All three credit bureaus continue to display information which is not pertinent including a student loan for a profit University more than 25 years ago and three collection agencies that are the result of identity theft and proven to be so more than nine times through FTC and cfpb reports. It is impossible to relieve and recall the ID stuff warnings I have on my credit since they don't make it easy to do busy making money defunct invalid student loans. The credit history should be there without going to the negative and it shouldn't even be displayed since it's for a for-profit university been forgiven by the president of the United States and also invalid because of the time.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
As background, I authorized a fraud alert on Equifax, XXXX and XXXX on XX/XX/2019. On XX/XX/2019, I received notice that I had a hard inquiry against my Equifax report from XXXX XXXX, initiated on XX/XX/2019. I did not authorize this credit application. 

Upon contacting XXXX card service on XX/XX/2019 via phone, the department 1 ) did not demonstrate any evidence that they took measures to verify the identify of the individual trying to obtain credit under my name ; and 2 ) refused to resolve the matter. This is particularly frustrating, as I contacted the company immediately, prior to any issuance of a credit line. With XXXX ' lack of action, the fraudster could act on a credit line in my name before I can resolve the issue. 

I contacted Equifax on XX/XX/2019, who took additional measures to verify my identity, and then began its internal dispute process, which is ongoing. 

This complaint is against XXXX, who ignored an existing fraud alert when it served the purpose of issuing credit and selling a product, but refused to aid a consumer when an identify conflict arose. This is unacceptable behavior in any context. Given that I am currently in the process of purchasing a home, and so can not freeze my credit to keep me safe, this is even more impactful.

Complaint:
I signed up for the card noting that, like all cards, it can be added to phone ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) wallets. When I received it, this failed to work, I worked extensively with their agents to get it to work to no avail. They admit this is a widespread problem and theres nothing they can do. I advised this is a dealbreaker and that Id want to undo the relationship and Id need the credit bureau inquiry dropped as they have not delivered the key feature they promise and are unwilling/unable to remedy that. I have told them that if they can fix the problem fine, but they have not. I feel I was brought in under false pretenses and should not take a credit hit for cancelling this card.when I told a supervisor that it was unacceptable that they said it wouldnt work and there was nothing they could do, she laughed at me!
