Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was denied credit ( a credit card ) by a bank. The bank cited " high debt '' on my Transunion credit report. This was very disturbing, as I have zero debt. 
I called TransUnion@XXXX. The automated service hung up on me several times and I was unable to speak to a live associate. 
I then logged into TransUnion.com. Their website does not make it possible to receive online a copy of my report due to a denial of credit. 
A Transunion associate " chatted '' with me, but refused to provide me immediate access to my credit report. -- They only agreed to snail-mail me my own report. 

The problem is as follows : the lender was granted immediate access to my report. its my data -- why am I ( or any consumer ) being told to " wait for snail-mail '' to receive our reports? -- After all, its OUR data. Further more, reports sent via snail-mail are less secure, and could be subject to being mis-delivered, exposing me to potential credit fraud if someone were to receive my physical credit report.

Company: MOHELA
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX I submitted my final Employer Certification Form to fulfill my 120 payments for PSLF forgiveness, initially Mohela did not count these payments because they falsely evaluated my ECF to be a " duplicate form '' rather than a new form from the same previous employer. Finally in XX/XX/XXXX that issue was corrected and on XX/XX/XXXX my payment count for PSLF was updated to 121 on both Mohela 's site and Federal Student Aid site. I also requested on my ECF that my loan go into forbearance while awaiting discharge and that has not been reflected on my account, despite being told by a customer service rep over the phone this had been completed. Now I am recieving messages from Mohela about my account going into repayment this month. Finally, I was told it could take up to 90 days for discharge to take place and it has been well over 90 days and Mohela continues to tell me it is awaiting information from Federal Student Aid despite their counts having also been updated over 90 days ago to reflect over 120 PSLF qualifying payments. I am supposed to be leaving my employer in XXXX and will not be able to afford the current IDR payment that I shouldn't have because I have completed all requirements for PSLF. This is causing a financial hardship for my family.

This was first opened as an XXXX XXXX AAdvantage account in order to get miles for flying. I was never able to use the miles so decided to close the account. I paid it off in XX/XX/XXXX and assumed it was closed. 

When I received a bill for {$50.00} user fee for XXXX, I called to dispute it. I was told the account wasn't closed and I still owe the fee.

BUT I still owe the {$50.00}. I told them I will NOT be paying it. 

I started getting daily phone calls giving directions for making a payment. The calls have been coming daily, even Saturday and Sunday. 

Please be advised this is beginning to look like XXXX ABUSE. I do not owe this fee and am fed up with the daily phone calls.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Equifax, a credit bureau, failed to provide an opt-out notice as is required by all financial institutions, in which I, the consumer, have the option to opt-out of having my information shared with unaffiliated third-parties. Thus, any unlawful use of my nonpublic personal information without full disclosure and consent constitutes identity theft. 

On XX/XX/, Equifax received my Notice of Identity Theft along with the required personal identification information per 15 USC 1681c-2, requesting that Equifax block the reporting of five ( 5 ) unauthorized adverse transactions from my consumer credit report. Equifax failed to comply with the statute and with my requests by failing to block the reporting of unauthorized information identified by the consumer no later than 4 business days after receipt of notice.

Equifax continues to unlawfully use my personal and financial information which included the sharing of information to unaffiliated third-parties that adversely affected my creditworthiness and resulted in defamation of my character and general reputation. 

Despite three ( 3 ) written notices sent via certified mail, Equifax continues to report damaging unauthorized personal and financial information on my consumer credit report.
