Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Bank of Americas Failure to Issue 1099-C for Account BANK OF AMERICA Dear Sir/Madam , I am writing to formally file a complaint against Bank of America for failing to issue a 1099-C form for the cancellation of debt on my account. Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with the bank, they have not provided the required 1099-C form for the tax year XXXX related to the cancellation of debt associated with my account BANK OF AMERICA .

The IRS requires that creditors issue a 1099-C form when a debt of {$600.00} or more is canceled. I believe I am entitled to this form because my debt was forgiven by Bank of America, and I am now unable to file my taxes accurately due to the banks failure to issue this important form.

I have contacted Bank of America multiple times via phone on XXXX  to request the 1099-C, but I have not received a response or resolution. The lack of communication and failure to comply with IRS reporting requirements is causing significant stress and could result in potential tax penalties for me.

I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this matter and assist in facilitating the issuance of the 1099-C form by Bank of America for both Accounts, or otherwise advise me on the appropriate steps to resolve this issue.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt assistance.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy.

Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I are in the middle of the home buying process and found out that there was a collection made against me for an outstanding balance for our homeowners insurance on our current house. I was not aware of this outstanding balance ( {$250.00} ) as our insurance is paid out of escrow through our mortgage company. I have reached out multiple times to get the mortgage company to resolve this with no luck. I finally made the payment to the collection agency earlier today to close out the outstanding balance but they will not remove the collection from my credit report. This hit on my credit is a severe detriment to our homebuying capability and will possibly prevent us from being able to afford our new mortgage payment.

My account was frozen on XX/XX/year> and no reason was given in the email. I called the customer service and they would not help. I went through the message chat and got no help. I asked if I could transfer the {$270.00} I have in the account back to my bank and close the account but was refused. Venmo is holding my money indefinitely and will not tell me how to rectify the issue so I can access my money. The only thing they will say is they have to send it to the account specialist and I need to wait for an email. I dont have a significant amount of money in the account but it is MY money and they should have to release it back to me so I can close the account.

I am currently a grad student. They never told me that I had to be a half time student or more for MOHELA to label my account as loan deferred as student. This semester in XXXX I was taking a deferred course and another course at the university ( XXXX classes which is part time ). I didn't think there was any issue, since they informed me that I didn't have to pay as long as I am in school. A few months later, I noticed my credit score was dinged and I went from a XXXX score to XXXX! credit score report showed that it was from Mohela school loans. Made a payment and also made several attempts to sign up for autopay as to not have this an issue again. The next month, I checked my credit score and I noticed it wasn't changed considering I am up to date. Checked Mohela account and saw that they reversed payment again and took me out of autopay again. So I made another manual payment and signed up for autopay yet again. This process happened again the following month. I just want this removed from my credit score since I have been trying to make payment since last year. I tried calling and sending emails. Response has not fixed the issue and they give no reason why I can't seem to use autopay feature to make sure this doesnt happen again. I understand it takes a while to sign up autopay but Mohela keeps reversing it and then dinging my credit. Any assistance is helpful.
