Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I o  btained my Transunion credit report on line. There were U. S. Bankruptcy Court items listed on my credit reports. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file.
The County Recorder of Deeds and the Bankruptcy Courts have also reviewed the Public Record section youre your Transunion Credit Bureau. They both mailed me letters which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW.
My inquiry to the County Recorder of Deeds and U. S. Bankruptcy Courts confirmed Transunion Credit Bureau has never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they ever be by them. They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering the information indicating a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation, I need all tax lien and bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately.
The Transunion Credit Bureau needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these Public Record Accounts bearing either a court order to place this information in my credit report, or my authorization of release bearing my signature. In the meantime, to be in full compliance with the FCRA laws and guidelines, all the information listed under Public Records needs to be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my name and social security number. Be further advised that I am closely monitoring my credit file. Per the Federal Law, you have exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ).       See document attached from the courts.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX, I contacted Sun Trust with respect to a loan from Sun Trust Bank that I co-signed for my granddaughter ( XXXX XXXX ) and offered a proposed settlement. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a letter from Sun Trust rejecting my extremely fair settlement offer of {$52000.00} ( original loan {$39000.00} ; interest as of XXXX, XXXX of approximately $ XXXX ) over a period of 14 months. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I wrote to XXXX and Trust explaining the reason why I was making the settlement - which included my age and health situations, and that since my granddaughter would not be able to make payments, it was my desire to pay this amount and not have to worry about additional interest later on or my ability to make those interest payments. I filed a complaint with this office ( CFPB ) within the same month ( File # XXXX and XXXX ). Sun Trust responded to the complaint I filed with your office and on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX, Vice President, Client Advocacy Management Office rejecting the offer made in my XXXX XXXX, XXXX letter. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I wrote to XXXX XXXX asking for reconsideration but have not received a response. A copy of this letter was sent to Sun Trust 's  corporate office and to CFPB. Despite XXXX 's promises, she has never made any payment on this account. In approximately two weeks I am scheduled for XXXX  XXXX and face approximately one month or more of extreme XXXX and XXXX. For 3-6  months I will have XXXX XXXX and I do not want to make any decisions - financial or otherwise during that time. Because of this situation with Sun Trust, I am unable to move on to refinancing my current mortgage because of the defaults listed by Sun Trust ( the only negative on my credit at this time ). My  mortgagor has advised me that my mortgage will likely increase to more than {$2000.00} per month (  which I will be unable to pay ) unless I am able to refinance. These are only some of the reasons I am asking Sun Trust for consideration but Sun Trust has one intent only - to charge and receive interest that would put me in terrible hardship. Based on the rate of interest I would never be able to pay off this account during my remaining lifetime. The total now due is $ XXXX ( {$7000.00} in interest added since XX/XX/XXXX ) and at this point I will not be able to make interest payments only or monthly payments period.

Complaint narrative:
We opened joint checking account  XX/XX/XXXX  at  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  (  XXXX   )   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX . We had no issues until after we closed the accoun t  XX/XX/XXXX   when we moved to  XXXX . In   XX/XX/XXXX  our credit score  dropped alarmingly. Upon investigation, we found it was due to   XXXX   reporting that they closed our accoun t  XX/XX/XXXX  d ue to a charge off of {$870.00}. We contacted them & were told that, without our knowledge or authorization, they had re-opened our account & paid a {$870.00}. transaction. And since we never made a deposit to cover that transaction, they had just closed our account & wrote off the {$870.00}. I reminded them that we closed our accoun t  XX/XX/XXXX  & had no knowledge of the transaction & had not authorized them to re-open our account or p ay any charges. The  XXXX  employee told us the only way they would correct the credit report was for us to send them {$870.00}, despite the fact that we were not liable for it. We could not afford to do this. I filed a dispute with Transunion, a month later I received their report stating that  XXXX  had assured them that the facts as they stated them were accurate so TransUnion did not delete the account. Their investigators did nothing other than talk to a  XXXX  employee. Documentation showed we closed the account  in  XX/XX/XXXX  & t hat we had not initiated the {$870.00} transaction, if they had asked for it. Meanwhile, ou r credit score contin ues to remain low.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
They mailed us a letter saying we were delinquent and gave us options to avoid Foreclosure, but we have made every payment, and they concurred we were up to date on our payments, and we asked for a letter stating that we should never have received a delinquent letter due to their mistake. The first person basically told my wife when she first called that we would n't have got that letter if we made our payments and then they told my wife that they do not normally send letters but would see what they could do. I have been trying to speak to an upper level  manager  and so far I have been unsuccessful. I just want to speak with somebody above a front line supervisor who can make decisions and so far they have n't allowed me to. This was a very aggressive letter, especially when you get it on Saturday evening and you have no immediate recourse.

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Almost two months ago I attempted to open a Navy Federal checking + savings account. I went through the entire online process without issue and was not notified of any problems. I deposited at that time {$95.00} into a checking account, {$5.00} as required into their savings. Approximately two weeks went by and after receiving no email contact, phone calls, or snail mail, I called in. I was told that they needed to verify ID and proof of address. I said, great, not a problem, got the ID number XXXX, a fax number, and sent the required items over. Again another week or two went by, zero communication, zero notification of any problems. I called in yet again. This time I was told my ID did n't come through OK. I told the woman I spoke to, fine, I 'll email it directly to the pertinent department. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a scanned, high resolution copy of my license, along with access code XXXX to XXXX. No response. Crickets. No mail, no phone, no anything. Yet again I call in to get a status update. Apparently that email, despite going to the precise email address provided - and despite having CONFIRMATION that the email was sent, apparently went into an abyss. I told THAT woman that either this gets resolved on the phone today ( at this time, late XX/XX/XXXX, more than a month after attempting to open the account ) or the account is closed today. The relevant department did not find the email and did not provide a convenient means to provide that information for a third time, thus I immediately demanded closure of the account. Closure was GUARANTEED. REfer to the XXXX recording that you supposedly keep. And a check in the mail was to be sent. And yet on XX/XX/XXXX I receive a letter in the mail requesting ID and proof of address to be sent. Which btw, was quite literally the first communication from Navy Federal to me at any point in this two month process. All other communication was me having to get in touch with Navy Federal And on this call, I 'm told that I need to show up at a bank location to close the account and get my XXXX money back. I 've wasted multiple hours and now I 'm being told a simple closure process that gets me my XXXX money back requires wasting MORE time as you are n't around the XXXX corner. I WANT MY XXXX MONEY BACK AND I WANT YOU TO LOSE ANY AND ALL OF MY INFORMATION If that does n't happen, I 'm taking everything viral. I have consumer 's list of 100k that I will put this story in front of and I will incentivize it going viral if need be.

Complaint narrative:
I made a {$50000.00} principal payment on a {$300000.00} loan. {$2700.00} was carved out as a monthly payment, charging {$700.00} in intere st ( this is monthly interest charged for a 6 day period ). The monthly payment was paid 6 days earlier. THUS, Chase was effectively " stealing '' from me. I file this complaint for the sole purpose of alerting others. CHECK YOU R STATEMENTS, UNDERSTAND THE MATH. It should be assumed that a financial institution would be capable of processing and servicing a loan. If they ca n't do this, they should be banned from this business.
