Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I sent a dispute letter reporting to the three Bureaus to seek verification about my credit report. I strongly believe that my report 's information is inaccurate, hurting my credit score tremendously. After a couple of weeks, I received a letter from TransUnion on XX/XX/XXXX stating that I must call to verify, even though I spoke with a representative and was told to write a letter with my ID and utility bill to dispute items. XXXX sent back the results and told me they were going to investigate. And I haven't gotten any written letter back from XXXX, and it's been 30 business days since I sent this letter out to all three bureaus. I've been told by law if there is incorrect information on my credit report, it must be removed immediately. This is hurting my chances of getting my dream house and dream car.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I opened a XXXX rewards card. In XXXX  I was sick and couldn't work for some time, so I couldn't make some payments. I called the customer service of the card to inform them why I could not pay, so the payments accumulated and the interest grew. They were difficult times for me. The account was closed on XX/XX/2019. During all that time there were calls and letters arriving at the house about the amount owed on the account. I never intended not to pay. As soon as my health was recovering, I returned to work and also began to pay the debts. On XX/XX/2019, I received a letter explaining that the company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX would take care of my debt instead of BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE. And of course I also called them and talked to them about my clear intentions to pay. On XXXX XXXX they sent me a letter offering me that if I paid {$880.00} my debt would be fully paid. I contacted them and again they repeated the same offer over the phone and assured me that all the debt would disappear. So I made the decision and paid them the agreed amount of {$880.00}. I complied with the agreement but when I check my credit report now I see that despite all my sacrifices to improve my credit and bring all my cards to XXXX debt Barclays bank delaware continues to report me negative and with late payments and debt with them and this continues to affect me. I contacted them and the response was to continue that negative report for 10 years because I paid an agreement, not the entire amount. How could this happen? They put the amount of the deal and told me that the debt would disappear completely, they never said that in their calls and they did not write it in the payment agreement letter for the total amount of {$880.00}, settling the debt. I need you to please help me in this because it is not fair that after we made a deal and I paid them they do not comply, I feel that they are laughing at me in my face, I know it was my duty to pay them and I sacrificed myself and them pay what they asked me. I need help on this because it's not fair what they did to me.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block the accounts that are on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have received a response from Sears/Citibank in response to a complaint I made against this company. This response was also copied to you. Case # XXXX. Because this is Citibank, they were allowed to Police themselves and to send to me a condescending response in which they did Not address my complaint. My complaint had Nothing to do with discrimination of which they seemed to want to concentrate on. My complaint was in regard to the Promotional Interest free ( within 18 months ) purchase I made. When I called to set up the Promotional Payments, they agreed to the terms I asked for in order for me to pay this balance off by the expiration date. I knew I had to continue to make payments on my regular account balance, but they NEVER informed me they were going to add that purchase into my regular account. Since I made that purchase, they have deceptively raised the required payment on the existing balance I had, and have charged me a higher interest rate on that balance, as they stack an additional interest balance on the side, in an attempt to cause me to not be able to pay this promotion off, by the expiration date. I do not understand why these companies are allowed to treat consumers in this manner. I am asking that you inestigate this matter yourselves, or is their no protection for consumers after all. I do not have Citibank money, but I do have a Brain, and I do pay my debts. I think what they are being allowed to do is absolutely foul.
