Consumer complaint received 2024-04-05 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to submit a formal complaint against TransUnion for recurrent technical issues that have effectively barred me from accessing my credit report online. My attempts to access my report on AnnualCreditReport.com and directly through TransUnion.com have been met with persistent technical errors. The screenshots attached herein evidence these failures. 

Despite repeated calls to TransUnion on XX/XX/year>, my problems remain unresolved. During my initial call aXXXX XXXX XXXX MST, I was uncomfortably solicited for my full social security number by a representative at an offshore call center. I was assured the issue would be addressed within an hour, but that promise was not kept. Subsequent calls at XXXXXXXX XXXX MST and XXXXXXXX XXXX MST yielded no tangible results, with the latter escalating to a supervisor who acknowledged a technical fault but offered no resolution. 

As of today, XX/XX/year>, my access remains unjustly restricted. TransUnion 's alternative of mailing hard copies is not only environmentally damaging but also impractical and belated, infringing on my ability to promptly and effectively dispute inaccuracies as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) upholds that consumer reporting agencies must maintain " reasonable procedures '' for public access to these reports, an obligation TransUnion is failing to meet. 

The difficulties I am enduring with TransUnion not only flout the FCRA but also undercut my consumer rights. I demand an expeditious and permanent solution to the online access issue, and a reassessment of TransUnion 's privacy protocols concerning sensitive personal information. 

I trust the CFPB will take my grievance seriously and ensure compliance with the applicable laws to protect consumer rights. 

I wish for somebody to review these monitored phone calls. I called form my phone number which is XXXX. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I have diligently established automatic payments on all my credit cards to ensure timely payments and uphold my excellent credit score. Bank of America was no exception, and I entrusted their system to process payments reliably. I had auto-payment set up since XXXX  with Bank of America and , till date, never canceled/discontinued that service. I was notified by XXXX regarding a XXXX score drop on my credit score based on " delinquent payment '' status on Bank of America . Upon enquiring with the bank, I was told that my automated payment had been deactivated and that I had " missed payments '' for the months of XXXX and XXXX XXXX based on my auto-payments being deactivated, which I neither was made aware of nor authorize. However, despite my consistent efforts of contacting Bank of America to rectify their error, they have refused to make efforts to acknowledge their system 's mistake and, thereby, amend the information they had submitted to the credit bureaus. 

Because of this system error, my credit score has suffered a significant drop, plummeting from XXXX to the XXXX  within a week, due to XXXX " missed payments ''. This setback jeopardizes not just my hard-work of reaching an " excellent credit '' status, but also my plans for the near future- to secure a mortgage for my first home, a milestone I've diligently worked towards. 

I have always maintained my auto-payments active, recognizing their crucial role in my financial management. It is disheartening that Bank of America failed to fulfill their obligation to process these payments promptly. As a result, I now find myself tasked with rebuilding my credit, a burden unfairly imposed upon me through no fault of my own. 

Despite my efforts of diligently paying off my Bank of America credit card, the oversight in the last XXXX months has caused a major disruption amidst significant life events. The sudden interruption in auto-payments is perplexing and concerning, as it undermines the trust I've placed with this institution. Bank of America must rectify this error promptly and communicate with credit reporting agencies to ensure they understand that this decline in my credit score rests solely on the oversight of the company and not on my financial responsibility.
