Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Hi and how are you doing? Im not sure who to take this to anymore, but Ive disputed this account several times with both the original creditor and the credit reporting agencies accordingly and Ive attached everything to support my dispute. However, I continue to received a pre-template letter sent to me that its been verified and it REMAINS. How is it possible that this was verified if you continue to report incomplete, inconsistent, inaccurate, and unverifiable information on this account and a thorough and in-dept investigation. Ive disputed and I havent received anything as such, but it continues to be reported in violation of the consumer laws. 
Continues to report wrong balance, incorrect date of first delinquency, wrong date of last active, inconsistent payment status, high balance and actual balance is questionable, etc. I believe that section 609 of  FCRA also allows me to ask for detail information about the account and how you indeed investigated and your detail process. Im extremely upset and shocked about the way this charge-off account is reporting on my credit report which continues to report with incomplete, inconsistent and unverifiable Info. How can you honestly say that you verified as it being accurate? This was NOT verified! I am requesting this investigation under the authorization of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 623. ( a ) ( 8 ) ability of consumer to dispute information directly with the furnisher. 

What I am disputing : The account you have reported to the three credit bureaus. My basis for this dispute is that I have no knowledge of this account.

Complaint narrative:
I would say for the past seven months. there have been letters sent out to PORTFOLIO RECOVERY they can provide that those accounts are indeed mine. I will be attaching one of the letters to this complaint. I have not even ONCE received anything from that PORTFOLIO RECOVERY to justify their collecting attempts and reporting it on all three credit bureaus. Where in their comments on my credit report they stated " meets FCRA requirements ''. Well I sent out letters pertaining to these account they are reporting to the credit bureaus and in no WAY they are " MEETING FCRA REQUIREMENTS '' I asked for verification and I received nothing. If I am not mistaken If I am not supplied with the evidence after 30 days THOSE I ITEM WILL BE DELETED FROM ALL THREE CREDIT BURUREAS.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had a discover account and a credit card for that account that was enrolled in auto pay for several years. At some point, my credit card was stolen and after reporting I was sent a new credit card. I did not use this card for a few years until I was asked to either use the card or the account would be closed. Consumers should not be forced to use a card. 
However, I used the card to make purchase and months later I received an alert on my credit monitoring service that my account was delinquent. 

On contacting the customer service dept about why my card did not auto pay the amount, they mentioned that discover uses the same number for credit card and account number ( an internal detail ) and that changing a credit card number changes the account number and therefore the auto pay setting was turned off. I received no email, no text message, no phone call notifying me that my account was past due. When I talked to the agent she asked me to check my statement and my statement showed due date in the future and no indication of having missed a payment. She then walked me through the previous balance and interest charged and then mentioned because you have previous balance your account should be considered due ( Note that accounts can have previous balance even if you make minimum payments and this is not an accurate method to say the account is past due ). Totally horrible customer experience and discover was not willing to acknowledge that they are at fault. 

Internal details of a company and how their cards or security work shouldn't impact the end client and their financial future.

Company: FORD MOTOR CREDIT CO.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I ordered a new vehicle from XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CT. I was contacted on XX/XX/XXXX that my vehicle was delivered. I was sent the website link for Ford Motor Credit to apply for a loan to take delivery. I filled out the online application on XX/XX/XXXX at Ford Motor Credit. The website specifically explains my information will not be shared. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX  my application was printed and the information provided to XXXX XXXX XXXX  without my approval or notification. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX provided me information for my insurance binder. It was at that time I was told I was financed with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I inquired why my credit was ran and shopped to other institutions. I was told that I authorized this with the consumer release I signed at the dealer when I ordered my truck. Since the dealership was closed due to covid I knew this was a lie. I did not sign any release. I decided to go forward with the purchase since I was without a car at that point since my car was sold to the dealer the week prior. On XX/XX/XXXX at delivery I was given the credit application to sign authorizing my credit to be ran. Obviously this was a moot point since my credit was already ran. I specifically did not want my credit ran multiple times and didn't care to get the " best available rate '' since my intent was to pay off the loan after purchase. I only took the loan for east of transaction. The loan was paid off the day after delivery. The second reason I do not allow my loan to be shopped it I own a small business. I do not allow my information to be shared as it could cross the desk of a local regional bank and be seen by a customer. Both XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX  ran my credit and shared my personal information without approval. I have worked on getting the additional inquiries off of my report for 6 weeks. The bank has not been supportive in getting the inquiry removed.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have a business and I deposited a check paid to me from the University XXXX XXXX. 

For no reason given Bank of America has placed my check on hold for ten days. I deposited the check on Sunday the XXXX of XXXX and Bank of America is holding the check till the XXXX of XXXX. 

I've reached up to the bank and they said they couldn't give me a reason for the hold.

According to federal law they can not just hold my money without giving me any reason, and least for 10 days.

I need that money to pay bills and the bank has no right to hold my money for such lengthy period of time.

Thank you

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I tried unlocking my Security Freeze with Equifax on XX/XX/2020. The login feature on their website indicated that my password was incorrect. It asked me to call XXXX. I called the number and a woman asked me a series of questions about my credit history. She stated that I gave her incorrect information about my credit history ( all of the information was accurate ).

The stated the information was not showing as correct. I was able to lift my security freezes easily with XXXX  and XXXX. I'm in the process of trying to buy a home. 

I was hung up on twice by Equifax representatives trying to resolve the matter. My information has never changed and I've logged in more than 5 times over the past two years with no problems. 

Equifax either has bad data or technicians that aren't inputting information correctly to verify identities.
