Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of a fraudulent credit inquiry from my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified an inquiry that was not authorized by me and appears to be the result of fraudulent activity. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Specifically, Section 604 ( a ), a credit inquiry can only be made with my explicit consent or as part of a transaction or application that I initiated. Since this inquiry does not meet these criteria, it is clear that it was made without my authorization and is therefore fraudulent.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to severe mishandling of my escrow account and mortgage payments by Freedom Mortgage, which has caused financial hardship and stress. 

On XX/XX/year>, I first contacted Freedom Mortgage regarding an escrow shortage. I was informed that my property taxes were being incorrectly assessed at 6 % instead of 4 %. I took immediate action and sent a corrected tax bill and reimbursement check on XX/XX/year>. However, Freedom did not update my escrow account until XX/XX/year>, nearly two months later. 

During that time, Freedom Mortgage attempted to draft {$8900.00} from my account. As of XX/XX/XXXX, they had already withdrawn {$4400.00}. I repeatedly contacted their customer service team but received conflicting information on what was owed, whether I would be reimbursed, and when I could make my correct monthly payment of {$1700.00}. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was told again that no reimbursement was needed and that my regular payment would resume XX/XX/XXXX contradicting prior statements and adding to the confusion. 

I am requesting : Immediate reimbursement of any overdrawn funds due to escrow errors A clear written explanation of how the shortage and drafts were calculated Protection from negative credit reporting Compensation for the financial hardship caused by the mismanagement and misinformation

Issue: Struggling to pay your bill — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called my credit card company ( Best Buy ) to inform them that I have moved to XXXX, and that the income that I was making in XXXX is way lower than what I was earning in the United States. I complained of financial difficulties that I was going through and would appreciate it if they could help me to reduce my monthly payment. They agreed and brought my monthly payment down to {$300.00}. I was further assured that, if the new monthly payment becomes unbearable, I could still call back, and request that it should be brought down lower. 

After two monthly payments, I realized that I could not cope with the $ 300 monthly payment. In XX/XX/XXXX, I called requesting a lower monthly payment amount of {$150.00}, but the customer service representative said that was not possible. I was neither given an amount that they deemed acceptable. I reminded the individual that this conversation was recorded and, as per a discussion held on XX/XX/XXXX, I was assured that my monthly payment could be reduced if things were still difficult for me. The customer rep said that they can not change the {$300.00} amount. 

As such, I decided to pay the {$150.00} amount which I could afford. Since then, I have been paying this amount regularly as I have done with other bills in times past. 

Since then, Best Buy has increased my monthly payment from {$300.00}, to {$450.00}, {$600.00}, and for the coming bill, {$750.00}. For every month that I did not pay the {$300.00}, they added the balance {$150.00} to the {$300.00}, and just like that increased the amount that they wanted me to pay, contrary to the discussion that I had with them on XX/XX/XXXX. Worse, they have reported my account to the credit bureau that I am owing past dues, and this has damaged the impeccable credit history that I have built over the years. 

I want this issue to be resolved. I want to pay the amount of {$150.00} every month and I want Best Buy to rectify the damage they have done to my credit history by retracting the information submitted.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers.

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.
