Consumer complaint received 2017-12-22 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a dispute to Transunion through XXXX XXXX for an itme on my report. Note that at the same time I also submitted the same dispute to XXXX and XXXX and by today, XX/XX/XXXX both of those agencies have long since investigated the item and removed it from my report. 
I received an email confirmation that the dispute was submitted to Transunion on XX/XX/XXXX and also a confirmation along with a file number appears in my XXXX XXXX account. 
When I had still not heard from Transunion I tried calling to follow up. Transunion denies that I filed the dispute despite my proof and the fact that the other agencies did receive it and remove it. Not only did they deny that I had disputed the item on XX/XX/XXXX they gave me the run around as to what I was doing and were rude and unhelpful. 
The law states that they have 30 days to address the dispute which they did not do and despite the fact that I have proof of submission they refuse to help me. XXXX did finally agree to resubmit after arguing in cicrcles with me on the phone for over an hour and talking but that is setting the clock further along and is not what they are legally obligated to do.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Ive tried a total of 5 times, this being the 6th. I have an inaccurate account on my credit report with Experian. The account is from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

The issue states that the vehicle is a paid charge off. How is it a charge off AFTER I paid in full? Experian is not doing their full investigation and has yet to show me how theyve verified this information. Experian has STILL yet to give me any exact dates that i ask regarding this account because they are unable to. If this isnt fixed, Ill be forced to file a complaint with the FTC and Attorney General.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I had my FHA mortgage with XXXX XXXX XXXX for 7 years, I autopaid my mortgage and was never late with a payment. My housing costs were 20 % of my income and I had no financial hardships or issues with my mortgage. 

In XXXX XXXX I received a notice that my mortgage was being transferred to LoanCare , LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX ) and that I would get a bill from them the following month, I did, I paid it by check and called to set up an auto-payment, I could not get through to anyone, I called dozens and dozens of times, it is an endless loop of automated phone messages. If you stay on for the full hour plus to get through all the prompts and ask to talk to a customer service representative, you get a recording to send them a written note by mail. 

They made it impossible to pay my bill, then after one month I started getting notices in XXXXnglish and Spanish that I was going to lose my house if I did n't pay, and started getting XXXX packages with notices to refinance with them ( I did not need to refinance and it would have not been financially advantageous for me to refinance ), if I called the number on their predatory lending arm, a person immediately answered, but said they could not help process my mortgage payments and had no way of communicating with their loan servicing arm. 

I ultimately had to pay for a lawyer to just get them to process my payment. I was moving in with my new husband and wanted to keep my townhouse as a rental and build my assets but they were so horrible I decided to sell then continue to fight with them. 

I felt like I had to register a complaint, I have sold my house but the reviews of this company are terrible - thousands of people have posted online that they have tried to take their homes or have taken their homes. I was lucky enough to be educated and have resources to protect myself, but many do not, this company is making it logistically impossible for working class people to pay their mortgages and then they are stealing their homes acting as if people failed to pay. They need to be taken to court, and possibly be held criminally liable. This is beyond bad business practices.

Consumer complaint received 2017-12-22 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage was sold to Loancare LLC in XX/XX/XXXX. We registered on their website to make the monthly payments via the web. When I tried to make my current payment, although I have fifteen day grace, I realized the company added a {$10.00} fee to my payment. As I read down the page, they started to charge their customers : On or 1-4 days after due date - No Fee 5-9 days after due date - {$5.00} 10-15 days after due date - {$10.00} Our due date is the first of the month and we paid it on XX/XX/XXXX. We have email & receipt confirmation of such, but they did not process/post the payment until XX/XX/XXXX. 

This was the first time we had to pay any such fee since our mortgage was sold. Ive made multiple calls to them and have had reps tell me it was a late fee or a service fee. When I would tell them this was a VA loan, they would change it to a processing fee. When I asked why we never had this until this month, they said the info was posted on their site a few months ago. I told them I never received this change in writing, as we have all of our monthly statements from them, the reps said again, it was posted online. 

I also asked how they could just change my terms and charge this fee, they would say if its paid before due date, there is no fee. So this is a late fee disguised as a service fee, where they fiddled with the dates to increase the fee to their benefit. The fee was listed as a One Time Draft Fee under a separate section. 

When I asked why my payment was not credited as being paid on the eighth, I was told its credited as the day its processed, not when its paid. This is clear violation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Systems XX/XX/XXXX final rule, that added 226.36 ( c ) to Regulation Z concerning mortgage loan servicing practices. Section 226.36 ( c ) requires loan servicers to credit a payment to a consumer 's loan account as of the date it is received, provided the consumer is not penalized by the delay in posting. 

I asked to speak to a manager and was told to submit my complaint in writing.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted disputes on XXXX and XXXX of XXXX and have not received anything but the standard its been verified letter from only one of the bureaus. Not once did any of the credit bureaus send me verifiable documents showing that these accounts should be on my report. These accounts I have disputed should not be on my report and I want them removed immediately if they can not furnish me with the documents I have requested. As a consumer it is my right under the Fair Credit Act to request 100 % viable proof that those accounts disputed belong to me. If this is not done, the credit reporting agency MUST DELETE THE ACCOUNTS. I am asking that the accounts listed in my disputes to Trans Union - XXXX and XXXX be deleted immediately as they have taken well over the time frame and have not provided me with any kind of proof whatsoever.
