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 — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2017, I made a complaint that the credit agency continues to allow an creditor to incorrectly and inaccurately report late payments on my credit report. The credit agency sent me a copy of my credit report which verified the correction however after purchasing a new vehicle I was offered a higher interest rate due to late reporting with this same creditor and credit agency. I contacted the creditor which advised they sent corrections over and no recent late credit payments. 

As I stated back in XX/XX/2017. My payments are due on the XXXX of every month. Based on the Fair Reporting a creditor can not report a 30 day late for not paying a late fee. 

It has been discovered that the credit agencies are allowing incorrect and inaccurate credit reporting by XXXX XXXX. My credit reported shows numerous 30 day late 's. This is the same issue back in XX/XX/17 which at that time showing 31-60 days late on my credit report in XX/XX/2017. 

They previously advised they report the XXXX of every month and if the payments are not paid in full then its reported late to the credit bureau. I advised this is against the Fair Reporting Act.15 U.S.C. 1681. And they are violating 623 section 3 and 8. I continuously explain my payments are due on the XXXX of every month and they can not change my contract. I advised purchasing the loan doesn't change any terms. I asked for the contract showing my signature that changed the terms of my loan. 

The credit agency makes it very difficult to dispute online or by phone. I have asked for a updated credit report several times and never receive one or they advised I have to pay for me. I do not believe I should have to pay for a credit report to verify the inaccuracies reporting.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Transunion is Seriously dismissive when you talk to them on the phone. 
Obviously, they do not teach Customer Service Skills. 

My credit score was recently bumped up to over 700 for the first time in my life and after working on my credit for the past 5 years.

I was awarded a {$5000.00} credit limit with a retailer in order to obtain a gift for my wife. I used {$660.00} of that credit which works out to just over 10 %. 
Although my credit report shows I have 100 % payment record and only 14 % of my entire credit limit ( I have 4 credit cards ) none of which are delinquent. TransUnion DROPPED my score by 136 points in a 24 hour period. Nothing had changed on my report except the retailer had reported my {$5000.00} limit.

TransUnion had been the only credit agency that allowed this to happen. It had no effect on my score with any other agency.

I called them ( Transunion ) several times with no result and a very dismissive attitude in which they offered no guidance, no offer to assist in anyway. No explanation as to way this happened, no offer to investigate, ZERO assistance. I am now taking Legal steps against TransUnion and reporting them to every Federal Agency concerned with consumer credit.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am the primary account holder, and they list my spouse as a secondary borrower. 
She has been an authorized user only, since this account was opened XX/XX/87. 
JC Penny insists that she is a co borrower, even though they can not provide proof. 
Attached is a response to my request. 
I asked for the credit application to prove to me that she signed for this account. They can not produce the application. Reasons in the letter, online application, in XX/XX/1987 there was no online process to apply. Applied in store, we had a newborn at the time, and she was not able to go to a JC Penny store. Also, she was not working at the time, and had no income to apply for credit.

If they can not prove she signed for this, or any information that was given, she should no longer list her as a secondary account holder.

I never had any reason to question this until 2 months ago when I incurred trouble paying on time. I always paid this monthly bill, and she had never even seen it.

Please assist in having JC Penney remove her name from the account.

Thank you in advance.

Company: Perfection Collection
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I did not know anything about this debt from Perfection Collection. They just added on my credit about 2 months ago and I've never received a phone call, letter, email or anything because it is not my debt. I never lived at the address that this debt was for. I disputed with them and XXXX credit reporting agency. I have sent drivers license and letters from apartment I actually lived at during the time they say I acquired debt, also sent emails from myself and collection company to XXXX and they still wont remove. This Perfection collection said the only way this could be removed is for me to file a police report and charge someone with fraud. 
The debt is from 2016 and just now coming up. I also just filed bankruptcy and this debt was added right after filing. Obviously if this was really my debt I would of filed it under my bankruptcy. But it is not mine. Perfection Collection is trying to collect at least {$2600.00} for a XXXX XXXX XXXX company. 
I know the legal process to even put this on my credit report was not followed.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My property sustained damages during Hurricane Irma in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX   XXXX XXXX XXXX finally paid the claim in XX/XX/XXXX. Ditech received the endorsed check on XX/XX/XXXX, per overnight courier. That check was in the total amount of {$120000.00}. There was a previous amount in the escrow of {$19000.00}. That was paid on XX/XX/XXXX. They sent a check in the amount of {$2100.00}, on XX/XX/XXXX Today XX/XX/XXXX, they have not released any other funds, in spite they have had all the paperwork uploaded to their website as directed. The payment included roof replacement and other repairs to the structure of my property, however, there are payments included that are not related to the repairs of the home, like pack out, move, personal property etc. Those funds should have been disbursed to me immediately as they have nothing to do with the actual repairs, and it is my money that they are floating. It is beyond abusive. It is illegal. 

In the website under my account, the escrow, shows all the deposits, but a XXXX balance. Needless to say, I am very concerned. Ditech came out of Chapter XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, and was delisted from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I have no protection whatsoever on my money, which they are holding illegally. 

Every time I talk to them the result is the same ... .they take 14 days to process, etc. I am frustrated and angry. I have a perfect payment history with these people. They are not a bank, the mortgage is actually owned by XXXX XXXX, they only service the account and that does not or should not give them the right to hold unto any monies whatsoever. This has to change, as I know I am not the only one in this situation. Perhaps we need a class action law suit!

Complaint narrative:
Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a phone call from XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX in Georgia. He told me he was attempting to collect a debt owed to HSBC Bank in the amount of XXXX. I was informed that this account was opened in XX/XX/XXXX at an address that I have not lived at since XX/XX/XXXX. When I  informed him that not only did i not have an account with HSBC and didn't live at the address when that card was opened, he basically disregarded me and said I'd have to go to court to dispute that. He refused to provide any further information stating that some credit cards have a small hsbc bank written on the bottom of it but he couldn't give me anything more than HSBC and the account balance. He also informed me that he would only email me the affidavit of claim and i had 24 hours to decide if i was going to make payment arrangements or have it go to judgement. 
After I hung up I called HSBC bank who informed me they had no record of me having an outstanding debt with them or in collections. 
I found out some of my rights to information from cfpb and contacted the company back. When I called they tried to verify the last 4 of my social which i refused and was hung up on. The man XXXX I spoke too called right back and was nasty asking me what I wanted. I asked him to please provide a copy of the affidavit via mail ; he refused stating that " it's too easy for people to claim they didn't get the letter ''. I told him he's required to send correspondence via mail and also to provide who my creditor was as well as giving me 30 days to dispute. He said he wasn't required to do anything, that he was marking me as a refusal to pay and hung up on me.
