Unable to solve constant "Unable to update local ref" issues

When pulling or fetching, nearly every single time faced with "Unable to update local ref"
Each time I have to go to the terminal and execute these lines to do what I need,
git gc --prune=now
git remote prune origin
git pull
Only then am I able to pull to my branch. Have not been able to stop this from happening. I'm the only one out of about 100 who are pulling from the same repository that has this constant problem.
