Product: Prepaid card — Government benefit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase or transfer — Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer
Company: FISERV FINXACT CORE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My online account was hacked in XX/XX/XXXX and the entirety of my Paid Family Leave Benefits ( about {$8000.00} ) were transferred to an outside account that is not mine. I filed a Dispute on XX/XX/XXXX for the transaction. On XX/XX/XXXX, it was denied stating the bank did receive that funds, however that wasn't the basis of my dispute. My dispute was that I did not request this transfer. I filed an appeal on XX/XX/XXXX and submitted supporting documents from my online banking app showing the last four digits of the account and routing number that were entered in my profile as an outside bank. At the time I also requested the transaction ID so that we could obtain the full routing and account number to track down the bank it was sent to. I was also given the option to request documentation as to why the claim was denied in the first place, I requested them and have yet to receive them. My Appeal forms were marked as received on XX/XX/XXXX. I have called in several times since then, with no update until XX/XX/XXXX when I was informed that the date on the forms was changed to XX/XX/XXXX as received and no one has been able to confirm why the date changed. I have escalated this to management who have sent in at least 5 emails to the fraud department requesting updates on the appeal and was told that in 72 hours there would be a response. Still there is no response. XX/XX/XXXX is the 90 day mark since I filed the appeal and I am supposed to have some sort of resolution however today I was told that they are behind and it may not be within the 90 days that my appeal will be processed. I had also requested to speak with a manager of the escalations team, in hopes that they would have more push to get some sort of answer from the fraud department. I was told they have to submit a call back from and I would get a call within 48 hours.. well you guessed it. No call back either. I have no confidence that my dispute or appeal were even looked at nor will this process be done on XX/XX/XXXX. Since the other party is the CA government ( EDD ), I have absolutely no ground to stand on in going that route to get my money back either...

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX I am trying to set up credit freezes with the three credit reporting companies for an " incapacitated adult '' with XXXX who without clear awareness wracked up thousands in credit card debt and is now in collections due to them opening credit cards without anyone 's knowledge. The three companies have different requirements and methods of application. The worst by far was Experian which has a hyperlink advertising " minor children and incapacitated adults '' ( XXXX XXXX XXXX.experian.comXXXX  ) but when you click on it, there is not a single mention of incapacitated adults on the entire webpage ( XXXX XXXX XXXXwww.experian.com/XXXX  ). I used the help and search features with nothing showing up. I called every single number I could find online. The phone tree provides no opportunity to ask a general question or provide the answer to this one. It eventually cut me off - at every single number I used ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX- which I received an automated response the email was decommissioned XX/XX/year>. ) HOW IS A CONSUMER SUPPOSED TO USE THESE PROTECTIONS IF THEY ARE SO INACCESSIBLE? This should not be hard or varied. Experian 's failure to make is accessible online or XXXX provide what is required for incapacitated adults is discriminatory to people with XXXX and should be considered as such.
