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

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of this year I was attempting to buy a XXXX XXXX. I had asked the dealership to not run my credit because I already had a bank that I wanted to use for the loan. However, even though I did not authorize it, the dealership ran my credit anyway. I ended up finding out several weeks later when I received some letters in the mail telling me I was not approved for the loan. I was extremely confused because I knew I had not authorized these inquiries but also because the notices told me that I had a very high credit score. In fact, I had an XXXX credit score! Needless to say, I should not have been denied this auto loan but I didn't have the time to go back and forth with the dealership about it at that time. A few months later I decided to look into this issue and requested my credit reports but I have not received my reports from TransUnion and XXXX XXXX XXXX even though I have ordered them at least 3 times since XX/XX/2020.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Changes in terms mid-deal or after closing
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a loan under my business name with the dealer. The application I completed was a business application through Suntrust Bank. I signed the application as a guarantor for the loan. I later found out that Suntrust bank put me as a cosigner and not a guarantor and the debt now show up on my personal credit report. 
I didn't apply for a consumer car loan, I applied for a business car loan. Suntrust Bank misrepresented the loan product and my credit has been impacted because of it. After speaking with several different departments, Suntrust said this is their standard practice. It's not legal to misrepresent their products to secure a new bank client.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have called Midland Funding several times to try and resolve this matter. The last time I call I was laugh at me on my offer and hardship. I dont see where a hardship is a laughing matter. 

1. The response I got was unprofessional and unclearly uncalled for.

2. A hardship in any form is NOT a laughing matter.

3. I was left on hold for 45 minutes when I ask for a supervisor to complain about the representative. 

Right now times are hard for everyone and bein laugh at and treated like dirt all because I ask for a low settlement is not right. 

Midland Funding needs to work on the customer service skills.

Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Complaint against Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. Approximately seven weeks ago I applied for a VA home loan. At the time, I informed my mortgage banker I would be retiring and that my income source would change from my employer to several public employees retirement systems, but that my income would actually increase. I provided Wells Fargo the verification they requested that proved what my retirement income was going to be, and that the first payment would be approximately 30 days from my date if retirement. The payment would be retroactive to my date of retirement and continue throughout my life. Six weeks into the application process, I was informed that Wells Fargo guidelines require a deposit of my anticipated retirement check into a bank account before the loan would be fully approved. 
I questioned this requirement, since it meant my loan would potentially not be fully approved until a month, or more, after the scheduled closing date of escrow. Additionally, the Wells Fargo guidelines appeared to violate Title 38, section 36.4340 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which require a lender to consider anticipated income when underwriting a loan. Moreover, 38CFR36.4340 specifically addresses a service members anticipated income and it is to be considered the same as current income. There is no deposit requirement. 
As of the writing of this complaint, Wells Fargo has only conditionally approved my loan pending the deposit of my retirement funds. They maintain their position that full approval will not occur until I submit a bank statement showing the deposit of my retirement checks. Their failure to comply with the above-cited regulation has created a significant hardship for me and my family and I believe Wells Fargo is violating federal regulations. 
Thank you.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I recently received an updated copy of my Experian Credit Report. I discovered ( 32 ) credit inquiries listed on my Experian XXXXredit File. I immediately contacted Experian, who advised me that I needed to contact the companies who requested inquiries directly. I wrote a letter to each company detailing the fact that I had not granted any one permission to research or view my Experian Credit report. I asked each company to investigate the unauthorized viewing of my personal information. In addition I asked Experian to please investigate and delete these unauthorized inquires from my Experian Credit report. As a result i am contacting your agency to request assistance with enforcing my rights under the fair credit reporting act. There is already a Fraud Alert listed on my Experian Credit File. When I reviewed the fraud alert, I observed that the telephone number listed on the fraud alert is also fraudulent. I need this information updated to show the correct contact number, and I need the fraudulent credit inquiries deleted from my Experian Credit File. I thank you in advance for your assistance with this problem, and Happy Holiday 's.
