Complaint narrative:
My credit score was XXXX in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I check it several times each month. When I saw that my credit score had dropped by XXXX points in a matter of days, I was extremely upset. Transunion is responsible for lowering my score. 

On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I call Social Security Administration and requested that my monetary benefits be transferred from XXXX  XXXX XXXX to my account at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. Unfortunately, the woman I spoke with could barely speak English and as a result, she transposed one digit of XXXX XXXX routing number. When XX/XX/XXXX arrived, my money was NOT in my XXXX account. 

I then began the tedious process of trying to locate my income. After calling SSA several times ... .several days in a row, I was told that I " had to go to the nearest SSA office, '' which is a 2 hour round trip drive, plus the long hours spent sitting in the SSA office until a worker finally has time to help. The worker clicked a few keys on her computer and said " your money will arrive at your bank within a couple of days. '' It did not arrive. 

SSA finally deposited my income on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. This was too late for me to make an ontime payment on my VISA. So, my score plummeted through no fault of my own. 

Also, earlier XXXX had offered to increase my credit limit by {$1000.00}. They alreayd knew my credit score, but decided to do a deep dive into, which of course, lowered the score by a few points. 

Social Security is at fault for not hiring people who speak English and transunion is at fault for causing the bottom to fall out of my credit score.
