Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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: CA

Complaint narrative:
Transunion is a dishonest company that sells online services that don't work, has an unhelpful staff, and provides incorrect financial data. They have been damaging my credit and reputation by posting false financial information and unverified accounts on my profile since 2019. 

My Transunion credit dropped XXXX points after I was able to remove two derogatory accounts from my credit report. 

I paid off thirteen accounts with revolving debs reducing all my balances to XXXX, removed two derogatory accounts that were listed on my profile, and they did not favorably update my credit score as I expected. My score inexplicably decreased by XXXX points. Transunion has caused extreme harm because of its faulty financial surveillance business model. 

Inaccurate payment history information prevents me from obtaining the credit that I'm trying to apply for because it's lowering my credit score.

This complaint is being sent to you in response to TransUnion 's erroneous reporting of financial information and the highly negative impact on my credit report.

I have emailed them ( XX/XX/22 ), texted them and called them multiple times and told them they have the wrong number for XXXX XXXX. Their typical response is no reply or to hang-up on me. Once they said they would remove me ( my cell phone number? ) from their list, however the call and texts continue. Just to exacerbated the situation, they are also typically very discourteous. 

Calls received - multiple calls ( XXXX ) from ( XXXX ) XXXX the last one on XX/XX/22, ( XXXX ) XXXX on XX/XX/22, ( ( XXXX ) XXXX on XX/XX/22, ( XXXX ) XXXX on XX/XX/22, ( XXXX ) XXXX on XX/XX/22, ( XXXX ) XXXX on XX/XX/22, ( XXXX ) XXXX on XX/XX/22.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Scammer claiming to be a billing agent for XXXX XXXX called and said my electricity would be shut off if I did not immediately pay a bill of {$490.00}. I agreed to pay and they said I needed to use XXXX and put my case number in the note on the XXXX payment. 
I was assured that I could pay the bill in person at a XXXX  XXXX, but I had the option to pay through an app. 

I checked my bank statements and saw that my XXXX XXXX bill is autopayed from my Citibank checking account and was paid recently. 

Called Citibank to have them cancel the payment and they said there was no recourse because I had approved the payment. I did indeed approve, but only because I THOUGHT I was paying a utility bill, not a scammer. Scammer required I put " XXXX '' in the memo for XXXX  XXXX billing. 

Citbank said they would investigate, but shouldn't XXXX be accountable for these fraud schemes? 1. They are making money from illegal transactions. 2. For larger payments, there should be some delay or buffer to prevent this. 3. XXXX should be able to easily connect user activity to an individual and hold them accountable. It's not hard. 


The banks that own XXXX are abetting criminals.

Also attached labeled as Exhibit B is the final letter sent to XXXX on XX/XX/2022, informing them of how their company has violated my rights as a consumer deliberately, intentionally, and purposely and is willfully violating my rights as a consumer. Lastly, attached and labeled as Exhibit C, is a copy of this company and ALL three ( 3 ) Credit Reporting Agencies reporting inaccurate information ( ALL HIGHLIGHTED ).

Knowing that I had paid for the Earthquake coverage on XXXX. I contacted XXXX 's to refund the duplicate payment made by Shellpoint. XXXX 's can not find the payment and Shellpoint says the check has not been cashed. I asked for a stop payment and Shellpoint stated it was a bulk payment with other Inured payments on the check, not just mine. They could not issue a stop payment. Now my escrow account is overdrawn by the incorrect payment and I will be assessed next year for the shortage when there shouldn't be a shortage.
