Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I made a single application for a new Citi Bank Credit Card. I already have 2 business accounts and a personal account with them. The application was denied online so I called in to see why and was told I would get a letter. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter stating in part ... '' We're unable to approve your application because we couldn't verify some of the information on your application. '' I called back on XX/XX/XXXX and ask what they could not verify. The agent told me she could not tell me and then transferred me to a supervisor that said the same thing. I explained that I already had other accounts with no issue and how could I provide documents or whatever was needed for them to be able to verify my information. The supervisor told me there was nothing they could do and it would stand at denied. Since they did not base their decision on my credit, but something else, I asked how they could XXXX ) request my credit in the first place and XXXX ) not allow me to rectify the situation. It wasn't until I logged into XXXX to dispute the inquiry did I discover they pulled my credit twice on the same day.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and 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 reported to be removed/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.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against TransUnion for their failure to properly address my dispute regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. 
On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to TransUnion requesting an investigation into inaccurate items on my report. To help TransUnion verify my identity and address, I included a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address. 
However, I received a response from TransUnion dated XX/XX/year>, stating : We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a credit bureau is disputed by the consumer, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. 
It appears that TransUnion has violated my consumer rights by not conducting a reasonable investigation upon receipt of my dispute, which they are required to do in accordance with the FCRA. 
I am including a copy of my dispute letter sent to TransUnion, along with TransUnions response as proof.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to receive my credit report from Experian for the past week. I applied for a bank account and was denied. I later received thru XXXX a letter stating the decision was based upon info provided by Experian. When I went to Experian website to request a free report I was directed to complete and download their app. I downloaded the app to my android phone and was warned my phone resolution was not supported and it may no work properly. After several unsuccessful tries I finally got the website to accept my data on my laptop. later I received an email requesting I finish my registration membership by activating my account. Clicking on the complete setup button took me to the Welcome back screen to Sign In. Clicking on that button took me another screen I thought would complete my request clicking on Get Your Free Credit Report took me another screen request Account Verification. 
Completing this screen and clicking on the Submit Secure Order takes me to a screen that said We have encountered an irrecoverable system error. Please note that your order has been canceled. Sorry about the inconvenience. 
Call us toll-free at XXXX This is the number I call several times. 

The only thing it does is state the XXXX options to receive a report, online or verbal instructions which is back to these steps and the same site. I need to see what Experian has on file in my report. Because of this I placed a XXXX XXXX on XXXX as well as XXXX. There is XXXX items seen on my XXXX report that are recent entry 's as well as a recent phone call. I have good reason to believe someone has gained access to some of my personal information and is attempting to use it to commit fraud with it. Only by continued search I located this site and a number for Experian where I could place a Fraud Alert on my Experian report which I did. I just hope the initial XXXX year alert is actually placed on my report.
