Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a car loan and received varying information from the credit bureaus and the services who monitor my scores like XXXX and XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX  which has which has a service called XXXX XXXX, shows my score of XXXX, XXXX has a service called XXXX XXXX showing XXXX. 

If I go to XXXX which I have a paid service, it shows XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Transunion XXXX. They all have the same negative items and a lot of bad information all together. 
Old and closed credit cards done in XX/XX/XXXX when I lost my job, based on a bad economy. 

First off, how can they vary so much with the same information? 

I sent a dispute letter to all three service, based on items that were 10 years or older and bad addresses and wrong past employers. 

Items 8 to 10 old should not appear according to Fair Credit Report Act. 

The 3 bureaus replied to those Disputes stating I made payments several years after they were closed, which is totally false. 

Household Income went from a XXXX to XXXX so I could not make any payments having just enough money to make mortgage, car and insurance payments, utilities essentials and food never mind payments to credit cards. 

I was out of work about 4 years and could not make payments to any of those cards at any time. 

I can't help but think they make false payment statement to keep the negative items on the reports as long as they possible can, and the varying scores and information like addresses, employers proves their inefficiency. 

If they are all monitoring the same information how can they be so different, and false. 

Please help because they are once again like our banking industry getting out of control, can't help but think its based on the present administration.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I receive a phone call at XXXX XXXX from XXXX ID # XXXX stating that they needed the XXXX corrected in the address and phone number. Only page two of our XX/XX/XXXX taxes with our signatures on it and our hardship letter. I was told I needed to add on LIne 5 of the XXXX the word Corporation after Freedom Mortgage. and Their phone number. I was told they needed page two of our taxes signed and dated.

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

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to dispute many collection accounts that were inaccurate and or falsely reported on my three credit reports with very minimal results until I submitted complaints with the CFPB and got results from both the credit bureaus and the actual collection companies. But, Equifax still has an account listed as open and with balance in collection! I had disputes listed with Equifax and even get email correspondence stating results are posted ( for only a few more days now ) and yet I can not even log into the website with my personal info and unique Confirmation Numbers!? I keep getting the same error message of : We are unable to Process your request ... .. 
My results from using CFPB even had the collection agency replying saying they have sent corrected and updated info TWO TIMES to the credit bureau and yet still listed at Equifax? I would like to know ( view ) why Equifax has not fixed this, but unable to even re-dispute ( send more documentation ) anything without access to their website?! I have contacted their customer service only to be told I must contact them directly? I thought I WAS contacting them? Do I need to show up in person for a meeting? This is ridiculous! 
Needless to say, during this long process I have been denied for leasing on living arrangements due to all this wrong information and the needed points were not gained/showing to grant me loans/application approvals. 
I have attached my documentation and screen shots of Equifax error message, correspondences and account numbers.

Company: ERC

Complaint narrative:
THIS COMPLAINT IS BASED ON THE INAPPROPRIATE DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES BY XXXX XXXX XXXX IN REPORTING ME TO DEBT COLLECTORS, MOST RECENTLY ONE NAMED 'ERC ' FOR MODEMS THAT I HAVE SINCE RETURNED AND ON TIME : THIS DEBT COLLECTION ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH AN ACCOUNT I USED TO HAVE WITH XXXX XXXX BACK IN XX/XX/XXXX. WHILE I DO NOT OWE THEM, THIS IS IN REGARD TO THEIR RETURN OF THEIR MODEMS. THEY WERE ITEMS THAT I HAD RETURNED ON TIME, BUT THEY SEEM TO NOT HAVE PROPERLY SYSTEMS IN PLACE FOR RETURN AT THEIR WAREHOUSE. SO, THIS ERROR IS PURELY THEIR FAULT NOT MINE. 
I HAVE SINCE RETURNED THESE MODEMS USING THE RETURN SHIPPING LABEL GIVEN TO ME BY XXXX XXXX FOR THIS PURPOSE AND WHICH I HAVE ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT. 
I HAVE RETURNED TO THEM THE 4 ITEMS THAT I HAVE EVER RECEIVED AND SENT BACK, THE SHIPPING LABEL WERE ON THE BLANK SIDE OF EACH FORM. 

FOR WHATEVER REASON I AM NOT SURE, BUT XXXX XXXX HAS BEEN SELLING MY INFORMATION TO COLLECTION COMPANIES ( COPIES ATTACHED ). FIRST IT WAS A COMPANY NAMED XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX BACK IN XX/XX/XXXX. THIS COMPANY KEPT CALLING ME, SO I CALLED XXXX XXXX  TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER AND UPON THEIR INTERNAL INVESTIGATION THEY DETERMINED THAT I HAVE INDEED MODEMS AND THEY WERE RECEIVED IN THEIR WAREHOUSE. 
THUS, WITH THAT CONFIRMATION NUMBER I CALLED BACK TO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX AND TOLD THEM TO CALL XXXX XXXX TO CONFIRM THAT THE DEBT DOES NTO EXIST. THEY PROMPTLY STOPPED CALLING ME OR SENDING FURTHER NOTIFICATIONS. 
I THOUGHT THAT XXXX XXXX HAS FINALLY AMENDED THIS PROBLEM AND PROPERLY UPDATED THEIR RECORDS TO STOP THIS UNJUST HARASSMENTS. NOT THAT THEY APOLOGIZED OR ANYTHING BUT XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX DID CONTACT THEM AND STOPPED CALLING ME. 
YOU CAN IMAGINE MY DISMAY WHEN LAST MONTH, I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE FROM A NEW COMPANY ERC THAT I OWED XXXX XXXX FOR THE SAME DEBT OF {$310.00} AND I MUST PAY THE AMOUNT BACK. I REALIZED THAT XXXX XXXX STAFF MEMBERS ARE PROBABLY STEALING MODEMS AND DEVICES AND DENYING RECEIPT OF THEM, BECAUSE THESE MODEMS ARE TOTALLY USELESS TO CUSTOMERS EXCEPT TO THEIR XXXX XXXX   ENGINEERS. 
IN ADDITION, I ALSO NOTICED A LOT OF DISCREPANCIES IN THEIR ACCOUNT INFORMATION AND HOW THEY TRIED TO RESTART AN OLD ACCOUNT AND CLAIM THAT ITS MINE AND I MUST PAY FOR IT. 
XXXX XXXX HAS DONE QUESTIONABLE THINGS THAT SEVERELY DAMAGED MY REPUTATION TO CREDIT COLLECTORS. 
IT HAS ALSO VIOLATED MY PRIVACY AND SOLD AROUND MY PERSONAL IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW. 
THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THESE COMPANIES THAT ARE HARASSING ME.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem accessing account
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Please see previous complaint # XXXX DiscoverBank. In addition to that complaint, multiples entries on my DiscoverBank checking account # XXXX  monthly statements. Entries are as ACH when, in fact, a check was issued from my checking account with DiscoverBank, also referencing XXXX XXXX, where I have closed any accounts in my name and my name only in XX/XX/2017. Anything referencing XXXX XXXX, in my opinion, on any of my accounts, these accounts will be closed. With their XXXX  XXXX class action case it seems these other banks, Discover, XXXX, might be heading in the same direction. In addition, I can not print or view these ACH entries, not acceptable. I keep a very detailed record of everything and not being able to print these so called cleared checks is not acceptable. I also know this is being done deliberately. It is very obvious to me when banks and businesses try to XXXX the customer as indicated above, it stinks of something illegal. When I was always able to print my checks and now some are being entered as ACH from XXXX XXXX, it certainly indicates something questionable is going on. As mentioned in previous complaint DiscoverBank, now I can not even contact this XXXX XXXX, Associate, Executive Advocacy, DiscoverBank, if she is not a fraud, with questions regarding my accounts with DiscoverBank. The scenario continues to grow and get worse.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I opened a checking/debit and also a savings account at TD Bank. The two accounts were linked and were supposed to draft from the savings if the checking/debit had insufficient funds. Well my wife went into labor and we had a new baby girl. When the whirlwind of that process died down. I checked my TD Bank balance as I believed I may be close to depleting the checking/debit balance. 
What I found were multiple {$35.00} fees for overdraft near {$200.00}. They also manipulated the sequence of purchases to maximize the {$35.00} fees ( ie ; {$1.00} for a coffee was moved to cause a {$35.00} fee before new funds were added. Furthermore, the accounts were supposed to be linked, I had the money to cover every single purchase I made, in my savings account. 
What happened next was even worse, the customer service reps gave me the run around for weeks. Finally as supervisor told me only a branch manager could reverse those fees. I went to the XXXX, MA. branch on XXXX XXXX. Despite my explanation the manager only refunded {$30.00}. 
Feeling defeated and facing 30 days I paid the fees even though I knew I wasnt liable for them. 
Two years later, I received a letter from TD Bank stating that a third party audit found that I wasnt liable for the fees!! Included in the letter was a check for what I paid plus interest. Great, I thought case closed they realized their error and made it right. I threw out the file of logs and paper I had proving my case. 
Turns out that around that time in XX/XX/XXXX TD Bank reported me to the XXXX as Flagged for 1.  Overdraft 2. Account abuse. As a result I was declined in opening an account for my now XXXX year old daughter. Apparently I would have been declined if I tried to pay for groceries via check or tried to cash a personal check somewhere other than my bank. 
Even though they reported on XXXX that the account was paid in full it also said, charge off. 
I called TD Bank got the run around and was finally told we have no record of you being paid back the fees or any letter sent. They then went on to say they dont have the authority to make changes on the XXXX. When I asked for a supervisor who did have the authority they said my only option to speak to one is a callback within 24hrs. I left my number and sure enough, they never called. Im not sure what else to do and hope that your office could help me, please.
