Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I have reached out to all three credit bureaus regarding the account that is listed below : XXXX XXXX Now this account is open but is not reporting information to each credit bureaus. I have sent in dispute letting each credit bureaus know that the account they are reporting inaccurate information. Each credit bureau has different information that they are reporting. When if the credit bureaus are getting the same information from the same furnisher, then how is that they all have different information. 

I have sent each credit bureau the credit report that shows that each of their credit report is showing different information. 

I have highlighted, sent in a dispute letter and provided them with all the information, and they are still reporting that the information is accurate, and they have updated, and it shouldn't be updated. Because they have not reached out to the furnisher about if the account is accurate or what information that need to be reported.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I request that the fees and interest charges accumulated in the amounts of {$190.00} and {$280.00} accumulated during XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX in regard to my accounts ending in XXXX and XXXX be reimbursed to me. During that time period, XXXX XXXX erroneously charged my cards and would not cancel my membership as agreed. After several months of disputing the legitimacy of the charges, the company finally admitted wrongdoings and attempted to reverse the charges through Discover. However, XXXX XXXX informed me that Discover would not accept the reversal. So they sent me a check for the charges. By that time the above-stated fees and interest had accumulated. Discover refused to take the charges off my accounts and closed my accounts. They stated that the reason for closing the account was that I did not give them updated income verification within their timeline. I do not recall receiving any correspondence requesting that information. When asked why they didn't call me, I was given a made-up phone number. I have paid the fees and interest charges so that it would not further damage my credit. However, again, I want reimbursement of payments.
