Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 to be 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. 


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

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX my loans serviced by Mohela were placed on administrative forbearance and I was unable to make a payment. The agent with Mohela I talked to told me they did not know why the administrative forbearance was placed on my account. I was advised by Mohela to request to remove the forbearance so I could continue making payments so that is what I did. At this time I was less than 6 months/payments away from the 120 payments needed for Public Service Loan Forgiveness . In XXXX, I learned that my accounts with Mohela were placed on administrative forbearance by the Department of Education due to their mishandling of loan payment notification and other reasons. In learning this, I also found out that I did not need to make payments during those months ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX of XXXX ), those months would count towards my 120 payments, and if payments were made, I could call and request a refund from Mohela. In XXXX, I called Mohela and requested a refund for payments made in XXXX ( {$410.00} ), XXXX ( {$410.00} ), and XXXX ( {$120.00} ) totalling {$960.00}. That conversation concluded with Mohela telling me they were going to process my refund and it could take up to 90 business days to complete. I waited until XXXX of XXXX to reach out again as I had received notification that my loans had been forgiven. It turns out my refund was denied without any notification or correspondence. Since then, I have been given different answers, transferred to different departments who never answered, been placed on additional holds for 2+ hours, and other mishandlings. My latest correspondence was with a customer advocate from Mohela who was going to see what she could do. At this time, their hangup is that my account has been " closed '' because my loans have been forgiven. Their solution is to rebuild my account, undo my student loan forgiveness, issue me the refund, and they did not clarify next steps, give me any assurance that this would not mess up anything else, or explain how this could impact my student loan forgiveness that has already been awarded to me. I am frustrated with the process of connecting with Mohela, waiting for hours to talk to someone just to be transferred to another where I am on hold again for additional hours with inconsistent information and a lack of resolution. I was told 9 months ago I would be getting a refund for money I paid based on their ignorance or omission.

Complaint narrative:
It saddens me to say that my rights under federal law are being violated and not respected. The law isn't being respected either, this company has been hindering information on my credit file for quite some time. Congress clearly created the Fair credit reporting act to ensure consumers were being treated equally and fair. The law states under 15U.S.C.1681 section 602A I have the right to privacy. The law also states under 15U.S.C.1681 section 604 ( a ) 2 any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer of to whom it relates. I have never gave any consumer reporting agency permission to furnish anything on my report. I have been a victim of identity theft and in the fair credit reporting act the law clearly states under 15U.S.C. 1681 section 605Ba consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "
