After a denial, request your free report via TransUnion — SmartMove reports at mysmartmove.com are built from your TransUnion file, so start there. After any adverse action you're entitled to a free copy under the FCRA — you never need to pay a third party to obtain it.

Counts are complaint rows in the federal CFPB Consumer Complaint Database whose text mentions the company (case-insensitive scan of 27.8 million rows, 2026-08-10). Text mentions, not official per-company tallies — treat them as a relative signal of where consumers report problems. Source: files.consumerfinance.gov bulk data.
