Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
Since the beginning of XX/XX/2023, I have requested that PenFed update my contact number in order for me to log in to my account and submit payment for my auto loan. I have confirmed every little detail of who I am, what, when and how much past payments were, etc. They refuse to update my information and as such I can not login to pay. They want to charge me an additional {$5.00} for each telephonic transaction ( which I refuse because they are choosing not to grant me access to my account ) and I should not be penalized because they refuse. I have approximately 64 emails from XX/XX/23 through the present date in which I have continued to request my number be updated. They wont do it with out having a copy of my phone bill - which they are absolutely not entitled to. They say they can take a copy of my ID- they have it on file and they know that. I submitted it over two years ago and the info has not changed. This is ultimately going to end up with my car being repossessed or my credit being ruined ( and Ive busted my XXXX over the past 4 years rebuilding my credit ). To let a power hungry bank have the ability to ruin what Ive worked hard for is not right. It would take all but 5 minutes for them to provide customer service and update my number. Its going on 4 months. This is asinine and Im not budging when it comes to providing them with a bill they have no right to have. I literally run a household of XXXX people on my sole income. The car is the only means of transportation we have. This needs dealt with and they need to update my number. 
They respond with " we offer multiple alternatives for making your loan payments, including mailing a check or making a payment by phone. We will continue to report your loan payment history accurately to the consumer credit reporting agencies. '' All they have to do is update my phone number instead of trying to ruin my credit. They've dropped it over 100 points over the last few days and that absolutely infuriates me. I had online access. There's no reason I shouldn't be given access to my XXXX account. It's MY ACCOUNT! THEY'D rather destroy a customer 's credit than update a customer 's phone number after 4 months of asking. The worst company I've ever dealt with is PenFed.

Complaint narrative:
hi there - I needed to apply for a background check and wanted to make sure that everything is good on the three credit reporting agencies. I went to XXXX and was unable to download my reports. 

Since I needed the reports I went to experian and created an account with them. Surprisingly these credit reporting companies are more than happy to provide all the information on their website. 

I signed up for their trial and after that now I am bombarded with emails. I want to cancel the account. I tried calling experian number provided- XXXX multiple times and can not get a live person at all. 

Please help in escalating and making sure that they cancel the account. I went into my account and all I can see is sign up for their service. No way to sever ties with them. This is unfortunate and should not be allowed.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX sabotaged my credit profile by reporting inaccurate information. Account is not 30 days late. This is the third time in 3 years that this company has placed derogatory remarks on my credit profile causing my score to suffer tremendously.XXXX credit reporting practices are unethical and they target consumers unfairly. I have not been 30 days late in over 3 years. I recently made a payment less than 30 days late & it was reported to all 3 credit bureaus deceptively. A payment made a few days after the due date is reflected on my credit profile as being 30 days late. This has happened 3 times since 2019. I demand this information be removed from my credit profile immediately.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX Transunion sent 3 copies of my credit report. Each report shows something totally different on the adverse accounts section. I have attached photographed copies of the discrepancies for review. 

I recently submitted a complaint in reference to the incorrect reporting of account XXXX XXXX # XXXX. My question is now after your reinvestigation, why is the payment history showing an X which is unknown status for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX on one report and the other set of reports, the payment history shows an X for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX? 

This is considered FALSE reporting and Im asking for the immediate deletion of this unverified account. You obviously have no proof of the payment history ; therefore, you are putting any status on the account to make it valid. Well, this is wrong and considered false reporting which is a violation of my rights under the FCRA. I demand {$1000.00} fine or we will be forced to take this matter to Federal court and let a judge and jury decide whos correct. 

IF YOU CANT PROVE IT, YOU MUST REMOVE IT!

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of XXXX data breach. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681, Congressional purposes, it is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the need of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter. There exists an obligation for the credit reporting agencies to conduct themselves in a manner that is fair and equitable to me. The continuous reporting of such information deems an improper utilization of my information, which directly conflicts Congressional purposes and reasonable procedures. Prove that I received the delivery of goods ; come to my home and search for the goods they say I received possessions of goods of, or come and see my computer or tap into my bank account so you can see what these alleged possessions are as is the requirement under 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( C ). Please prove this! Hearsay is not admissible. This is according to the federal rules of procedure and evidence! Therefore, these accounts must be removed. You can not lawfully prove that I received delivery of goods, services, and money. These accounts are not related to transactions by me, the consumer, therefore, as a result of this identity theft, these accounts must be removed and blocked. Additionally, I provided a locally filed police report in XX/XX/2022, and Experian has refused to remove the account.
