They said they would work on processing it. 
XX/XX/year> XXXX  XXXX XXXX processed refunded {$3600.00} of the original {$4500.00} to me. They stated that they were not going to refund {$850.00} because of the " work they had done ''. This is a lie, they provided me with nothing but wasted time and lies. I received absolutely no help or services from them. 
XX/XX/year> I opened a dispute with Citi for the remaining {$850.00} XXXX. I provided the all of the proof that the XXXX XXXX lied regarding their services, and that I received no services. 
XX/XX/year> I receive a very basic automated notice from Citi that states my dispute is resolved in favor of the merchant because " I received services ''. 
XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX, 2024 I contact Citi multiple times to have this dispute re-opened and resolved correctly. There is sufficient proof for this dispute to be resolved in my favor. The representatives I speak with transfer me to the " dispute XXXX ''. This person says they can't do anything and that we " need to wait on the investigator '' and that I " should receive a response in the next 7-10 business days ''. 
XX/XX/year> I receive another very basic automatic notice from Citi that states my dispute is resolved in favor of the merchant because " Without a valid credit slip, we are unable to intervene on your behalf with the merchant or their bank. ". 

This dispute has been ongoing for over a month. Citi doesn't seem to care about the customer. I have been a customer of theirs for many years, and have excellent credit. None of that seems to matter. They will lose a long time customer over what should have been a simple dispute to resolve.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Against TransUnion for Denial of Access to Credit Report Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for its refusal to provide me with a copy of my credit report, both through its online system and through the platform at XXXX Despite my legitimate requests, I have been denied access to my report, which is a violation of both state and federal laws governing credit reporting and consumer protection. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681g, I am entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the major credit reporting agencies. XXXX refusal to provide me with my credit report through the legally mandated platform is in direct violation of this federal law. 

Furthermore, under Texas Business & Commerce Code 20.03, consumers in the state of Texas have the right to access their credit reports, and credit reporting agencies are required to provide these reports to the consumers when requested. TransUnion 's failure to comply with this state law further exacerbates the situation. 

In addition to my attempts to access my credit report online, I called TransUnion directly and requested a paper copy of my report to be sent by postal mail. However, this request was also denied, and I have yet to receive any response. 

I request the CFPB 's intervention to ensure that TransUnion complies with both federal and Texas state laws by providing me with access to my credit report as required. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information to process my complaint. I look forward to your timely assistance in resolving this matter.
