Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
tried to request my annual free credit report from TransUnion. the Transunion.com site makes me log in over and over, but nothing happens. it will send me the verification code to the registered email, but after I enter the code, it just goes right back to login page. 

searching the web, it appears Transunion.com has been non-functional for obtaining credit reports, accessing one 's account, or freezing the credit report for more than a year. 

they are making it incredibly difficult for a consumer to obtain the federally mandated free annual credit report request. 

Calling their number and after going through a phone bot/maze, and then being placed on hold for an indeterminate amount of time is not acceptable.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I applied for a Synchrony XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX card. The application as immediately denied with no explanation why. On XX/XX/year> I received an email with a reference number XXXX and a link to receive my denial letter. I put in my current address zip code, as well as all other previous zip codes I have lived at. I did recently move on XX/XX/year> to a new apartment. I was unable to gain access. The same day, XX/XX/year>, I called XXXX and the representative I spoke to said Id also receive a letter in the mail. Today is XX/XX/year> and I have not received any correspondence and still can not access my results through the link. Synchrony XXXX did a hard pull on my credit report though. I want the hard pull removed, synchrony isnt following the FCRA rules so I see no reason why I have to keep a hard pull on my credit report while this company goes un fined and accountable for their actions. Id also actually like to receive my denial reason. I already reached out to the company and no one took the initiative to actually assist me. I also had recent change of address filed before I applied so even if the decision was mailed to a previous address I would have received it.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed 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.

This company never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.
