Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding their failure to address the inaccuracies on my credit report, despite my efforts to rectify the situation. 

On XX/XX/2023, I mailed a dispute letter to TransUnion requesting an investigation into inaccurate items on my credit report. These inaccuracies have adversely affected my financial standing and credibility. 

Despite my compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) guidelines and providing all necessary information, TransUnion has failed to acknowledge or act upon my dispute within the legally mandated time frame. 

I have taken significant care to ensure the accuracy of my credit report and to protect my financial reputation. However, TransUnion 's failure to respond appropriately has caused unwarranted stress and financial implications for me. 

I made sure to include a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and recent bill with my current address to help TransUnion verify my identity and address. 

I received a response back from TransUnion dated XX/XX/2023, stating the following : We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. According to the FCRA, if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a credit bureau is disputed by the consumer, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. 


I am seeking prompt intervention from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to compel TransUnion to conduct a thorough investigation into the disputed items on my credit report and to take necessary corrective action as per the FCRA guidelines. 

It appears that TransUnion has violated my consumer rights by not conducting a reasonable investigation upon receipt of my dispute, which they are required to do in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I am including a copy of my dispute letter sent to TransUnion, along with XXXX response as proof. I am now demanding TransUnion immediately and permanently remove the disputed items from my credit report.

I trust that this matter will be resolved promptly, as it is in both of our interests to ensure the accuracy of my credit report. 

I sincerely hope that it does not come to that, and I look forward to a swift resolution of this matter.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Repayment of my federal student loans was initially begun with XXXX. I chose the Extended Repayment Plan and was faithfully paying {$210.00} per month before the pandemic payment pauses. 
During the pause period, my loans were transferred to MOHELA. When payments were due to resume in XXXX, XXXX, MOHELA advised me that my monthly payment was {$360.00}! This change to some sort of other payment plan was done entirely without my assent or knowledge, and I believe it was illegal for MOHELA to do this. 
I called several times in XXXX, suffering hold times of more than 2 to 3 hours. Each time I spoke with a representative, they could not tell me why my payment had been changed, or even what plan I had been put on. They said they understood I wanted to be put back on Extended Repayment, back to $ XXXX, and said they would pass that on. On one call, I was told that the supervisor just said it was not possible to change my plan! I called again and asked to speak with a supervisor. This person understood my problem, and said they would place me on administrative forbearance while they worked it out. 
At the end of the administrative forbearance, nothing changed! I was sent a statement showing that my XXXX, XXXX payment was to be {$360.00}. I tried to pay the {$210.00} that I believe I owed, but was unable to do this, because the website required me to acknowledge that if I made such a payment, I was paying less than I owed, which is not true. 
At this point, I gave up with telephone calls and sent several messages to MOHELA. One letter said they were going to request a forbearance while my situation could be looked at to change the payment plan. Then I recently received a letter that appeared to say two contradictory things- it stated that I was going to be in forbearance, but then, at the very very bottom of the letter after the grid with my loans, it states that my forbearance was denied due to " overlaps ''??? 
Now I have been sent a statement that I owe three payments of {$360.00}, for a total of {$1000.00}. None of this is correct, and I worry that it will be impossible to correct soon, as MOHELA is in the process of changing to a new servicing platform. Please help!!! 
I am attaching all pertinent correspondence below.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
There were over 30 transactions on my debit card over the course of 6 weeks totaling over XXXX. The same morning I noticed I submitted a fraud request. All of the charges consisted of wawa, XXXX and royal farms charges. All of which I am not a frequent user of. Additionally, there were charges across three states. ( Including days where I used XXXX XXXX local to where I live ). Its concerning the bank did not find this suspicious and even more so in the investigation of fraud, this did not raise a red flag. On navy federal website, it states that fraud needs to be claimed within 60 days, which it was. When I was on the phone with a supervisor yesterday she said she likely suspected it was declined due to the length in which charges occurred. I told her their policy on the website and she was not very helpful. In addition, the claim was denied within 24 hours of the report. I called and they could not tell me reason for denial other than their suspicion or the steps involved in the investigation.
