Consumer Narrative
TransUnion website shows that you will receive your 3 bureau reports & scores for {$29.00}. I paid for it but then only received the Transunion report. It then made me pay an additional {$29.00} for the other two reports and scores. This is absolutely false advertising, fraud or something. I then contacted TU over chat but they would not even consider giving me the two products. IF this was just a monitoring fee, they would have tried to keep me as a customer but instead admitted that they charge {$29.00} for my ONE ANNUAL report and score PLUS another {$29.00} for the additional XXXX and XXXX. I requested a refund but do not beleive they will be refunding me. CHAT TRANSCRIPTION Today membership You ( XXXX XXXX )- XXXX XXXX One moment while I transfer you to a live agent.
