Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Complaint narrative:
My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate

Complaint narrative:
There are some obvious errors in some of my accounts. Please delete these items immediately. It looks like someone literally started a life using my information. I have always paid things in cash and was astounded when I had someone look at my credit. I had previously hired a credit repair company to handle this for me a couple months ago. However, I think they are used to dealing with clients who are ACTUALLY GUILTY. So, I am trying to handle this myself. At the very least please delete these items below until a thorough investigation has taken place. I can barely purchase a bottle of water with what my credit looks like now. I have attached my passport and ID to verify my identity. I assure you none of these accounts will have MY SIGNATURE. Any signatures you may have is due to the person mentioned in the IDENTITY THEFT REPORT stealing my identity and literally starting a life with my information. This is not a Dispute Letter but a Letter of Suppression of the items stated below due to identity theft.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with balance transfer
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I did a balance transfer of roughly {$6100.00} debt from my XXXX credit account to Citi bank around XXXX of XXXX. Citi bank sent a check to the wrong account and I know have been paying interest and payments on the same debt twice ever since. I have made multiple phone calls to both banks and they keep making promises but not calling me back or fixing anything. They have done multiple investigations but keep closing the investigation with the same results telling me heres evidence that the check was sent to XXXX which is irrelevant to the fact that it was sent to the wrong account. The account number is not even close to my account number and I feel basic security like verifying social security and birthday should be done in the first place before sending that much money to anyone. I have spoken with many managers and they keep telling me they will put notes in the system and escalate the issue but everytime I end up waiting about two weeks, calling back and have to start explaining it all over again. I feel at this point they will keep me running around forever without ever solving the issue. This money means nothing to those giant banks but it has been a horrible stress for me for months and I dont see why it is my responsibility to keep pushing and calling to have it fixed. Costumer service should have corrected this instantly there is no way that it is legal that I now have to pay the same debt twice for no reason at all and my money was sent somewhere completely random.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company

Complaint narrative:
To start, last year- when my family needed money in an emergency, I was taken advantage of by a cash-out scenario and excessive points and buy down by your agent. I only realize now, 1 year later when I go to do a streamline IRRRL just how greedy and dishonest FREEDOM MORTGAGE is towards Veterans and the VA programs- it appears they'll stop at nothing to milk as much money out of someone, and only when I begin asking questions, does the truth & lower fees and other items come out. 

XXXX XXXX, Loan Advisor, NMLS # XXXX, XXXX XXXX # XXXX was assigned to me for work on a VA STREAMLINE IRRRL. He out and out " lied to me ''. He claimed over the phone that I would be getting a ( XXXX ) XXXX Point reduction in my loan, but he could only do a 1/2 percentage, essentially taking me from a 6.25 % to 5.75 %. After signing the original paperwork, did I realize that over XXXX would be added to my loan. What was a XXXX loan would be XXXX overnight ( and this was for something that was costing me nothing?? ). Not to mention this DOES NOT MEET Federal Guidelines for a VA IRRRL, this was out and out fraud! FREEDOM MORTGAGE somehow hides the loan after a person signs them, but will provide them if asked for. After several days of asking, I realized that XXXX had lied to me and hid {$5000.00} for a 1/2 point reduction. When the numbers didn't make sense to me, I began to question him - he stopped responding to my emails and phone calls. 

I then had to demand to speak to XXXX ' supervisor ; XXXX XXXX. XXXX was very nice, and offered to remove the XXXX that XXXX had snuck in. But, in the days that followed the change in paperwork, other offers from other banks came in - I was told to send in their offer and the funding team would review it. Every time I would send a better offer in, 1-2 days later, the response would be something to the tune of " we don't view this as a competitive offer '' and cited some technicality that allows FREEDOM to basically ignore or match any offers that beat them. 

A STEAMLINE VA IRRRL is only supposed to cost about XXXX XXXX - not XXXX in hidden fees and charges. And, there should be no reason that FREEDOM is using that program to enrich themselves.
