Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I was introduced to the idea of borrowing money for large purchases starting at the age of XXXX for a college tuition. Several years later, I took out a car loan, which was required to provide transportation to and from school and work. Following graduation, I opened a credit to begin planning an engagement ring purchase to propose to my current wife - the love of my life. 

In every instance mentioned above, borrowing money was necessitated by the amount of money available to me in order for me to exercise my constitutional rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of am happiness. 

While the standard American Dream of going to college, getting a job, getting married, buying a house, and having kids was deeply engrained in my life growing up, financial education was not. As a result, with only a piggy bank concept of saving, and an extremely basic idea of how interest worked, I was forced to opt in to predatory binding contracts in order to exercise my constitutional rights. 

Like many others before me, instead of helping to exercise multiple rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, the companies involved with the money I borrowed instead stripped these UNALIENABLE rights from me. Instead of focusing on the things that mattered, I was instead always focusing on money, and how I would make ends meet. 

One thing led to another, and before I knew it, there was no recovering from the debt I found myself in. I began making bad financial decisions because the good ones didnt seem to make any more of a difference to being financially free and independent. 

I am now separated from my wife, friends, and family, on the brink of homelessness, with {$15.00} in my bank account, and {$22000.00} worth of debt. I am tired, I am scared, I am lonely, and I am depressed. 

I now realize that I was never free with the education unrealistic dreams made available to me. I now realize that my tax money has never been responsibly used to address these issues in our society. I now realize that the land of the free means the land owned by the rich, and that the home of the brave means the poor people that live there. 

I would love more than anything to be proven wrong and to be given a fair chance at actually obtaining life, liberty, and happiness, but I no longer believe it will happen. The constitution is just an old piece of paper to me now ; the purpose and meaning has faded more than words ...

Complaint narrative:
I have student loan debt. In 2017 I was to begin my first payments. I wasn't aware of this at the time. I did go to that school anymore and all the loan company had was my school email address. Also during this time I was pregnant. The months were XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. XX/XX/2017 is when I gave birth. I was out of work and having to take care of a new born. When I checked my credit a few months later it said I had missed 18 payments. I have 6 individual loans, so each one missed 3 months of payments. And on XXXX it just changed to 24 missed payments, just recently added XXXX as well. I understand it is my responsibility, I was planning on continuing my education and then got pregnant and also moved to another state. I've asked them if they can remove those missed payments multiple times with no as being the answer. I get no explanation at all.. Since 2017 I've had horrible credit because of these missed payments. No matter what I do I can't get rid of them and it doesn't matter if everything since has been paid on time. Never late on any credit cards or car payments. I am also going to school again to finish and get my degree in XXXX. I just would like to be able to do things with my life without this following me around forever. I can't even get a loan with my husband to buy a home or a car. What can I do?

I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report and found late payment on my payment history from your company. 
I am not sure how this happened, I believe that I had made my payments to you when I received my statements. My only thought is that my monthly statement did not get to me, or the payment was not applied as fast as expected. I checked my bank account and noticed that you deducted the money out of my checking account that on the month that you marked me late on my credit report.

Company: BOK FINANCIAL CORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint regards a BOK Financial checking account, which I opened in mid-XXXX at a XXXX branch of what was then Bank of Arizona. Since then, I have made frequent use of the account for debit-card transactions, ATM withdrawals and international wires. 

On XX/XX/2020, an attempt to pay a medical bill using my debit card failed, and I noticed subsequently that I was unable to log into my online banking or withdraw funds using an ATM. When I called XXXX XXXX, I was told my account had been " terminated. '' I had not - and, to this day, have not - received any kind of written notice to that effect. 

When I asked for an explanation, I was told that only the bank 's fraud department would be able to provide details, and that said department was closed. Ultimately, a supervisor told me that I had been labeled a " potential mule '' in internal notes. The supervisor said she did not know on what basis the fraud department was making that accusation. 

I noted that, particularly in the midst of the current pandemic, there was an urgent need for me to retrieve the {$1300.00} deposited in the account. I was nonchalantly told that I no longer had an account with BOK Financial and that my funds would be returned in the form of a check to my address or file in a time frame that could exceed 10 business days.

I asked to be connected to the fraud department and left a detailed voice mail about the aforementioned events, expressing my outrage and having been labeled a " mule '' and asking for an explanation and assistance. My call was never returned, and BOK Financial has not reached out to me in any way.
