Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
Because of the Pandemic during the months of XXXX and XX/XX/2020 the car payments were late. I called the Lender and explained that Millions of people were waiting for their unemployment payments due to not working because of pandemic. Lender agreed that I would not be penalized for late payments. All of a sudden I notice my credit score drops 30 points because the lender reported me late. I was able to make my XX/XX/2020 Payment because I received the {$1200.00} stimulus check but I was still waiting on my unemployment. I Filed for that unemployment in XXXX and did not receive my first check until XX/XX/2020 and you will see that on my credit report I made a payment of XXXX and XXXX at one time. The lender did this on purpose they know late payment will drop your score and if they keep your score low they stay in business. Something needs to be done about this type of fraud. I have no problem allowing my cell phone records to be pulled to show proof there were calls to the lender during that time. What other reason would I be calling the lender? I have never called them since getting the loan and since the last call to dispute. Infact I can show my bank statements where I was not charged late fees for that month so then why was I reported late to credit bureau.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: AL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Auto debt
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint:
I have explained to the representative for the company that I am aware that I owe this debt and I will be paying $ XXXX  monthly to get this debt paid off. I am currently behind so they continue to call me multiple times a day ( generally 4-5 times a day ) Monday - Sunday. They call me while I am at work and I work for a XXXX  and I am often in meetings, they call me while I am at church. I have paid this debt down some and I'm currently paying slightly more that the monthly payment to get it paid off. I have asked them not to call me everyday but I was told they could not control that. I was also told they needed the exact day I would send the payment. The exact date will change because I get paid bi-weekly. Our checks are automatically deposited. Recently, I was 2 days late sending it because our financial director had to leave due to a family emergency so I didn't get my pay as scheduled. Therefore, I was 2 days late sending the payment. This is why I prefer to send it monthly. This is a debt from a car that was totaled. I have paid over 12,000 on this debt and owe XXXX. I don't mind if they call me once or twice a month ( if I miss a payment ) but calling me everyday, 4-6 times a day is excessive. I was going to apply for a loan but the past due is on my credit and has hurt my credit so I am trying to pay this as I go.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
The three credit reporting bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) require me to mail highly personal documents such as a copy of a Social Security card, birth certificate, and driver 's license in order to place a freeze on my daughter 's credit reports. I can place a freeze online for myself, but for some reason they make it more difficult and significantly less secure for me to do it for her. I'm worried about something happening to the documents as they cross the country. It's very insecure to have to mail these documents. I thought they were required to allow me to do it by phone or online. Is this not the case?
