Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am just learning that this was available so I do not have dates. 

I contacted TransUnion ( via XXXX XXXX app ) to notify them that the information from one of my longest owned credit cards was incorrect. After submitting my claim a few months went by and the entire card was removed from my TransUnion credit report. XXXX XXXX provided know way for me to notify TransUnion of this error. 

I began calling TransUnion everyday for weeks where I kept reaching the first level of customer support and was informed that a note was made but they could not help me any further where I then asked to speak to a supervisor. Everytime, support would transfer me to someone and the phone would ring for hours until it would automatically hang up. 

I was never able to speak with anyone about the matter beyond the initial customer service agent. One of them informed me that when they remove a record from a report they also block the record from being updated on the report ( basically when the creditor reports to them about that card it is automatically rejected ). 

It has been some years since this occured and I lost hope on getting it corrected. I lost hope until I came across this website. 

The correct information appears on my XXXX credit report but not on my TransUnion report. I would really like for both reports to be accurate.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I received an unsolicited Visa Signature credit card from XXXX with a credit limit of {$5200.00}. I did not ask for it, and neither did my wife. I'm sure they checked my credit report before sending it to me, which negatively impacts my credit score. I called them to cancel the card, and told them that I would be reporting this to you guys. They said they couldn't cancel the card without me providing them my home address and last four of my Social Security number. I don't want to give these people ANY more of my personal information. I provided them the card number that they sent to me, and the city that I live in, but they said they could not cancel the card without verifying the full address. I'd like to file a complaint with you about their illegal and unethical business practices, and let you know that I have shredded the card and all accompanying material.

Complaint narrative:
I was on XXXX XXXX and was not able to access the lender web portal for payment, I usually setup Auto Payments on my accounts to avoid missed payments, I did not do so on this account as it was relatively new. Fast forward, unintentionally the payment was missed, when received a certified mail from lender ( I can monitor my USPS account ) I rushed into calling the lender and clear my ledger- this was very expensive call to make. 

I never missed a payment once, this was purely due to IT issues, not fair to see such damage to my credit report which I worked very hard to maintain for access or IT issues.

I contacted the bank several times and explained my situation in terms of high interest rate and financial limitation to handle such burden. I work as a XXXXXXXX  at the hospital and yearly income is less than {$25000.00}. 
At some point they gave me a deal after reviewing my situation of hardship and agreed to lower the monthly payment to {$400.00} with a low interest rate as well. After few months the monthly payment went up to {$900.00} and now they are imposing a monthly payment of {$1000.00} plus. My family is going through a financial hardship as well. 
I already submitted a complaint to the your agency in the past but the Bank keep squeezing me. The amount mentioned above is interest payment only which is intolerable unreal and abusive.
