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:
As a result of the Equifax data breach, many of those affected have been trying to implement credit freezes either online or through call centers, but have been unable to do so due to high volumes overwhelming the systems. I am one such person.
It is noteworthy that I have never asked any of the three credit reporting agencies to handle my private information, nor have I ever consented to them using my private data to use in their business to amass data and share with any institutions, financial or otherwise, that want this information for their marketing purposes. 

I find it outrageous that I have to pay for their errors. For all I know, their lax approach to keeping my data secure was intentional so that they can profit from our fears by offering their credit monitoring/ID theft protection products back to us. In fact, this should constitute a clear conflict of interest and I believe the FTC should look into breaking them up. 

However, in light of the lack of anything getting done, I ask that ALL THREE credit agencies be forced to offer free credit freezes at this point to all those that 'may have been ' affected by the recent breach. It behooves the government to intervene at this point, particularly as the social security numbers are in fact issued by the government and the agencies obtained them from the government - NOT the individuals.

State: VA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Auto debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
About a year ago, I received a couple of emails from XXXX offering me to turn in my leased vehicle and lease or purchase another vehicle. The lease on my old vehicle matured on XX/XX/XXXX. I visited XXXX XXXX in XXXX, VA and agreed to a new vehicle. When negotiating the price, I explicitly told the dealer I wanted all charges rolled into the bottom line. I left the dealer with a new car and at the time, no further charges owed. I did not sign or receive any documentation countering my belief. I turned the vehicle into the dealership on XX/XX/XXXX. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a turn-in settlement invoice from XXXX XXXX with a request for a {$1400.00} payment. I contacted XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about the charges and I was basically told " those are the charges, can't help you ''. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an updated bill for {$2200.00} with no explanation. On XX/XX/XXXX, I, again, contacted XXXX XXXX and was told that the charges needed to be recalculated because they were totaled incorrectly. I was also told that I would receive a return call explaining said charges. I never received that call. Two months later, I called again. Bottom line, I asked for a detailed billing statement for all charges as I had not received one. I was also told that my vehicle was sold at auction for a loss and that total was factored in obtaining the payment total. That total was compared with excess mileage and excess wear. The excess mileage charge was included in the turn in payment and I disputed the damages as I turned in the vehicle in excellent driving condition. The XXXX XXXX agent told me it took 7 days after I relinquished my vehicle to the dealer for someone to inspect it and come up with a bottom line. About a week after this call, I finally received a detailed billing statement. And to my surprise, a different total - {$1600.00}. 
Just to pile on even more, XXXX XXXX referred this bill to a debt collector. 
When I talked to the debt collector, Vital Recovery Services , LLC, on XX/XX/XXXX, I told them that this account was in dispute and not call me anymore until resolved. The agent told me that I needed to pay off the debt for whatever amount even after I told him about the dispute. He could not give me a total amount even after I laid out the situation. He said pay the amount that was the most and worry about a resolved total later. He continued to press the issue of payment and I told him I would not pay it until resolved. I asked him and the company not to call until resolved and he tried one more time to get me to pay.

Complaint:
Today, XX/XX/2018, I contacted Experian about report number XXXX. I spoked with a XXXX, who then transferred me to an account specialist named XXXX out of the XXXX, TX office, with team ID : XXXX. Not only was XXXX very rude, but she refused to delete incorrect information reporting to Experian. My last name has been legally changed and I asked XXXX to remove the incorrect versions of my name, XXXX and XXXX, as well as the other versions of my name that wasn't incomplete, since she couldn't add my new last name, XXXX, to my credit file. XXXX refused to delete the various variations of my former name. I then told XXXX that there should only be about ten addresses on my credit report, but for some reason, there are over 60. I told XXXX that most of the addresses belonged to family members, as I am an XXXX XXXX, as well as to my mother. 

The addresses that are not valid and should be REMOVED are : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, SC XXXX XXXX XXXX CT XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, FL XXXX

Complaint:
I reapplied for my income driven repayment plan on XX/XX/XXXX. As part of the application, I was asked whether I wanted to renew my existing plan or to apply for the lowest payment plan. I selected the latter, and the XXXX website indicated that I would be contacted by XX/XX/XXXX regarding my application. This did not, and as of XX/XX/XXXX has not, occurred. 

In mid-XX/XX/XXXX I received a bill for the full amount of my payment. After three calls to XXXX, one on XX/XX/XXXX and two more on XX/XX/XXXX, I learned that because I had selected the lowest payment option, I needed to make a qualifying exit payment before my IDR  application would be processed. Although the qualifying exit payment could be reduced to XXXX dollars, it was then too late to process the request for XX/XX/XXXX. Thus, I forced to go into forbearance for XX/XX/XXXX, and make the exit payment in XX/XX/XXXX. As part of this process, I was instructed that I should suspend automatic payments, which I did. I telephoned XXXX again on XX/XX/XXXX to confirm that there would be no further problems. 

At first, it appeared that the problems had indeed been resolved. I received the expected bill of XXXX dollars for XX/XX/XXXX. Since my automatic payments were suspended, I made the payment manually. Unfortunately, there was some problem with the bank, the exact nature of which has not been explained to me, and the payment had been rejected. Thus, on XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX yet again and made the payment. The XXXX representative also told me that my IDR  application would be processed in approximately twenty days. 

One week later, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email informing me that my loan application could not be processed, and that a letter would be sent with further details. As I was traveling, I was not able to call regarding this new issue. One day afterwards, this morning, I received another email informing me that my application has expired because, quote, we needed additional information from you to fully process your request, unquote. 

This statement is completely and unequivocally false. At no point in the past three months has XXXX requested any additional documentation or information, despite no less than five separate phone calls to their office. Indeed, XXXX representatives told me, repeatedly, that the delay in processing my application was solely the result of the need for the exit payment. XXXX representatives also told me, repeatedly, that the processing of the application would not even begin until the exit payment was made. That payment occurred on XX/XX/XXXX. There is no possibility that they required additional information prior to that date. 

As a result of XXXX 's incompetence, I have lost qualifying PSLF payment periods, for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I have no doubt that I will also be forced to go into forbearance in XX/XX/XXXX.
