State: AP

Complaint narrative:
I live in XXXX, and went to a restaurant to purchase drinks. I paid for drinks using my debit card and it totaled about {$32.00}. I gave the waiter my card to charge but did not get a receipt. I didn't think anything about it because I have never had any fraud issues on my account. The next day I checked my account and noticed to large charges from the same place for {$350.00} and {$1100.00}. I Immediately called bank and they froze my account and sent out a new card. 
The bank sent me a letter on three separate occasions stating that the charges were not fraud, but I explained to them that I did not authorize the charge.

-For the first charge, the bank supposedly got a receipt from the restaurant stating that I was charged an entrance and drinks for a total of {$350.00}. I explained again that I did not make those charges. Their excuse was that I gave the merchant the card, then it must have been valid. I also asked for a copy of the receipt, but to date they have not sent it to me.

-I also asked about the 2nd charge of {$1100.00} and they stated that they did not have a receipt, but since i filed it as fraud and they determined it wasn't, they closed the case!

I think it is totally disrespectful how they treat a retired XXXX XXXX XXXX and a member of USAA for over 40 years. This vendor stole my money and my bank is blatantly accusing me of lying. PLEASE HELP OR ADVISE ME ON FOLLOW ON ACTIONS.

I resubmitted and FTC report for the second time to both XXXX and Experian along with the verifying documents. XXXX and Experian continue to report false information. They are stating that the information is verified.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
For the past 20 years, I have been unable to receive a credit report from Transunion. Each that free credit reports have been available, I have been denied. when contacting the company, they say that it is an error and I need to verify information, Once the information is verified, I am always promised a credit report but I never receive one. On XX/XX/23, I tried again and received the same error message, I spoke with customer service via chat who informed me of a duplicate credit report, after some back and for I was told I could wait to receive a call from them to straighten things out, I explained that wouldn't work for me and that I needed a direct contact for for the department that handles the issue. I was given a number, I requested an email address so that I could address the head of the department directly but was told that one was unavailable. I have repeatedly been denied lines of credit, loans etc because of Transunion failing to provide me with a copy of my credit report. They have my information to verify who I am but say they can't verify who I am. I am very frustrated behind this. Tranunion is reporting false/ inaccurate information on my report but denying me the right to see and dispute the incorrect entries.
