Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
My husband, XXXX XXXX and I paid off our XXXX XXXX XXXX  Equity Line of Credit Loan ( HELO ) in XX/XX/XXXX. I have repeatedly asked XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and TransUnion to update my credit report concerning this account. I filed disputes with TransUnion in XXXX and again this month, XX/XX/XXXX requesting to update my credit report to reflect the HELOC XXXX XXXX account is paid in full and on-time. I reached out to XXXX XXXX by phone this month XX/XX/XXXX ( once again ) to help correct this credit reporting error. 

I received documentation by email this month, XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage showing that HELOC account has been satisfied. The document shows the lien was reported to my local county and the lien was removed from my property. I requested that TransUnion investigate and confirm that this account is, indeed paid in full and fully closed by XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage since XXXX. My request has fallen on deaf ears for years. This false and inaccurate information has been continuously kept on my TransUnion Credit Report for years causing great damage to my credit score, and financial damage preventing me from acquiring favorable interest rates for much needed home repairs and from obtaining college loans for my children. My house is almost paid off and I have been PREVENTED from applying for a new HELOC loan by this credit reporting error, and also the beneficial credit score rewards of paying off both my former HELOC loan and over 86 % of my house mortgage. 

TransUnion knows that I have an excellent payment history for many years with all of my creditors. Yet, my credit score remains in the extreme low 600 's for YEARS due to many errors that they REFUSE to fix. How can my score be so low after nearly paying off my house since XXXX ( approx. 1 year left of payments ), and fully paying off a {$29000.00} HELOC in XXXX, and no missed payments for all of my other creditors? Why do I always have the extreme low 600 's credit score? ERRORS! 

This will be the last time that I will ask for TransUnion and XXXX XXXX to get together to correct this major error that has been ALLOWED to damage my credit, my personal finances, my family 's ( college ), and my home ( needed repairs ). The next complaint will be higher.

Complaint narrative:
I am experiencing repeated lease denials due to issues with my Experian credit report. Experian 's inability to provide effective customer support and their lack of accessible online services are unacceptable. It is unfair and cruel that I can not access or manage my own information and must rely on an unresponsive company for approvals. This situation not only reflects Experians inadequacy in handling consumer information but also constitutes a violation of fair housing practices.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
This company has violated my right to privacy and has unlawfully reported inaccurate information to the credit reporting agencies. When a creditor forgives or writes off a debt of {$600.00} or more, they are required to report this amount to the IRS using Form 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ), and they must also provide a copy of this form to the debtor. The debtor is then required to include this amount as income when filing their tax return. In which I have not received a copy of.

26 U.S.C. 61 ( a ) : This section defines " gross income '' as " all income from whatever source derived, '' which includes income from the discharge of indebtedness ( i.e., when a debt is forgiven or canceled. Income can not be reported on a credit report.

o Section 602 ( a ) of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) prohibits furnishing inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies o Section 604 ( a ) of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish information about an account without the consumers written instructions o According to 15 U.S.C. 1692c, a debt collector may not communicate with any person other than the consumer ( or their attorney ) regarding a debt without prior consent from the consumer or express permission from a court o Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), if a consumer disputes a debt in writing within 30 days of the initial communication, the debt collector must cease all collection activities until they obtain verification of the debt and provide it to the consumer.

This company refuses to validate any information requested. I recently reported this company they responded informing me that they sold my information to another company. Therefore I am demanding that Immediate Deletion of this account from all consumer reporting agencies and the Cessation of Any Negative Reporting related to this account, including the removal of any adverse information that has been reported.

Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have a Coinbase debit card for XXXX, which is the bank. In the last 3 weeks I noticed 3 refunds that have not hit my account but were refunded and fully processed by the merchant and even processed internally by Coinbase and XXXX. 

Coinbase Card transactions refunded and are not reflecting on the account : - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year> - XXXX USD refunded on XX/XX/XXXX- You spent XXXX USD in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year> refunded on XX/XX/XXXX- You spent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year> refunded on the XXXX. 

None of those have been refunded to my bank yet. I called 5+ times and have opened a chat with them every single day ( sometimes multiple times a day ) since XX/XX/XXXX. I just want my refund. Coinbase and XXXX have processed the refund on their end and have told me so. But they can't tell me why they have not given me the money yet. In my head this is theft. I am unsure why they can't give me my money or at least give me temporary credit while figuring out what internal issues they are having. The lack of any follow-ups with promises given is very alarming especially when they promise follow-ups. They won't even let me speak to the department that is working on my case saying they only work via email. But over 14 days they have not sent me 1 email. Not even 1 to say a case has been opened. I find this to be very ridiculous and just want my money. The {$180.00} refund also is not even showing up in my transactions as a refund which is alarming because now I do not know if there were previous refunds that did not show up that I did not recognize. Coinbase even said to me that it was refunded at first and their end it shows it all refunded. Only when they dug deeper did they say that it was not refunded but it was processed on their end. I wonder how many other consumers that maybe arent as on top of everything are being taken advantage of.
