Complaint:
In 2020, I lost my job in XXXX due to XXXX. I missed exactly 5 payments. From XX/XX/2020 to XX/XX/2020. I was able to get in good standing in XXXX when I got a new job. However I called Capital One and asked for a Goodwill Adjustment on those payments since they happened exactly at the cusp of the Pandemic. And Ive had that account for exactly 12 years. They said there was nothing that they could do. But I think this is ridiculous due to the fact that they were well aware of the pandemic. I'm really trying to get everything back together.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX
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'm having issues obtaining access to my Equifax credit file. I've had a credit montoring product with Equifax for many years without issue. In XXXX of 2019 after I downgraded my plan to a slightly lower cost plan the issues began. At that point I received an error message each time I tried to access and/or update my credit report. 

For a few weeks I was able to at least access my file and review my historical reports & scores then I was no longer able to access my credit file at all. With error messages like unable to verify identify ; no account found, etc. Anytime I have a credit alert or completion of a dispute investigation I'm also not able to access their online dispute site to check the status of my dispute as it give me the error message 'unable to verify identify '. This is quite disconcerting given my 20 year credit history and multi-year purchasing & access of my file via the Equifax credit products. 

I immediately began contacting Equifax and apprising of the issues. Each time they indicated they would escalated to technical support which would take 7-10 day for someone to reach me back. But that never happened. For the last 5 months I've called the credit bureau and have spent 30-40 hours via phone to try and get this resolved. Additionally, I've sent request via XXXX and each time they tell me they will investigate but nothing ever happens. 

Coincidentally, I just happened to try to log on in early XXXX and was able to purchase a new plan and access my file. This was successful for about 2 weeks, albeit sporadic, but since XX/XX/XXXX have not be able to access it and received similar error messages. As recent as XX/XX/XXXX I spent 6.5 hours on the phone with various customer service reps across various departments but to no avail. 

This issue is having a downstream impact to other agencies and companies inability to access my file as well.
