Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, I went to the website XXXX and tried to request my free annual report to be provided to me through the U.S. Postal system. I was on a public computer with no connected printer. This was not possible. The website only allows an online viewing and printing. 

The site provided a " contact us '' tab which provided only one phone number : XXXX. I called this number about 15 times and was unsuccessful in requesting my report. I do not have a phone and could not provide my phone number when requested. The answering machine would not let me proceed past this point. I tried many other options but never could get to a human. 

I went back to the XXXX website and in the FAQs there are directions for downloading a form and submitting your request in writing. I have searched everywhere on the website but there is no form and no link to download a form.

I have had my American Express card since XXXX. It has always been set up on autopay and i have never missed a payment on this or any other credit account i have ever had.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a dispute to credit agency Equifax. I had 3 items that I requested be removed as the debt had not be validated as mine. As of today XX/XX/XXXX I had not been notified of the results. Their online system still shows that my dispute is pending. I called Equifax 's automated line and it also states investigation is still pending. In addition, I spoke to several agents who stated that in their system it showed the investigation was completed on XX/XX/XXXX and that was sufficient, however I was never notified of the results of the investigation and their website still states there is no resolution to my dispute. They offered to send me the results via mail, which I agreed however it has been way over the 30 days mandated by law and under the Fair Credit Reporting Act that they must respond to my dispute. 
I can provide paperwork that shows proof of the above.

Company: American Coradius International LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
We received a letter in the mail regarding a debt with XXXX XXXX from American Coradius International LLC. That debt was paid last year, however since we did n't realize about it and we " trusted '' the letter, we accesed the online payment option which was only able to be paid with debit card or check. " The debt '' was paid with debit card just to avoid any issues, however we realized something was wrong. We called this company, they couldnt provide ANY information about it, their verification procedure was none, they said their system was down and will call back whenever the system gets back. There is only one guy answering the phone ( from a collections company, pretty strange ). Several calls after they got me to a " supervisor '' that could n't tell us ANYTHING about the debt. They did not want to return the payment and said that we should call the card to dispute the charge, but since it is debit, the money is already gone. 
We are furious. We wish that someone goes after them and uncovers the truth. There are many people reviewing the company fake online as a scam. Looks like that company also violated many collection laws.

Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I had a lease through Toyota Financial Services ( TFS ) which ended. I received a letter from TFS dated XX/XX/XXXX, stating I owed {$430.00}. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX ( Agent XXXX ) who reviewed the charges. Most of the charges were incorrectly billed to my account. There was a questionable amount remaining of {$62.00}. That amount was for a pro rated property tax amount due from the previous lease holder ( the lease is a transfer ). XXXX was not sure I owed this charge and told me to call back on XX/XX/XXXX to confirm the status of this charge. 

When I called back on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told the amount went to collection with XXXX XXXX. To avoid reporting to credit agencies I promptly paid the balance. 

Going back to TFS on XX/XX/XXXX I have been transferred around several times and once again was told to call back. 

In the interim I have been transferred to 5 different people, all from different departments of TFS ( or some other corporate entity of Toyota? )

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Citi Diamond Preferred credit card with a credit line of {$3700.00} with {$1200.00} available for balance transfer ( 0 % for 19 months ). I activated the card by phone, and set up a user name and password online, and indicated I would be interested in a balance transfer to XXXX XXXX. On XXXX I set up a {$1200.00} balance transfer to XXXX XXXX for mid XXXX, but had a {$980.00} airline ticket refund, so immediately called back to CitiCard to cancel the {$1200.00} transfer and initiate a {$270.00} transfer to pay off the remaining XXXX XXXX balance. Following this, I checked on line through chat service and many times looked at my transaction lists to make sure this was processed correctly, even called back to make sure the {$270.00} would clear in time. 

In a surprise to me, on Monday XXXX CitiCard processed a {$1000.00} balance transfer to XXXX XXXX, giving me a negative {$1000.00} credit limit with XXXX XXXX. I called on XXXX to CitiCard to ask what this {$1000.00} balance transfer was, and was told I iniated this on line. I asked how I couldnt be informed of this when I called, and how was I allowed to do redundant transfers to the same company, and how this {$1000.00} transfer did not even show up on my transaction list as pending ... They had no answers, and XXXX badge XXXX told me they must have assumed I knew, and I should call XXXX XXXX to refund. Bottom line, CitiCard withheld basic account balance information from me on multiple occasions and allowed for redundant balance transfers. This was very poor customer service and a complete waste of time.

I have called ACS multiple times over the past year to see if there was anything I could do to lower my monthly payment on my private student loans. I have been told that all options have been exhausted and there is nothing they can do unless I default on my loan. I have explained that I will not default and I do n't want to be in deferment or forbearance, I would simply like to find a way to lower my monthly payment and pay a little less per month. 

I am paying {$1000.00} per month ( {$260.00} for federal and {$730.00} for private ).

Company: HW Holding, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have filed a dispute previously and received communication from the company, however, my initial concern, that I did NOT receive notification from company '' prior to this being placed was not discussed in their responds to my dispute. I have not received any calls or voice mails from this company and the letter that they provided never reached me, the address that is on the letter that they have attached to my previous dispute is not a valid address for me, I have also had my mail forwarded so had they placed a correct address, I would probably have received it and would have been able to deal with this accordingly. AGAIN, the address listed on the letter that the company provided on my last dispute, IS NOT a valid address, there is NO LOT number on it, therefor it must not have been placed into a mailbox or forwarded to me. Also I had disputed with the initial company When I vacated the premises concerning the owed rent. I have NOT received any information from them concerning ANY type of fees. How am I supposed to receive ANY information, if THEY have listed an incorrect address. Therefor, I am once again requesting that this be removed from my credit report and that if there is something truly owed, that I be provided with an itemized statement of what is owed so that I can review and either dispute charges or make payment arrangements if I feel that the charges are accurate. I am not trying to get out of my obligation if there is truly an obligation, however, I am requesting that this be removed from my credit as I have never received anything from either company due to their error in placing the correct address and that the process starts fresh with them sending me the itemized list of charges owed. 

I am attaching a copy of the letter that was provided to me with my last dispute that reflects that this is not a correct address.
