Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
I am a victim is ID Theft. I have reached out to all 3 agencies and froze my accounts. Experian has locked me out of my membership account. This issue was sent to their Escalation Department for review and solution. I am concerned that the criminals now have access to my membership account and I can not get any answers from Experian about getting my login credentials working again. As a victim of identity theft I need to be able to access Experian because it is the largest of the three reporting agencies. All three of these companies collect very sensitive information on every American and yet they all have had hackers easily steal this sensitive data*. There has to be a better solution. But for now, all I am requesting is to have the ability to access my own personal account at Experian. 

*Experian acknowledged that their security failure persisted for over seven weeks, between XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

XXXX ( Experian sister company ) had a data breach that occurred between XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

XXXX was hacked in XX/XX/XXXX and was held ransom by the hackers. 

Thank you, XXXX

I provided all necessary documentation and evidence to support my claim. 

Credit reporting agencies must look into disputes within 30 days ( or 45 days if more information is given during the investigation period ) and let the consumer know what the results are. But XXXX, XXXX, and Experian haven't responded to my dispute or given me any updates on the investigation, even though the deadline for the investigation has passed. I am trying to buy a home as soon as possible, and this is really hindering the process.

Complaint:
All my data was sold by XXXX and possibly to many other unknown companies starting several years ago potentially as far back as 2007, even during my time in the XXXX XXXX. Between then and now I am not sure to what extent my personal identity and information has been breached and shared. There is an XXXX XXXX account that I am not aware of in collections. There are three unknown hard inquires on my report as well. There is also a XXXXDept of Ed account that should not be there, as that loan is not valid because the original loan was cancelled as a result of a class action lawsuit ( Sweet v. Cardona ) . I also did not give, authorize, or provide any WRITTEN CONSENT for any of the information shown on my credit reports of which are being reported by these reporting agencies.

Complaint:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against USAA Federal Savings Bank regarding their failure to respond to a billing error I reported on my Credit Card billing statement on account numbers XXXX and XXXX. I initially noticed the billing error on XXXX XX/XX/2023, when viewing both the XXXX statement for the certificate of indebtedness on account XXXX and the XXXX statement for the certificate of indebtedness on account XXXX, and in accordance with the regulations outlined in 12 CFR 1026.13, I promptly sent a written notice to USAA Federal Savings Bank on XXXX XX/XX/2023 via United States Postal Service Certified Mail Receipt Number XXXX. Instead what USAA has done is closed one of the account ( s ) XXXX and continued to report negatively on my account. This has caused me great harm and has not allowed me to take job opportunities that could assist in me paying off debt to setting the affairs of my estate and be in good standing in the private and in my private life. I've also attached my credit report as evidence. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681n, any person or entity that willfully fails to comply with the requirements of the FCRA may be held liable for actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney 's fees, as determined by a court of law. The specific noncompliance issue in question involves USAA Federal Savings Bank 's unwillingness to send me an acknowledgment of my billing error notice. This action has had significant adverse effects on my rights as a consumer and has caused me undue financial and emotional distress. I've missed out on employment opportunities that could pay me XXXX XXXX more per year. I'm also aware that my account was/are held in a trust according to USAA Trust Indenture Agreement. I kindly request the CFPB to investigate this matter and ensure that USAA Federal Savings Bank complies with the billing error resolution requirements outlined in 12 CFR 1026.13. I also request appropriate action be taken to protect consumers and hold USAA Federal Savings Bank accountable for their failure to address my legitimate concern.
