Complaint narrative:
Venmo has frozen my account and is holding me hostage for {$160.00}. My boyfriend had sent me various amounts of money in XX/XX/2021 for groceries and shopping things. Now out of nowhere Venmo says my boyfriend disputed the charges ( which he says he did not ). Now instead of investigating the dispute they just assumed it was correct and have tried to take money from my account. I have sent many emails to them explain my boyfriend did not dispute any charges, he called his bank and they said they would reach out to Venmo, and he sent a support ticket to Venmo. Venmo has been extremely rude and unhelpful. How can they refund money sent with the comment groceries from two months ago.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am working with XXXX and TransUnion to resolve an issue with XXXX XXXX, the loan servicer who bought my student loan from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I have been paying XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX monthly since XX/XX/XXXX. This is the only account I need to make payments on, and my credit score has not improved despite my timely payments. After going back-and-forth with XXXX XXXX personally and filing disputes against them through XXXX and TransUnion throughout XXXX, one of XXXX customer service agents finally disclosed the problem to me. 

XXXX XXXX has been applying my monthly payments to the interest on my loan exclusively. This was never clearly expressed to me through an agent or the loan servicers communications until I spoke to them on XX/XX/XXXX. Their reasoning for this is unclear. XXXX XXXX claims I agreed to exclusively making interest payments instead of splitting my payments between interest and the principal loan, which is not true. I immediately began looking into my refinancing options, and then I realized their insidious plan to prevent me from escaping their clutches. 

XXXX XXXX applied my payments to my interest exclusively to prevent me from raising my credit score and having my loan refinanced by another bank. They altered my interest rate upon purchasing my loan from XXXX XXXX to ensure my minimum monthly payments only cover the interest, and my loan continues to grow exponentially so I owe them more money. There is no way I can get out of this because XXXX XXXX added remarks to my account for the credit bureaus stating that the bureaus are not to raise my credit because I am only paying off interest, according to a representative from TransUnion. 

I believe XXXX XXXX wrongfully led me to presume my payments were being applied to the principal and the interest on my student loan. Until this month, I was in good standing with XXXX XXXX. Now, I refuse to pay them until all my previous payments are applied to my credit score so I can have my loan refinanced.
