Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, I was unable to temporarily lift my EQUIFAX security freeze via my landline phone, to apply for one credit card the next day. Their automated system requested a cell number ; I do not have a cell phone. I then spent hours on the phone with Agents in the XXXX. They told me to open an online account ; NOT gon na do that, because of their incompetent and reprehensible service. I then answered Agent questions : Name plus spelled out ; Social Security number ; Address plus spelled out ; Date of birth ; Phone number. I am a retired military spouse ; we have lived in the same home for decades ; no changes. 

First, they said their system was down, and to phone back in a couple of hours. In subsequent calls, I answered the same questions while struggling to understand their geographical accents ( I am hard of hearing ). They no longer use the PIN they generated when I initially placed my freeze, via my landline phone, after they finally made consumers aware of their egregious electronic breach of XXXX XXXX Americans. I was then told they could NOT temporarily lift my freeze, but instead to fax them copies of my Driver License and Social Security card with a cover letter ; I do not have a fax. Lastly, I was instructed to mail the requested documents via U.S. Postal Service from California to Georgia ; then wait three business days after their receipt of my slower coast-to-coast mail, and who knows how long that might take. I requested a Supervisor, but was denied.

The Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) states, " If you request a freeze online or by phone, the agency must place the freeze within one business day. If you request a lift of the freeze, the agency must lift it within one hour. '' And the EQUIFAX Agent 's reply to that was, " We're a private company. ''

Company: KLS Financial Services, Inc
State: DC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
The debt in question is from my employment with XXXX University XXXX in XXXX. After my resignation six months later I received a call from KLS Financial Services stated I owed a debt to which I replied I was not aware of any debt and refused to continue conversation. 

Over the next 16 months I found that the amount had been added to my credit file for {$5700.00} for an overpayment in wages. Upon learning this I contacted KLS and XXXX to have the matter removed citing 15 U.S.C. 1692 of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 

I received notification of the disputed item debt from XXXX dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX which was nothing more than a Summary of Earnings Adjustment whereby payroll shows an overpayment for {$3200.00} which XXXX University claims was for 12 days paid to me after I resigned. I spoke to Ms. XXXX and demanded that they remove this as per law any employer based issue over wages first needed to be placed for judgement and as there was not a judgement issued against me the employer had no recourse to pursue me for collection and illegally place into my credit file. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX stating they had removed the debt from my collection file. It was at this point I felt the matter had been resolved and that I could move forward with repairing the damage done. 

I now see that the debt is still found as a collection on all three of my credit files. At this point I refuse to reach out to XXXX because I am told each instance can reset the debt and keep it on my credit. My larger concern is how the credit bureaus did not follow protocols to ask if there was a sufficient judgments in the matter. This would end the pursuit and validate my concerns that it is a bullying attempt by XXXX university to circumnavigate the FCRA rules. 

Please aid me with removing this from my file as I feel the only recourse i may have to take is to sue all parties including the credit bureaus for their lack of responsibility to enforce and maintain laws aimed to protect the consumer.

Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
In XXXX of 2018, Comenity Bank put a late payment on my account. This was an auto-pay issue. The creditor recognized this on their end because when I called to let them know I couldn't make a payment, a rep from the bank told me they had the same issue with other users. They told me to wait a couple of days and try again. Which I did and the payment went through. They also told me that they won't charge me a late fee or report the late payment which they never removed the late payment that was associated with the same issue. It popped up on the credit bureaus and has greatly lowered my score.

Complaint:
My issue is a credit reporting from the student loan company XXXX. They were not distributing my payments properly within their system to avoid me having a late payment on a group. I would pay more than the allotted amounts each month to them on their website and on automatic withdraw from my bank account over the past 4+years. This in turn caused my credit score to drop by XXXX points with equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. This is unfair and unethical to do to a client who is continually paying back on a loan. I work a lot and am very busy trying to make this money to always pay them back so I had no idea I was even reported or late until I had ran my credit report one day. All of my payments are current and up to date. XXXX should have been properly handling my payments to avoid this.
