I paid twice to receive my credit score from TransUnion. It clearly states that I can check my score for 30 days and that is not true. The customer service representative I first spoke to dropped my call, the second left me on hold for an extended period, and the third did the same. They also have conflicting reasons for my score being at the level they claim it is.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Report Act to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experians inaction violates federal law and my right as a consumer.

I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle handing disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transition was unfeasible. The CFPBs finding indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and rasies serious concerns about consumers safety.

Company: Village Capital & Investment LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage is through Village Capital and investments. And XX/XX/year> I got behind a couple payments due to health and then in XXXX I started making payments and they started pushing me to make up the payments I was behind and I told them all I could afford was to continue making single payments. I was told that I had to make up the payments that I was behind in XXXX lump sum or they would foreclose on my house. So I hired XXXX XXXX to negotiate with them and then I was told of the offer that Village Capital was making, and I verbally accepted it. Then Village Capital came back the next day and told me that there was a lien against my house which ended up being a lie and then it was they had the wrong book page and the wrong page number in the record of deeds, but nobody could tell me how to fix it. It took a week or so, but I got this done and of course by this time thats also when XXXX XXXX hit South Carolina in North Carolina during that time Village Capital informed me that my application had been XXXX  because it took too long. So we are on round two now and on my third package of sending paperwork to them. The first time was my fault I did not have witnesses on the notary page so they sent me new paperwork which I completed. I took it to the county courthouse building and had it notarized and witnesses signed for it. Village Capital has come back this past week and said that it was copied on both sides, which is a lie that there were no witness signatures, which again as a lie And now I have to send the paperwork in the third time. While this is going on, they keep putting harsh remarks on my credit and the amount that they are adding to this is astronomical. 
I need help or Im gon na lose my home. Im a XXXX veteran on a fixed income and Im too old to be homeless. Thank you for your time.
