Consumer complaint received 2022-12-12 00:00:00
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: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I had a XXXX balance on my XXXX credit card and have been a customer for over two years with not a single missed payment. This card I rarely use as I qualify for better cards with better benefits. I kept it open only for reporting purposes as it's one of my oldest cards. To my surprise, I receive a notification from XXXX XXXX that XXXX has reported my credit card payment as late. This should have never happened as I should have a XXXX balance as I do not use this card! I immediately pay the balance ( even though this is 100 % FRAUD ) as I have worked extremely hard to raise my credit to an acceptable score and wanted this to stop reporting as a " late balance '' on my credit report. I immediately call them to report the fraud on three separate charges for the same company, for the exact same amount. They refund my money for these charges and stated they will need to suspend my card and send me a new one which I was perfectly fine with. They, however, refused to correct the late payment reported on my credit or allow me to speak with a supervisor. They promised they would have a supervisor call me back the next business day and of course, they never did. I just so happen to check the card last week and I have YET AGAIN, ANOTHER FRAUDULENT CHARGE from the same company on the same card that they said they suspended. This company lacks accountability for its mistakes and customer service is subpar at best. They should be embarrassed about the way they do business.

Upon contacting US Bank to follow up on the status of the title I was advised that their office mailed it to an address that I have not resided at for over 5 years. Despite having my correct address on file and sending billing statements to me to the correct address for 5 years they still mailed the title to an outdated address. I was advised by the representative at US Bank that there was nothing that they could do and that I, the consumer, would have to take this matter up with the Department of Motor Vehicles.
