Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I attempted to ask XXXX and Equifax to remove fraudulent credit inquiries after an agency illegally ran my credit WITHOUT my approval. I was told I had to give my social security number over the phone so they could verify me before they could answer any questions about my inquiry when I was only CONSIDERING refinancing my home of 35 years. I told the phone agent that I would comply since that was their business policy, but I was NOT giving permission to run it. 

The agent lied to me, ran it anyway and later called me and said he had come up with a great package for me! I was surprised and disturbed, but he sad he hadn't understood me ( he said I must give him my social security number to verify me over the phone, I did not give him permission to use it ), but not to worry it was only him pulling it and the deal was great! I was even going to get money back! He told me he would email the loan package and I should sign, but not tell anyone what a great deal I got. 

Later on, after I showed the package to my daughter, she told me to not sign it because the phone agent offered me excessive, XXXX rates of nearly 30 % interest! A while later when she looked at my credit, my score had dropped severely. She explained it was due to all of the hard inquiries. After that, it became a consistent problem - credit card agencies, auto dealers, etc. Sometimes, multiple times a month my XXXX XXXX showed hard pulls that I never contacted or gave permission to. My score was in ribbons! I tried to get them off but was overwhelmed and confused. I was told to call each company, which I did. Many are still on there. They told me even if they did not have permission from me that it was a common practice and they would drop off after two years. That is unfair to me. Here is the list from XXXX. I never gave these companies permission to check my credit and feel my information was passed around without my knowledge or consent. Equifax 's is in the next box due to space : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MI XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MD XXXX XXXX BOX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXX XXXX BOX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, OH XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, UT XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, RI XXXX XXXX BOX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX BOX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MD XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX

State: AZ
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
I have spent well over a year disputing multiple inaccuracies on my personal credit report with all 3 of the major credit bureaus to include XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion. 

I have spent large amounts of money during this time to send my dispute requests via US Certified mail because every other manner in which I have attempted to dispute would end up with constant mail tagging back and fourth or the credit bureaus stating that they never received my requests.

To Date : There is now not only ( 1 ) but now ( 2 ) Wisconsin addresses that is displaying on my personal credit report in which I have NEVER resided or even stepped foot into the State of Wisconsin, I have made this very clear to all ( 3 ) major Bureaus by providing my valid State Issued Drivers License with each one of my dispute  letters. 

There are Dated/Old Student Loan accounts that have been Paid/Closed that are appearing on my personal credit report multiple times, listed individually which is impacting my overall credit score. These loans have been consolidated with one agency and the other agencies have been paid in full.

There are multiple items reported on my credit report as Negative that do no belong to me, and I have advised all ( 3 ) credit bureaus that my personal information was compromised through a previous employer who experienced a data breach, and also XXXX who has also experienced a data breach. These data breaches are impacting my personal credit report in a negative manner. 

Each time I initiate a dispute with the ( 3 ), major credit bureaus, it result with no changes being made to my personal credit report and no information is being provided as to how they came to this conclusion as if though they are not even taking the initiative to properly investigate my dispute claim. 

I do not work for either of the ( 3 ) major credit bureaus and I feel that if they are going to report inaccuracies on my personal credit profile, then they should at least take the time required to verify the information that they are listing on my personal credit profile using their own resources and tools, since they are apparently being PAID to list these inaccuracies on my personal credit profile. 

I am at the point where my hands are tied and I am now at the mercy of your agency to get some assistance and accurate results regarding my multiple attempts to get these issues resolved with all ( 3 ) major credit bureaus.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NC
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
I tried to make a transfer from my Marcus account to another bank that was offering a higher APY. Marcus locked my account when I initiated this transfer. I called to find out the issue and kept being hung up on. I finally spoke to a supervisor, and they said they would send me an affidavit to verify my identity. I received the affidavit two weeks later and got it notarized virtually using an app called XXXX that charged {$25.00} for a virtual service. I could not physically make it into a store to notarize because my husband works and uses the car, plus I have XXXX babies to take care of. After I got the affidavit notarized, I paid {$30.00} for certified mail so they could receive it the next day. My tracking receipt shows they received the form on XX/XX/2023. 
When I called to confirm, they said it was under review and would take seven business days to review. I called back on XX/XX/2023, and was on hold for three hours. Then the representative said it was notarized by someone in Texas and needed to be done in North Carolina, where I reside. I told her I paid {$25.00} for a virtual video service to get this done. Hence, people work from virtually anywhere to help get documents notarized asap if they can not physically make it to a location. She said they would be sending out another form so it could be done in NC. I then asked to close my account. After all, I am no longer interested in banking with a bank holding my money hostage for over a month, all because I wanted to transfer some of my funds. She said she would send a code to the phone number I have on file to close the account. The code never came, and she asked if I had an alternate number. I told her I only use one number on my account and have not had issues using this number in the past for my account. She put me on hold for another hour and said my account was in review to be closed, but I will need to call back for updates. This has been the worst banking experience I have ever encountered, and I would like to close this account asap. They are holding onto my money and will not let me access or close my account.

Complaint:
FROM XX/XX/XXXX TO CURRENT XX/XX/XXXX. I HAVE RECEIVED LATE FEES FOR PAYMENTS THAT WERE ON TIME. IVE HAD MY CHECKS NOT GO THROUGH AND WAS UNABLE TO REACH ANYONE TO FIND OUT WHY OR WHAT I NEEDED TO DO? MY BANK HAD BEEN VERIFIED AND ACCOUNT INFO WAS CORRECT SO I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO REACH OUT TO OTHER ENTITIES. I CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE UNTIL I WENT TO THE XXXX XXXX WEBSITE AND SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE THERE AND ALSO CONTACTED MY LENDER TO TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED. AFTER 3 MONTHS I RECEIVED A RETURN FROM THE LATE PAYMENT FEE THAT WAS ERRONEOUSLY APPLIED. 
WHEN I TRIED TO SET UP MY ACCOUNT ONLINE TO MAKE PAYMENTS THEY WERE NEVER ABLE TO SET THE ACCOUNT UP FORCING ME TO CALL EACH MONTH WHICH NO ONE EVER ANSWERS THE PHONE. WHEN I ACTUALLY GOT A CALL BACK FOR THE INTERNET ISSUE I WAS TALKED DOWN TO LIKE A CHILD OR A DOG. MY ACCOUNT WAS RESET OVER AND OVER AND OVER WITHOUT REQUESTING IT TO BE SO I WAS NEVER ABLE TO LOG ON AND USE THE SERVICE. 
IN XX/XX/XXXX I TRIED TO CHANGE MY HOMEOWNERS TO TRAVELERS AND THE NEW INSURANCE CALLED ME 2 MONTHS LATER SAYING THEY NEVER GOT A PAYMENT. WHEN WE CALLED ON 3 WAY THE PERSON I SPOKE TO TALKED TO ME AND THE INSURANCE LADY LIKE WE WERE TRASH. HE TOLD US THAT WE COULD NOT CHANGE OUR INSURANCE BECAUSE IT HAD ALREADY BEEN PAID. THAT I WOULD OWE ALL THIS MONEY. HE MADE ME FEEL SO BAD THAT I JUST STOPPED THE PROCESS. WHEN I CALLED HIM OUT ON HIS BEHAVIOR, HE ADVISED THAT IF I DID N'T LIKE IT I COULD HANG UP. HE WENT ON TO ARGUE WITH THE INSURANCE REP FROM TRAVELERS ACCUSING HER OF NOT KNOWING WHAT SHE WAS DOING WHEN SHE HAD BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR 15 YEARS. THE PHONE CALL LASTED AN HOUR WITH HIM ARGUING WITH US. 
I HAVE EMAILS OF HIM TRYING TO APOLOGIZE FOR HIS ARROGANT SLANDEROUS BEHAVIOR. I ALSO HAVE EMAILS OF ALL TIMES I HAD ISSUES WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO GET A RESPONSE FROM SOMEONE. 
CURRENTLY THE MORTAGE COMPANY IS SAYING I OWE THIS EXTRA MONEY WITHIN MY ESCROW ACCOUNT, BUT YET WHEN I CALL THEY WONT CALL ME BACK. SO I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY MY MORTGAGE WENT UP {$50.00} DOLLARS A MONTH AND WHY THE ESCROW ACCOUNT PAYMENTS DO N'T ADD UP AND THEY WONT CALL BACK. I HAVE TO KNOW WHY ITS WENT UP? I ALSO NEED THEM TO EXPLAIN WHAT THEY DO WITH THE FUNDS THEY RECEIVE? THE AMOUNTS DO N'T ADD UP ON THE STATEMENTS THEY SEND. WHAT CAN I DO?? THIS HAS TO STOP!!! STATE HOME MORTGAGE HAS THE WORST BBB RATING AND OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINT RATINGS I HAVE EVER WITNESSED!!! WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR WITH SUCH RATINGS? IS THEIR NO PENALTIES OR DISCIPLINARY ACTION THAT CAN BE MADE AGAINST SUCH COMPANIES TO KEEP FROM THEM FROM CONTINUING IN THEIR ACTIONS??
