Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion is colluding with debt collection industry to manipulate credit scoring system to force people to pay. 
They even help debt collection agencies to collect debt by impairing credit scores without merit. This whole industry is dishonest under the pretense of representing credit scores for hard working people. 

I have tried to explain how the debt was an error and the company who sent me to the collection admitted to the billing error on the phone. The person was an agent of the company ; and must have not recorded nor rectified the billing. Thus, my case ended up in the collection. The company is a large telecom company and I have no way to substantiate the evidence. 

Regardless of what the issue is : credit rating companies hand in hand with debt collection agencies is morally and ethically wrong. I ask CFPB to look into this and see if there needs to be a review of the regulation on such regard.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I had been considering switching banks and came across an offer for new Citibank banking customers. The offer states that Citibank will automatically deposit bonus amounts in cash for new customers opening accounts. I deposited {$80000.00} into a new checking account which qualifies me for {$1000.00} bonus which needed to be deposited within 30 days after a 90 day period during which you must maintain is {$75000.00} minimum balance. I meet all qualifying conditions, fulfilled all requirements but I haven't received the promised bonus amount. At this point it is almost 3 weeks past the said bonus distribution date. Please see attachments I called city bank customer service six times without any results. Each time I am told I qualify for the bonus but I am yet to receive it. I inquired about the reason for delay but keep getting inconsistent answers. One day I'm being told my complaint has been reviewed and funds will be deposited in 48 hours next time I'm being told they are still investigating.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I have been advised by my credit card companies that my credit score ( usually over XXXX ) dropped significantly in XXXX, 2023, as reported by Equifax and XXXX. On checking my scores, they seem to have dropped by approximately XXXX points in a single month. I have checked my credit reports with both companies and have no issues that would have caused such a drop. 

I did get within {$500.00} of the {$5000.00} limit on one credit card - unusual for me- but that's the only factor I can see that might have caused the drop in my score. Again, that amount was UNDER my limit, not over it. 

It seems to me that such a drop is unfair to myself and other consumers, given the facts I've stated.
