Consumer complaint received 2023-06-01 00:00:00
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan — Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I placed an order for several pairs of shoes via XXXX  back in XXXX of 2023. Two of the pair were final sale, but arrived damaged. I contacted XXXX about this, and they assured me that, as a one-time courtesy, I could return the damaged items ( regardless of them being final sale because they were DAMAGED, ie, missing leather from spots on the shoes ) for a refund. I filed this complaint over a month ago, have proof that XXXX okayed the refund, as well as proof that I returned the items via delivery tracking number ( see all attached screenshots ) and submitted a complaint to Affirm ( which they subsequently closed ), as well as several pieces of the documentation attached here. Affirm is not taking this issue seriously, and despite my evidence, not adjusting the installment loan, which is almost {$200.00} extra plus interest I should not be paying. Now, my loan is late payment is late, as I want this resolved prior to making any payments, and I also want the interest subtracted, as I am still being charged for items I have returned and have proof of returning. Affirm has been no help. I just filed yet another dispute claim yesterday, replete with attached documentation outlining everything I explained here, and they have sent me what I believe is an automated message asking for the very documentation I uploaded yesterday. For reference, here are the Affirm dispute case IDs : XXXX ( filed XX/XX/XXXX, before any loan payment was even due ) and XXXX ( filed XX/XX/XXXX ). I have no problem paying my loan, but I am not paying for items that I don't actually have because I returned them, nor am I paying interest for these returned items.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I have gotten a notice from XXXX stating my XXXX loan that I had with them of {$28000.00} has been paid in full, I also have an online account with XXXX and still till today, when I log in, it's stating that my balance that I owe is {$0.00}. Per XXXX, they had reached out to all three credit report bureaus to inform them of this information. XXXX and XXXX has showed the correct update of that balance of {$28000.00} being paid in full but Transunion is still showing that I have a balance with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX of {$28000.00}. I've been calling and speaking with the rude agents at Transunion and they are stating that XXXX had updated them on XX/XX/ stating that I still have a balance with them which is incorrect. At this point I don't know what to do, I'm literally being tossed around and getting absolutely no where. I would gladly appreciate if you can please help me with this issue. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Experian is at it again. 

Per the law covering credit freezes, Experian requires consumers to establish a free account for freezing and unfreezing your credit report. I have had this required free account for 3+ years for the sole purpose of freezing and unfreezing my Experian credit report. 

Today I logged in to check the status of my experian credit report ( frozen or unfrozen ). I couldn't find any obvious link, radio button or any other identifiable directions on their website to access my freeze status. 

" Freeze status '' or " freeze request '' is nowhere to be found on the homepage after you log in. 

The only link for anything related to freeze status on their website is the " protection '' header. When you click this header a new page loads, but still no readily identifiable link or info related to a " freeze ''. However the page cleverly shows a graphic/status of your credit file as " unlocked '', with an arrow indicating more info is available. 

When you click the " Unlocked '' icon a side panel pops out advertising their " CreditLock '' feature with a prominent " Get CreditLock '' button. This is of course their paid subscription service. 

FINALLY- IF YOU HAPPEN TO NOTICE THAT THE SIDE PANEL LOADS WITH ITS OWN SLIDER BAR FOR SCROLLING DOWN THE PAGE - AND YOU MUST SCROLL DOWN- YOU SEE A STILL DISGUISED HYPERLINK TO CHECK THE SECURITY FREEZE STATUS OF YOUR ACCOUNT. 

It's unbelievable and disappointing that in 2023 we have a credit bureau misdirecting consumers and literally hiding the security freeze option they are mandated to provide by law. CFPB do your job overseeing this rogue credit bureau!
