Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money — 
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I set up a permanent recurring online transfer, once every six months between Ally Bank and an external account without limiting it to a number of transfers or an end date. I received an email alert stating the following : " Ally Bank Alert Ally Hello, XXXX XXXX There 's only one more scheduled transfer for your recurring plan. 


Amount : {$0.00} From : Ally Bank, Checking To : XXXX " Ally Bank refused to contact me with follow up information and demanded instead that I contact them repeatedly until they figure out the issue. This bank has made repeated egregious errors which I have previously reported to the CFPB and has demonstrated a consistent inability and unwillingness to address or resolve them.

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed 3 times XXXX claim of XXXX in the amount of XXXX. It comes back VERIFIED, NO CHANGE. Yet i have talked to this Collection Agency several times as I have never belonged to a gym in my life. After finally talking to XXXX XXXX from the collection agency, he informed me he has my name and date of birth, however this Gym has been out of business several years. I responded that this was not my debt, and asked if he had a signed contract. I would imagine you would sign something if you are in a contract for owing money as they claim. He said, No they are no longer in business. However i was free to do what i needed to do as far as reporting them for false debt. I have went through great lengths and Transunion has not verified any debt, but yet reports it as such. This is by my knowledge not legal and is dragging my credit down causing great stress and denial of credit, even though my family has a lot of great active revolving credit lines including installment car loans on my record. Someone needs to be held accountable, and this false debt should have been removed 90 days ago. Obviously XXXX XXXX does not feel someone could possibly use another name and date of birth to obtain something, because they sure do n't have my signature or a contract agreeing to any sort of membership.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account status
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
This account is being reported as it current status is collection/chargeoff and is showing as delinquent on my credit reports. The payment history on this account is being reported incorrectly and NOT BEING REPORTED FAIRLY. I was laid off in XX/XX/XXXX. With no job or income, I stopped paying on my credit accounts. The last payment on this account was in XX/XX/XXXX. You can clearly see on the attached info from XXXX that the payment status switched to NR in XX/XX/XXXX. This account went into default and was transferred to XXXX. This does not constitute a payment and this account is being reported past the 7 year threshold for showing on a credit report and should be deleted. I have disputed this several times with the credit agencies and I have written to XXXX several times as well and this is still being reported incorrectly on my credit report and is stopping me from getting a mortgage. 

If this is not deleted then the account payment history needs to be updated and merged with my student loan account with XXXX. When I defaulted on my student loan in XXXX, I had XXXX account, I now have XXXX accounts on my credit reports and XXXX are showing as delinquent. This is not fair to me and does not accurately reflect my payment history with my student loans. I should have XXXX account ( with XXXX ) that shows that I have paid on this since XXXX and is current and paid as agreed status. The way these are currently being reported is that I have XXXX accounts that I stopped paying on in XXXX, which is not true and is painting an unfair picture. Please delete these accounts immediately from my credit reports.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX 's XXXX XXXX will remain on credit report as a debt written off by company in 2011. A recovery company can not assume a written off debt. They must remove their company from my credit report, due misrepresentation of written off debt by another company. Plus there has been no billing in XXXX plus years from either company. I had unemployment insurance that was suppose to cover all debt. XXXX did not honor, they just applied what I had paid unto bill. I will not assume a debt that has been written off and Transunion should remove this company & Transunion can not change the status of the original write off to assumed debt by portfolio. XXXX can not write it off getting credit from the government for bad debt. They can not sell off zero balances. I will join a class action filing if this is not remedied.

I was using Ally Bank Bill pay service to pay the monthly rent for my apartment. 
For the month of XXXX, XXXX and XXXX the rent has been paid using the Bill Pay. My account shows that money has been check has been delivered to the landlord and money debitted from my account. But my landlord is not accepting that money has been received. Finally I was put onto the eviction and I was told that I need to pay the month of XXXX 2016 rent with late fees? What 's going on? Who is right - Bank or this landlord. Today in the court this landlord said via his attorney that check has been sent to me via certified mail which I am yet to receive ... for more than 30+ days - i am showing the money has been debitted. I was out of country for almost 6.5 weeks so could n't follow with Ally Bank but they are saying follow up with the landlord. But the landlord is not willing to even talk - one needs to talk to the attorney. I end up paying late payment and unfortunately the original check money is also gone from my account. If money is debited from my account and check has been delivered but landlord is saying that they do n't have the money then where is the money?

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I contacted the BBB regarding a mis-reporting of my credit score from TransUnion LLC. They report to me XXXX credit score that falsely leads me to believe I am in " fair '' market value for obtaining credit or a loan, but then they report a totally different score to the lender or creditor. This is " Unfair '' credit reporting and biasly misrepresents my credit worthiness. The score they report to me, should be the same score reported to the lender or creditor. 
Both the BBB and TransUnion completely side-stepped the issue and the only resolution they offered was to send me a " free '' credit report. 
I have also contacted them regarding a credit reporting from a " claimed '' creditor that indicates I owe them money for a rental property from 2013. I did not owe the money then and disputed it with the creditor. The creditor refused to show " proof '' that I owed and they never acted on their claim ( i.e. filing suit to obtain a legal judgment making me responsible for said amount ). I have asked for proof of Court Ordered Judgment stating that I owe this creditor, but they refuse to produce or admit that they actually have one. Without this proof, they have no legal right to place this item against my credit. I have repeatedly asked for its removal as there is no proof that it is my responsibility to pay, but both TransUnion and the creditor will not comply. Again, this is " Unfair '' credit reporting and in direct violation of the FCRA and consumer protection laws.
