Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I initiated a balance transfer of {$2100.00} on XXXX. After the transfer cleared, I continued to use my card for purchases. I routinely paid those balances off as they posted and was in the process of slowly paying down the balance transfer amount. However, today, my XXXX statement showed that the balance transfer amount was XXXX dollars and the remaining balance was categorized under purchases. This is a violation of the Credit CARD Act of 2009. The regulation states that institutions may apply minimum payments to any balances they choose. However, payments exceeding the minimum balance must be applied to the highest APRs first before being applied to lower APR balances, such as balance transfers.

I spoke with a manager regarding this concern and was informed that payments would be applied to my oldest purchases first, including the balance transfer, thus leaving the purchase balances to accrue interest. She obviously was unaware of the law passed in 2009. I called back a second time and spoke with a different manager, who thankfully reapplied the 0 % promo period and refunded my interest charge. 

My primary concern is that this violation of Federal Law is most likely happening to many other consumers. Secondarily, I spoke with a manager who was unaware of the law, gave me false information, and tried to stick with this interest charge in spite of my being correct about the situation. 

Please look into this for us. 

Thank you.
