I receintly applied for a loan and the creditor went through Trans Union for a credit report. I was surprised to find most of the credit info seemed to be missing. On contacting Trans Union I was dismayed to find out that I had 2 credit reports attached to my SSN with Trans Union. After some bouncing around with customer service I finally was able to reach a person who could help. They merged the two files into one. The rep told me it looked like a creditor reported a different birth date and that caused the second report to be generated. Of course there was no security freeze on this second report. I callled to complain and spoke with a Brianna in Trans Unions special handling united states department, she informed me that this is common and that they just merge the files as people call in about it. There is nothing they will do to prevent this. This is an unacceptable security hole as far as I am concerned.
Read and question everything everywhere everytime..
I AM ELDERLY BUT NOT SENILE WHITE FEMALE.
Educated beyond Masters not Phd in the Northeast, and New Mexico now in Florida. Not uneducated, not naive but still trust some entities. NEVERMORE.
Worked in judicial and social services and biomedical research. Single widowed mom helped educate 3 daughters. One is dead and she had been scammed also, not related to death. People targeting both elderly and young are the worst.
Today, 9/01/2015 I wanted to check my credit score ONE TIME.
On TRANSUNION website filled everything in...thought I had read the disclaimers but apparently did not. Gave credit card information for special one dollar $1.00 report. Clicked and found it would be ONGOING with a monthly charge!!!! Called them on 855-681-3196 spoke with Richie who asked me for mega info on me but Refused to give further info on himself...charging information and charges are supposed to have been immediately removed...time will tell.
I am widowed without much ... on limited income and have lupus, arthritis and other chronic conditions. Love many, trust few...always paddle your own canoe...yeehaw! Thanks for allowing the venting rant.
Trans Union LLC Reviews
This agency reported a different address on their file than my current one, and therefore I was denied an Amazon Store Card. They should correct it.
