Complaint:
My children, XXXX children, ages XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I were affected by the Equifax Data Breach. Equifax has allowed the consumer information of myself and my XXXX XXXX children be stolen by cybercriminals. Proper procedures and security software should be in place to avoid our information from being stolen. This is a crime and a violation of my rights as a consumer especially since no permission was given to Equifax to have such data to be stolen as a consumer for myself and my minor children. These are long-term threats to our consumer file for a lifetime. I will have to spend so much time and money after XX/XX/2024 til death to monitor, protect and prevent fraud and dispute adverse actions to our personal information. Thus far I had to take off work to even understand the information regarding the case and how to recover from this. I experienced stress, XXXX, sleepless nights, and financial hardship due to the effects of the Equifax Data Breach. I have had to submit multiple disputes with multiple bank accounts, purchase XXXX XXXX XXXX, and correct multiple dark web findings by purchasing protection on third-party websites and apps and my information is still being cycled. This is a nightmare and I wish more could be done for the victims of this case.

Complaint:
My mortgage loan was serviced by service Mac and they sold the loan. I received a letter from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX stating that they are my new mortgage servicer as of XXXX XXXX, and that I no longer make my payments to them as of XXXX XXXX. I paid my XXXX payment to XXXX XXXX as the letter stated. Service Mac is reporting my account as delinquent when they are no longer my servicer. I believe the company is doing fraud they are harassing me stating I owe them for XX/XX/XXXX and now the month of XX/XX/XXXX when my loan is no longer with that company. They will not respond to me and only states that my loan hasnt been transferred when it has and I have been paying the new company. I am very frustrated because they are harassing me for payment and reporting late payments on my credit when my loan was transferred.
