Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am writing with regards to the decision by Transunion on my dispute for a debt with XXXX XXXX credit card and their negative comments on my credit report. 

1 ) XX/XX/XXXX I called for a payoff amount ( {$190.00} ) paid the same and received confirmation # XXXX as proof of my XXXX  balance and requested to close this account once again. 
This was the agreed upon amount with the person that I spoke to on the phone. I believe the original balance at that time was about {$250.00}. This balance was incurred as a result of a purchase that I made for {$50.00} the rest were all fees incurred while I was recovering ( hospital and home ) from XXXX. 

2 ) The gentleman in question said that he did not have the power to eliminate all fees but could eliminate the last ones as a result of the medical condition. He said that the account needed to be paid in full right away and that the best he could do was {$190.00} which I paid immediately. I asked him for some sort of confirmation or proof of that conversation and he gave me the aforementioned number. 
I just found out looking at my credit score that you have been reporting my account as delinquent since that time ( after the payoff payment ) and that I owe you a balance. I have been calling XXXX asking for someone to help me. Finally today I was able to get someone who told me that the only way to resolve this is for me to mail them this letter. I sent the letter certified mail on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. 

3 ) Throughout this time XXXX  continues to charge fees on an account that was paid off -leaving me with a balance {$220.00} that should never have been assessed as the account was paid off in full. 

4 ) I disputed this bill with transition and on XX/XX/XXXX - after just a few days- they advised that they decided that the charge was accurate. ( It appears that a computer not a person makes this decisions ). No proof at all of how this was determined. 

5 ) XX/XX/XXXX -- called XXXX  again to try to get this resolved- was on the phone for 45m to be told thatchy had to review the case. 

I am asking you to please help me.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In the late summer of 2019, my new BBVA checking account was hacked by no means of my own. It had to be an internal fraud situation as my card never left the envelop it was shipped in, and even when I did block the card, fraud was still taking place in and out of my account. After months of trying to close the account and get my money back, they eventually put back {$200.00} that was taken out by fraud. When I attempted to withdraw the money and closed my account, the account was frozen. For four months, I have been told additional investigations were happening. I have needed every little dollar I have to pay rent during this time of unemployment, and this bank not once, ever tried to call or E-mail me. Today I called and asked for an update, and they bluntly said with an attitude, you're not getting your {$200.00} back, and the investigations closed. When I raised my voice, she hung up. I have spent up to 20 hours plus waiting on hold for this company, and I can't do it anymore. I need your help to get my money back. It ; 's the hard-earned money that was stolen from me by a hacker and now by the bank itself. I am XXXX years old and never in my life had this customer service from any organization, let alone an FDIOC Banking Institution.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
In the month of XXXX Equifax dropped customers credit score by 40 points. The reason given was no change in status. Please have someone look into this I have called the company with no results. I have spoken to 10 other people who credit scores range in the XXXX 's and are now in the XXXX 's. And there was no change in their status as to why that occurred other than from time to time we change our algorithms. 
Totally unacceptable. We are maintaining a good payment history and we are being penalized for no reason. Please look into this.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX2019 LVNV FUNDING added a derogatory mark on my credit report. Upon further investigation, this account was sold and I am not responsible for it. LVNV FUNDING did not verify this collection. Also, after requesting validation there was no written form of communication, contract or signature for this accused debt. A bill without a signature does not validate a debt. Anybody can send a bill without a written signature and say it's mine. According to the FCRA they violated my rights as a consumer and I am requesting legal action to have this account removed immediately.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
When I opened Paypal years ago, I used it to buy things on ebay and what not. Friends would send money and I to them. The problem occurred in XXXX, 2020 when they closed my account and limited it permanently. They stated they were going to hold my money for 180 days. In fact, every account, including a club account that I opened for the treasurer as she didn't know how, they closed that. 

The problem is that I checked today, XX/XX/XXXX, and it states they transferred the account balances ( over 1K ) to their own accounts. I was told at 180 days they would release the funds to transfer out. This never occurred. They stole the money. I have read multiple people this has occurred with which are friends on XXXX. They never got their money back. I am sick of the tactics Paypal is using to steal people 's money based on some stupid acceptable uses. The only use you can do with Paypal based on their terms is buy using Paypal. I have a business account and I can't even access that account.

Complaint narrative:
I contracted XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. By XX/XX/XXXX I was admitted into the hospital. I am very lucky to be alive as I suffered from XXXX for my whole life. I was eventually released from the hospital and sent home for quarantine. I was out for 60 days and lost my job. I had a reoccurring payment returned for insufficient funds on XX/XX/2020. I wasn't made aware of the insufficient funds payment when it happened otherwise I would have had someone deposit for me. Having said this I contacted XXXX  and explained to them the situation on XX/XX/2020, caught the payment current and requested a Goodwill Adjustment due to extenuating circumstances caused by XXXX XXXX, the pandemic. They told me over the phone it would be no problem. I recieved a response back from XXXX on XX/XX/2020 denying my request. I then disputed it with Experian, XXXX, and XXXX and was also denied because they said XXXX verified the account. Having said this, I am requesting that the account 's late payment be updated to current under The Hereos Act Section 110401.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I'm currently unemployed and have several student loans outstanding. I applied for an income based student loan plan XX/XX/XXXX. Navient refuses to reduce my student loan appropriately. They have information on my income from both the unemployment office and my latest tax return. I have talked to them on several occasions and sent them the following information based on these conversations : XX/XX/XXXX Original application XX/XX/XXXX Deposits and transactions from XXXX  XXXX XXXX unemployment account XX/XX/XXXX Unemployment insurance payments from the State of Arizona XX/XX/XXXX Unemployment insurance payments from the State of Arizona including deductions for XX/XX/XXXX ( which shows XXXX taxes deducted ) XX/XX/XXXX Letter stating that my income is now XXXX ( My unemployment benefits ran out ) XX/XX/XXXX PEUC Unemployment letter from the State of Arizona and a letter stating that these benefits are taxable. 

However, they say that because the unemployment information does not state if it is taxable or non-taxable they can not put me on this plan. I have told them that the income is taxable but apparently that is not enough for them. When I didn't have income and my benefits ran out, it appears that they conveniently never received this form. 

Honestly, I believe they are scamming millions of people right now. This is there way to keep from putting people on these plans and being able to charge additional interest and late fees. Please help me and find a way to get on this plan and keep this from ever happening again. 

Thanks.
