Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Received unsolicited financial product or insurance offers after opting out

Complaint:
My first stop was the Federal Trade Commission website to find out how OPT OUT of Prescreened Credit Offers.

I found a link to XXXX which is apparently run by the major credit bureaus.

After two days [ XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX ] and numerous attempts to OPT OUT, I believe this site is intentionally defective and designed to not process valid consumer requests.

I have filled out the form dozens of times including the XXXX  and get the same two errors every time. The screen shot is attached.

Must Use Valid Format on the ZIP Code field.

Must Use Valid Format on the State field.

I have tried both XXXX and XXXX to no avail.

The State information is a pull-down list, the website fills out that field incorrectly on its own. There is nothing I could possibly do to fix it. This incompetence or another dirty trick from the Credit industry.

I believe this form was intentionally designed to prevent consumers from protecting themselves from unwanted credit offers.

Complaint:
I contacted the credit bureau to find out information about a bankruptcy I was disputing. I was within my rights to ask who the furnisher of this information was as per the FCRA. The customer service representative did not want to disclose the information I was requesting. After going back and forth the customer service representative lied to me and said the furnisher of this information was the court house. I then called the court house and they informed me that they do not send any information to the credit bureaus and it states the same information on their website XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I was lied to about how my information was being reported and that is a direct violation of my rights according to the FCRA. According to the FCRA the bureaus are required to disclose this information upon request. I also disputed the information via certified mail and received a simple response of verified with no further explanation of how this was certified. I am respectfully requesting that this bankruptcy information be removed from my credit report as per the fair credit reporting act. Thank you for your time.

Nope that doesnt fly with me and if they continue to ignore my requests these un empathetic individuals will likely face consequences as my grandfather is paying for a full investigation. 

I have not XXXX XXXX to pay back and some time to get back on feet would be appreciated and I know I have at least XXXX or more months left on my forbearance which has been acknowledged by nelnet and acting like it never existed. Thank you.

Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
Completely out of the blue, I received a letter from Chase stating that they are closing my checking account and credit cards due to unexpected activity. When I called to ask what caused this, they wouldnt/couldnt tell me, saying a different department had made this decision and that is final and permanent with no appeals process. I have no idea what might have happened to make them come to this decision. They had never given me any indication before that there was a problem. Ive never had any penalties and have always paid my account balance in full on my credit cards. Theres no rational reason I can think that they would spontaneously close my accounts, and its extremely frustrating that they wont tell me why. 
The letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX but I only received it XX/XX/2023 and they said I have until XX/XX/XXXX to withdraw all my money.

Complaint:
This company as a furnisher and a repository has been given ample opportunity to correct all data on the credit report concerning student loans. They were given identity theft reports and there also has been affidavits filed with XXXX stating the same measure. What this may come down to is the securities fraud that they may be acting in as they have been warned several times that they have no consent to continue on the path they are own. I've asked them to produce the original contract and security agreement. They have yet to do that. I also sent them an invoice and Now I will start reaching out to the IRS and The S.E.C. for all of the Breach that has continued.

Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc.
State: VA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Received a letter from Caliber Home Loans of payments changes without given explicit explanation of the payment changes. If the change is because of escrow or taxes, they should provide the possibility to pay that adjustment. I believe to just notify changes without explanation is a really bad practice of the mortgage company, which can allow making any changes potentially illegal charges. As a matter of fact, I will pay interest for that amount because of this bad practice.
