Complaint:
I noticed in XXXX that my score was raised by at least 40 points. There has been no changes in my behavior. No new credit. No application for credit. However, 30 days later, my score has now dropped those points. Amazingly, the increase from XXXX to XXXX was in conjunction with a new law being placed ; whereas all reports were to rise. Here it is XXXX and they have now dropped my scores back to the original number shown in XXXX. This is clearly a manipulation on behalf of these reporting agencies. I have also contacted TransUnion regarding " hard inquiries ''. I received a reply stating that there was nothing that I could do and those inquiries would be in place for 2 years. These are inquiries that I did not make. Again, these agencies are destroying and manipulating individuals existence.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA
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 XXXXXXXX17 I requested a mortgage re-fin quote but the creditor could not respond as they could not get a copy of my credit report as it had a " security freeze '' on it. I have never requested a security freeze on my account. I have had this problem for at least the last five years. I spend days/weeks attempting to get the matter resolved to no avail. Equifax has me make written requests to remove the " security freeze '' and then I 'm told weeks later I never had a security freeze. However the next time a creditor contacts Equifax it is the same problem. 

This time I attempted to contact Equifax on its website and by phone. The website advised I could not access it and had to write. Their automated phone system state the same thing Instructions say I need a pin or unique personal identification number assigned by Equifax which I do n't have and never received ; why would I if I never had a security freeze. 

I have placed a extended Fraud Alert on my account but a Fraud Alert is not the same as a Security Freeze. In the past, Equifax 's phone rep confuses " fraud alerts '' and " security freeze :. They provide wrong information, lie to me and to creditors. Most of the problems and lies are verbal. I do have a letter dated XXXX17 confirming that extended fraud alerts where placed on my account at my request. 

From XXXX to XXXX, XXXX I tried to change from cable to XXXX XXXX. Again there was major problems about " security freezes '' and releasing inform. Finally, the non-existing security freeze was lifted ; and then XXXX XXXX wanted a deposit on the basis that I " had a security freeze ''. Equifax representative let it slip that a security freeze was a " negative '' indicator placed by a creditor or Equifax. But I have no evidence and attempted, unsuccessfully, to find an government agency to investigate. I always order copies of my credit report and there is nothing negative on them and no mention of " security freeze '' I gave up on XXXX XXXX. I have TOLD MY STORY on this website before today 's problem. 

Then today I find the same problem. After not being able to make contact by website or phone. I wrote a letter to Equifax requesting they permanent lift all security freezes. I have to mail it on Monday XXXX-17 as it must go via certified. XXXX do n't know why I should have to go to the expense of certified mail for Equifax 's error. However I fear that they will not respond promptly as I do n't have a PIN or unique id number or some other service error on Equifax 's part. It is so discerning that Equifax can continually violate the FCRA and receive no consequences.
